It's actually some time since I created the basic image and I think I actually did that in Inkscape but there is a a filter called Metalize which does a similar job. It is in a plugin pack which you can get here. dpy's Pack - Paint.NET Forum

Thank you! I had Madjik's, Pyrochild's, and Boltbait's plugins, I missed this one.
I need to smooth it but I think I can bend it to my will. An experiment:

That's good. Its a bit more difficult to use that the one in Inkscape. All you need there is some black text and it does it all for you.

Just DL'd Inkscape and will give it a try. I see it is vector-based like Corel Draw.

Yes it is. For some things that can be simpler. The effect I used is Filters->Non Realistic 3D Shaders->Chrome

Guys. An artist does original work. A mechanic assembles work done by others. I am a mechanic. Take my latest sig. The only original work by me is the text and the border.

Well, nice wrenching Keith

Yes it works. It runs ver-r-r-r-r-y slow and freezes though. how is it for you Keith?

I just installed the latest version and it does seem very slow. Perhaps I'll revert.

I've gone back to the previous version. It's definitely faster.

Very nice work everyone!
