MadJik Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Spirals Effect Plugin What's this? This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Render. You should use it to create/add spirals to your images. And so it's a simple spiral plugin. I want to add more type of curve (later?) like the Cornu's spiral (thanks OMA for the link)... For better performances the spiral is drawn with lines from point to point to avoid ruptures. You could choice the quantity of points and play with the other sliders to have angular or rounded spiral. The spirals use the primary and/or the secondary colors and the brushwidth as default. Download it! Plugin Spiral.dll Here is the DLL The MadJik's All plugins package is available ! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ You have to adapt for your language My Documents The User interface X factor: set the X size of the spiral. Y factor: set the Y size of the spiral. B factor: set the 'radius' size of the spiral. Quantity of points: add/remove points to have longer/shorter spiral. Speed: increase the speed to have a more angular spiral. Angle: you could rotate the spiral. X,Y Offset of the center: choose the place where you want the center to be. Variable color: Each line uses a different color. It increases the process time! 0 for fixed color (for the color wheel), 1 or > to set the number of cycle... Transparency: ...and another level of transparency. Brush width: Set the width of the lines to draw. Options: choose some options between: ...Draw PC line: First spiral with the primary color. ...Draw SC line: Second spiral with the secondary color. ...Reverse: Inverse the rotation of the spiral. ...Draw lines: draw from each point the radius to the center. Some examples: (two spirals and a line to connect them) 3 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Very nice, However, X, Y, B jumps too much when using mouse wheel? by 2, maybe 0.2 would be better?

lifeday Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thank you very much for your opinion. To produce these textures takes a lot of time for me, but somehow after the first frustration and the erasing of the attempts comes the calm and the playfulness. It's really fun!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I've just checked both links in the first post. The DLL link dowloaded as expected. Check your Downloads folder for a file named Spirals.zip.

barbieq25 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Nope, not working for me either. Nothing in the downloads folder. EDIT: I was using Chrome & it would not work no matter what. Changed to Microsoft Edge & yep, it worked. Saved the .zip to the desktop, extracted it & copied & pasted the .dll into the Program Files -> Paint.NET -> Effects folder. There you go. Another plugin for me to play with Edited April 6, 2021 by barbieq25 It does work - change web browser. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
