Born2killx Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I made that using Chris's starfield tutorial, trickman's sun recommendation, a gaussian blur at 18 pixels, and a glow. Well, actually, another glow after Chris said it was a little dark. I built my first computer at age 11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picc84 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 @CMD ok, yeah i made one, does not look as "diffrent" as the one on hear... @Born2KillX not bad... i like the little blue arura thing in the bottom left corner, also, i was wondering if it would be possible to make a "graphical" sun, with the sunspots and all, i'am going to try it, i think i have an idea...

Born2killx Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 And I added the Made with Paint.NET button! I tried to make an image map thing for the button but it kept messing up so I gave up. The link was going to go to Paint.NET's site. CMD give me advice, you're a web page designer, arent you...? I'm only 11...

Picc84 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 thats cool born2killx i dont no though, i kinda dislike runescape, but i like that sig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 @Born2Killx: Nice sig, although I have no idea what runescape is. Also, no image maps in phpbb. Sorry. Idea influenced by watching too many Spore previews in one night (I'm on the eleventh time now). Yet it won't come out till EA's first fiscal quarter '07. :x I am going to start posting jpegs (or gifs if needed) from now on. Large pngs take a long time to load on dialup (using a friends internet connection...eek) ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKN Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 lol trickman practice makes perfect i guess.. i'm just used to draw w the mouse sou do seixal, fica ao pe de lisboa ( caso n soubesses ^^) nice pics every1 Illnab1024 how do u do the planets?

Illnab1024 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 a planet layer and a glow layer make the nice outline. The glow layer is a duplicate of the planet layer that has been blurred and has had the Glow effect applied to it. I also use noise, frosted glass, sharpen, blur, etc. to achieve the look of the planets. On top of the oil painting starfield, it gives nice particle effects. Here is a corona'd version of earth I achieved with a similar method: ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Something I've been toying with: Reasons for wanting a new logo: * Change is good, and refreshing * We only have our current icon at up to 128x128. With a new one designed from scratch (by me!) we have it at up to 2048x2048. This makes it easy to provide a 256x256 icon for Windows Vista, and to publish higher resolution logos. * It's fun And yeah the thing was done entirely in Paint.NET ... a mix between 2.6x and 3.0. The latter has better text rendering.

Illnab1024 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well. Bring on the change! And also, I do notice the smoother text (can we blame that on better GDI+?) ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well part of the reason it looks smoother is because that PNG is resized from an original that is 6000 x 1216 But yeah, I finally found out how to make GDI+ draw text that doesn't look, as one user described it, "anemic" (I'm not making this up!).

13_15_4_14_1_18 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Awesome Rick! I've never been able to do per-pixel image editing.. EDIT: I've noticed that image is called "pdn30logo_small" If that's small.. what's big? :shock: EDITEDIT: New sig. Here's a bigger version with a few minor differences. I realised this size was too big for a sig: If you're not into numbers, call me Chris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Like I said, the original is 6000 x 1216 The "tetris" design on that sig you did is pretty cool, although the "Paint.NET User" text could use some anti-aliasing. (in v2.64, I recommend drawing the text at 2x the size you want, then using Image->Resize to cut it in half and smooth it out) The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 In fact, to put things in to more perspective... the brush alone is an 18-layer 2048x2048 image that takes about 400 MB to load on my system. The icon is then a 10-layer 2048x2048 image, where the brush takes up 1 layer (flattened, the copy+paste and rotate to the right angle). Lastly, the full logo is a 12-layer 6000x1216 image (one layer for the icon).

13_15_4_14_1_18 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Holy cow.. that's huge!! When you say about the anti-aliasing.. Do you mean in the full-size or actual sig? If you're not into numbers, call me Chris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13_15_4_14_1_18 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Okay, it's changed now. Thanks for the advice, I never would have thought of doing the resize thing! If you're not into numbers, call me Chris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
