Developing the skin texture and its applications: here is a 100% PdN arm.

Bye

Pyjo

Terrific, I'll rename you Dr. Frankstein

my first post! I have been playing with Paint.net for a bit now, but just joined the forums last night.

That's really cool, i.m.o there's too much red I'd try to adjust color a bit (and what about put some life in that backyard?)

ZizOiz great bricks. I think they would also look good with more texture.

Pyjo Wow! Very nice

[ZizOiz]

Thank you all, and I agree that Pyjo's arm is very good indeed. I particularly like the blending between upper arm and forearm.

[LFC4EVER]

@ZizOiz: Those bricks are amazing! Very realistic, and i like how the bricks fade away in the back ground.

@pyjo: :shock: :shock: :shock: That arm looks almost real! the skin texture is amazing, now all you need to do is add a shoulder

Made a planet recently and here it is (100% PDN):

Comments and tips on how to make it better welcome.

pyjo great texture

just need you blending secrets now pal. :wink:

madjik LOve the WOW !

inovative. in the extreme!

[ZizOiz]

LFC4EVER: that planet is amazing! nice job on the lighting, and the nebulous cloud in the background! The only thing I would do would be to make the comets go in different directions!

[LFC4EVER]

After having a read and attempt and the playing cards and poker chips made my Cjmcguinness, i decided to create a poker table.

Here it is:

Comments and how to improve it welcome!

@LFC4EVER

looks amazing!!

now maybe put some kind of senery in the background..like a crowed looking on

great work!

heres mine:

[ZizOiz]

LFC4EVER: :shock: Wow! that's incredibly realistic, right down to the shone on the wood! Nice work!

iRock: That's a great color combination in those clouds-it looks just like sunsets I have seen!

great work!

Thanks! I may do a scenery in the background but the look i was going for is the table in a dark room with only the top being lit (that's why the table has no base )

Your sunset is excellent IMO, but to make it better i would make the sun more blurry around the edges and not that sharp. Try feathering or using a Gaussian blur.

That gravity plug-in of Madjik is giving me lots of fun (thanks Madjik!)

Is it just me or lately all posted images are not showing full-size view (like if they were cut on the right side?)

LFC4EVER: Good job with that table

[Max Power]

LFC It seems that the guys who played poker at this table cheated each other. Everybody had 4 Aces xD

[k.digennaro]

Heres one I did for all my fellow italians . Wasn't really sure what to do with it. I might add more later.

My first try at Realistic Images:

Here's with what I started 30 min. ago:

Edit: fixed the reflection^^

[ZizOiz]

I want some of those dice! they're made of transparent red plastic! The only thing I would add would be a bit more shine on them, and to blur the shadows so they look a bit more like shadows.

[LJXD]

here's an orby sort of thing I did using the inside out plugin

And here's another orb i did using the same plugin. I addad some of Ash's snow and stuff

Hope you like them

--LJXD

[worldnewser]

Cool stuff LJXD

The bottom one I like..its wintery and all, especially how you got inside out to make those arrows

The first one's got too much glare on the top half. Maybe you could decrease the opacity.

I think this is borderline abstract, but still you've got interesting stuff.

[LJXD]

Thanks man. Yer i didnt know which one to put it in but i just put it in here.

[R3VENGE]

well i decided to start playing around testing out new stuff and i came across making a window with some gradients

well here it is: (what do you think?)

[LFC4EVER]

@R3VENGE:

It looks good. i like the use of Shape3D and the tilt of the "window" adds depth IMO.

However, it doesnt look like a window to me though, dunno what it looks like really..a glass pane??

Made a PSP on Paint.NET recently.

99% of it was done on Paint.NET, but a few images were used for reference, with one used as a screen.

NOTE: The glass "L" and "R" buttons on the top are a bit blurry, and although i tried to make them a bit more like glass, i obviously didn't succeed IMO, but thats my best shot at glass.

(Posted this in the Image Hospital too, for tips on how to improve)

[GoldfishOfDoom]

Going back a page, I just wanted to mention how cool the dice picture is! The opaque level is perfect, which really makes the picture stand out as feeling complete and realistic to me.

Here's my first attempt at a cake:

It comes from this picture (which I am not entirely happy with, though I think the cake looks reasonably good):

[cjmcguinness]

It's been some time since I submitted anything 100% original, made with Paint.NET - but I finally found the time to fulfil one of my desires/ambitions and create a full chess set, using only PDN. After spending a week (on and off) making the pieces I kinda lost interest in the background; perhaps I'll revisit this later and put in something more interesting.

Each of the pieces was individually rendered using the amazing Shape 3D effect plugin - so are all based on basic geometric shapes, with some additional manipulation. I had to make a decision when it came to the Knight, as this is generally represented by a horses head (not easy with Shape 3D!). After many experiments, I finally settled on a "Lance & Shield" design, and I think it turned out OK (although it's not as solid as the rest of the pieces).

Enjoy.

@CMG: I like it, but could do with better lighting - try Vignette for this.

[topezia]

May I introduce Bad Feet? (the jinxed brother of Happy Feet)

and full-size:

Ciao ciao

A planet I made in Macromedia fireworks before I switched to PDN. No stock images used.
