Paint.NET for IMVU create - Plugins that I like

Hello again, previously I did wrote tips and tutorials in my blog but in Malay version. Sharing with international friends? I think I do need to write in English. But do you know Malay language is actually ancient language? I leave the question here.

During my moment in IMVU, I started using Paint.NET for my IMVU create. There are plugins that I love to use, I used it for my product and catalogue poster. Because of I like making hair texture, Pyrochild's plugin help me alot. I found noise and blur effect that can I use for started. Where the plugin suppose to go once you save in the Paint.NET directory after downloaded? Re-open the application check in the Effect and Adjustment menu.

In the making of hair texture for my IMVU product. Blur, Noise and Distort are the sub menu I will use. I fill the canvas with background colour and to get the texture effect I use Noise and Blur effect.

And you done... basic hair texture.

To make the hair texture looks shine, I added horizontal lines using a lighter colour. To blend the lines in the texture, I use Jitter effect with Motion Blur. Below pictures show how I done it and the result.

You can repeat the action to get more effect. Save in .png or .jpeg file to apply the texture in IMVU create mode in the client.

My hair texture project inspired by someone in the IMVU world. If you read this, I would like to thank you because you inspire me creating product in IMVU. Eventhough I'm no longer online, but knowing you in the world the most memorable moment to me. Thank you so much.

MY PROJECT

-----------------------

I was expected some customers will contact me request to publish the hair using their chosen texture because I did not publish all. So I make a poster and promote it in the Product Catalogue. I would like to make it exclusive and only publish after has a request, sometimes its work but its rare. 

Once you gained skill using plugins, you can create your artwork and edit image and photo with your own creativity and style. Another plugin I really love to use it is Alpa Mask. Alpa Mask help me to create beautiful image. You can check my previous blog (written in Malay language).
