hardwarecompugeek Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 OK, I am working on a CD Cover for my dad's second CD. I would like to make a font that has the top of each letter starting to "denigrate" and blowing to the side of the picture, where it will stop. Kind of like the "Wind" desktop background in Win XP. (minus the sand, I am just looking for the effect) ---------------- Now playing: Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida via FoxyTunes ---------------- Firefox User Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Is this sort of what you're looking for? I got this by doing various iterations of :AddNoise: Add noise and :MotionBlur: Motion Blur, plus a Sine Waves There was a little bit of Splinter and Clone stamp to clean things up a bit too. Let me know if you need some more detail. I'm sure with a little work, you could come up with something much better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwarecompugeek Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yes, but less noise, and more detail. Other than that, it's perfect. I'll go try it now... I like your sig... ---------------- Now playing: The All-American Rejects - Move Along via FoxyTunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardwarecompugeek Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 How do you add Sine waves??? My results are going in both directions.... and like I said, I am trying to get a more detailed look, but I am getting more blur!!! ---------------- Now playing: Nickelback - How You Remind Me via FoxyTunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sine Waves is a plugin that can be found here: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5663 (Put the .dll you get there in the Program Files > Paint.NET > Effects folder and re-start Paint.NET to install the plugin). I used it with these settings: Amplitude: 5 Horizontal period: 0 Vertical period: 1 Angle of start: 0 Anti-alias: 2 You should play around with the "Amplitude" and "Angle of start" for the sand. When you're using motion blur, make sure the "centered" checkbox is un-checked to make it go in one direction. When using blurs, it will get less detailed, but I just added more noise to the section I blurred and it went right back to the sandy look it had before. (Blur steps usually went: Blur -> Add Noise -> Blur -> Add Noise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iyeru42 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Then should I have made a new thread?
