ciberman_11 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi. I'm new to the forums and in need of help. I need to make my own version of this image: Image1 Alberti Cipher Disc Using the Shape3D plugin, I get this effect: Image2 Example: A-Z text after Shape3D is applied Image3 My version of the disc, sadly, sans the letters The settings for Shape3D (ver. 1.2.6.0) I used: Shape: Sphere-Texture Map: Full sphere mapObject rotation-Axis1: 90°-Axis3: 180°Anti-Alias: ONLightning: OffSpecular Light: Off Every other setting was as default. If you look closely, you can see that the way the letters surround the "disc" in image1 (original) is exactly the opposite of the effect I get in image2 (my example). That is, in image1 the bottom of the letters point to the center of the disc, but in image2, the bottom of the letters point outside the disc. This is close, but I really need it to be the same, since this is for a school assignment. Is there any way to achieve this kind of effect (to make the letters "surround" the circle exactly like in the original disc) in Paint.NET? Can anyone help me with this?

Ash Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 After you type the text, flip it up side down, then use shape3d. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
