3ds Max :: Aliasing Of Images Used In Virtual Studio?
Nov 12, 2013
I cannot use any images in a Virtual Studio setup. I mapped the image onto the plane and really poor aliasing is occurring in versions 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Today, I re-installed my subscription version of 2009 and now the antialiasing is almost eliminated and I can go back to modeling which I haven't done for several years.
I have tried everything in 2014 and the other versions listed above, see the attachments. It is impossible to model anything accurately and in detail of human character images. I did not have this problem in ANY VERSION prior to 2010. So, Autodesk, what the devil did you do to screw up the Virtual Studio image set-up? I have tried ALL of the CHOICES for drivers offered in preferences/viewports AND there is no configuration available for the recommended nitrous driver.

I filmed a presentation where most of the content was slides scanned from old books and catalogs. To improve view ability I took the presenter's power points, wrote them to .pdf and then individually scaled them in Photoshop. I then went into to each slide and saved the individual images as separate images (he had them all in .jpeg so I am stuck with that). It didn't look bad inside premiere but once I export it to an .mp4 the old images with lots of lines tend to crawl and its quite distracting. You did a little test video on the first slide:

The best way to stop this before I jump into editing. I don't have access to the original documents--just the scans that were embedded in the slides. Also since there are 80 slides.
I imported a large group of images from last October and 14 of them had virtual copies created from them, mainly the final copies of images I was using. When imported into a new catalog I created in Lightroom 4 beta, only the raw files came over, not the virtual copies. I do notice that they have all been updated to the 2012 process and I did not tell it to do that. I need to remove and reimport them? This could be a big problem for me as I really like to use Virtual Copies.
I've been working on a pirate-themed design and I've pretty much got it finished. But I was told that it has a lot of problems with aliasing so I've been trying my best to clear up these problems. But unfortunately I haven't had any luck. I've even searched the 'net for some guides but I haven't found any as of yet...
I'm not all that experienced with Photoshop so I don't know how exactly to clear up the aliasing problems. I've tried what some people have suggested but I haven't been able to get the same results. Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. I've tried everything else I can think of as well, but it really doesn't make any difference. Either the image remains with aliasing problems or I just make matters worse. (At one point someone did try to correct the issues for me, but the outlines ended up coming out so bad that I'd have to remake the image all over again, and no doubt end up right back where I started.)
So I thought I might ask here and perhaps someone here knows more about what I could do to clear up these problems. This is my image (which will be resized to 256x256 later on). I can see the aliasing issues, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix them. Would, by chance, anyone here be willing to help me with these aliasing issues? Guide me through it, show me what to do, clear them up, or something? Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Also, in case it would help anyone pinpoint the problem by looking at the original .PSD file with layers, I put it up here. I don't know if it will make any difference, but I figured it was better to be safe.

i have it and really only need dreamweaver right now. it suggests installing cold fusion 7 and something else for dreamweaver, is this nessesary... or can i just run dreamweaver..
I scanned some text hand-written with a magic marker. i use threshold to get the artwork plain black and white, select the white with the magic wand, select similar and then delete. i'm left with the solid black image with crisp edges. i have marquee tools, lasso tools, and magic wand set to anti-aliasing off. feather i set to 0.
when i rotate the image to make it level, the image gets anti-aliased. to try to correct that i select the pixels of the image with command click on the layer, delete that layer and make a new layer. then i just have shape of the image created by the selection tool. when i use fill to try to fill it in, the image is anti-aliased. all i want to do is fiil in exactly inside the shape that i have selected.
way to turn off auto aliasing on raster layers that are either standard of a smart object. For example I have a rastered layer with simply a circle with no anti-aliasing so there is no blending of the layer with anything else. My problem is if I resize this down Photoshop automatically adds aliasing to the layer. Is there any way to turn this auto aliasing on scaling OFF?
Does VSP X4 have SmartRender for HDV like Media Studio Pro? Apparently MSP is history, and the only app I see available here is VSP. I would like to use an editor that doesn't re-render HDV footage that isn't processed in any way on the timeline.
I finally have my first and only .Net version of a former VBA function running and I want to make it available to other users, but security is getting in the way. Copying the project even to a different location on the same local hard drive results in a security violation, let alone copying it to a network directory. I am using Visual Studio Express 2008 and cannot find the ClickOnce nor any Publish function written up on MDSN - do those tools only apply to exe style projects?
I did read about a work around of adding an allow remote flag to the AutoCAD configuration file, but that appears to be a massive security hole as it could (I think?) allow *any* malicious dll file to run.
Is distributing / publishing a dll project impossible with Express?

After looking at this one guys visual studio 2005 wallpaper I wanted to learn how he did it. I am trying to duplicate the small squares you see on his wallpaper. how he did the shapes in the wallpaper.
I received a set of files from a client with .max extensions. Is it possible to open or import these into AutoCad? I would like to try this before going back to the client and asking for them in a different format.
I'm having aliasing issue with my smart objects in CS6 I never had before. I've searched all over PS and these forums to try and figure out how to get rid of the jaggies, with no luck. Below is a screenshot example of a SO with the aliasing (I'm trying to reconstruct a dresser top).
The Text tool has options for anti-aliasing - Strong, Crisp, etc. Is there anything similar when filling paths?
I am filling two paths with a common edge; when the Anti-alias box is un-checked, the border looks ragged, but when the box is checked, the border looks grey. I can get the results I want by filling twice with anti-aliasing turned on, but I would like to have the box "Half-checked".
Photoshop worked completely fine until four days ago; now whenever I try to write text it is jagged and not anti-aliased in vector form or once rasterised.
I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.
Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there): ...
I am trying to transform a sprite which is about 32x32 and while using Photoshop's free transform tool to size it to something like 600x600 it becomes horribly distorted (thanks to the anti-aliasing). I need to turn it off while transforming, yet I see no option.
I'm looking for a way to do some anti-aliasing on my drawing. I have a drawing that I scanned in and I cut out a few components of my scan in MS Paint. I did this by drawing the outline manually in one color and then coloring the background with that same color and then copying it with that color as the see-through color. The problem is that the contours look terrible on a black background since MS Paint can't help with anti-aliasing. Instead, I've got these cut-out drawings of objects with a thin white glow around them. That is, when I cut them out, it was extremely hard to move along the lines EXACTLY. I tended to cut more outside the lines than in, and so I took a lot of the white background with it. I need a way in PhotoShop to get rid of those white lines and then do some better anti-aliasing. How can I do this?
I'm copying some vector art (monochromatic flats) from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop as Smart Object. I am making selections from the flats to create individual paths to color however the edges aren't lining up. I end up with gaps between the edges and the lines are jagged.
Can someone please explain anti-aliasing? I am following a few video tutorials, one is saying turn it on and the other says to turn it off.
I've just started working with CS2, and I've noticed some quirks. I can't put my finger on it, but whenever I'm working on web layouts everything I do seems to have a strange aliasing / artifacting going on. I thought it was just my imagination, but then when I was out at the bar with a good friend of mine that's a designer, he mentioned that he'd seen the same problem and moved back to CS. Although it was annoying, I wasn't prepared to take that leap until I was working on a project yesterday and copying an area of solid color (#EEEEEE) into a new image created a dithered effect in the new image. There's absolutely no reason that it should have made any changes to the numbers, but it did. Is this some new function that's supposedly going to help photographers that is getting in my way? Now, I know that Photoshop has not always been the most accurate when working with solid colors and pixelated imagery, etc., but it has always worked really well for the work that I do. There's definitely a difference with CS2, but I really can't put my finger on it. For now, I'm back to working on CS, which is really unfortunate, because I love some of the new interface tweaks that Adobe has made.
I'm trying to apply a gradient to a piece of text. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the text I want the gradient applied to and apply it.
However, after deselecting the selection, I can see that the gradient has aliased edges that are very visable at 100% zoom.
I used gimp 2.6 for awhile just to do simple isolations for various projects.
Recently my gimp 2.6 crashes while trying to load gradients, so i upgraded to 2.8 and all of the brushes that were in 2.6 are gone and NONE of them have anti-aliasing edges so i can isolate things with fuzzy alpha edges.
how to turn this back on or create a brush that has anti-aliasing edges?
I have here an image of a good family friend , replace the background of this photo to something more studio-like... like a cloth backdrop, or something that will naturally flow well with the portrait image (also with the chair remaining in the image ).
I bought a library of models created in 3D Studio Max with vray and haven't been able to import the meshes with their mtl files and jpeg texture maps into cs5 extended. I was able to import the meshes as a 3ds file but was limited to the number of faces and the resultant quality was hit or miss.
I could also import obj files as a single mesh comprised of what should have been several separate meshes. In both cases without a connection to their mtl files or their jpeg texture files. I heard that there is a vray plug-in for Photoshop.
working with jpeg's crossfade transitions and mp3 music, at random times and no paticular clicking of items in timeline video studio stops working and has to close. I am finding this problem very agravating as i am spending more time restarting project and have to save everytime i make a change. Has to be a solution to this or the purchase of this product is not worth anything.
I use CorelDRAW for flight training material graphics. I've started on a video project, using Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD.
The project will be rendered as 720x486. how to setup my page and export graphics I make for this DVD for best quality? I have been exporting as PNG, which I think is best type, at 600dpi. But, I think I made my page too small and maybe some quality is being lost in the render? The graphics look blurry on the video now.
Often I'll render a preview of my work in Studio and want to change the timelines of 30 or 40 different parts. Each part can have 5 or 10 snippets of timeline (the blue lines in "Animation Timeline"), so I end up holding down CTRL to select the timelines I want to delete (easier to start from scratch than sort through a mess of timelines) and I end up clicking through 200 or 300 blue lines to delete them.
Is there an easier way to clear timelines for parts? I don't want to clear all the timelines for a particular part, just up to a certain point. For example, in a 30 second video, I might want to change the speed of the parts at the 10 second mark, so I just delete everything from 0:10 to 0:30.
Attached is a picture of the blue timelines I'm talking about. Not sure what else to call them.
