 Post subject: Paint.NET Tutorial [I] - The Exploding Planet
|
 |

Hey, this is the first Paint.NET tutorial... enjoy
We will be making this:
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1//betterthanyouej6.png[/img]
Requirements: Paint.NET( Application )
Time: <10 mins
Step One: Find a picture of dry mud (or anything with cracks and splits)
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step01cw9.jpg[/img]
Step Two: Invert the colour ( Ctrl-Shift-I )
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step03tk9.jpg[/img]
Step Three: Use the Eclipse tool to select you basic shape of the planet
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step04my8.jpg[/img]
Step Four: Invert Selection ( Ctrl-I )
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step05be3.jpg[/img]
Now delete the selection
Step Five: Fill it in Black

Step Six: Next Step is to Bulge the image.
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step7hc1.jpg[/img]
You want to make it so the object looks planet-like. I put mine to 17, but just put yours to whatever suits the object
Step Seven: Now duplicate the image ( Crtl-Shift-D )
Step Eight: Add Colour Burn to this layer
[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/step8hc3.jpg[/img]
Step Nine: Repeat Step Eight but this time add "Additive" bending[img]http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3388/sssag6.png[/img]
Step Ten: Now Merge Layer Down. You should only have to do this 2 times. (what this does it makes your image only 1 layer, so it's easier to work with)[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/steploldb4.jpg[/img]
Step Eleven: Okay time for some fun, lets add some glow ( Effects > Glow ). You will need to adjust this depending on what you want your planet to look like. [img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/steplolvd1.jpg[/img]
Step Twelve: Once again, Duplicate image and this time add Zoom Blur to the image ( Effects > Blur > Zoom ) the amount of zoom blur you put in is upto you.[img]http://www.gbhfusion.com/uploads/images/tutorials/paint.NET+1/steplolun9.jpg[/img]
Step Thirteen: Okay, now go to Hue and Saturation, change this as you please, after that, Merge Layer Down and your done!
Everyone try this out then post your final product! Ciao
