3ds Max :: Avoiding Reflectivity On Transparent Maps

Feb 5, 2014

I can't quite get the effect I am looking for.  I have a flat plane mapped with a standard reflective material that has a transparency map.  I'd like the transparent areas of the map to disappear and not have reflections.  I'd also like my lights to be excluded from the reflections.  I tried to exclude my light group using the "local exclude" button in the reflection map, but nothing changed.  I've also done tests unchecking each box withing the material editor to see where this can be controlled.

AutoCAD 2010 :: 3D Reflectivity And Glossiness

Feb 5, 2013

I have a question about 3D rendering in Autocad 2012. The image attached to this post has three objects with different presets using mental ray. From right to left the reflection varies from perfect mirror reflection to a diffuse reflective surface. 

I've been struggling with Autocad to render diffuse reflective surface but every time i use reflective and gloss in a non metallic material the result is always mirrored. When objects are illuminated with a white point light the white color should cast and reflect in the materials in a diffusive way, unless the material has a glossy finish.

Can i get diffusive reflections in objects such as the example in the middle or the one in the right of the picture of this post or do i have o use other program for final photorealistic render?

3ds Max :: Lighting Maps And Material Maps Intact

Feb 28, 2011

I would like to know if I can import my AutoCAD 3d file into 3DS MAX, with the lighting maps and material maps intact. This is because I am doing my thesis on AutoCAD 2011 but I would like to use 3DS Max to do a walk through video.

Photoshop :: Avoiding Jaggies In 3D Renderings

Oct 7, 2012

I'm noticing Jaggies in a rendering done with Image Based Light at the edges of bright reflections.  Obviously I'd rather not have such jaggies.
 
I have the feeling that the problem is because the light is so bright that the rendering is ending up with a clipped result at edges between extreme bright and dark.

VideoStudio :: Avoiding Re-linking Checking

Nov 3, 2010

Picture this:

I have a project: project.vsp
I have a file: d:file.avi

I click on "project.vsp" the program starts and i should just be able to render it.

However

The file ("d:file.avi") is frequently rerendered. It has the same resolution, and duration, but the content is new.

Every time i click on "project.vsp" I am told that d:file.avi is missing (even though it isn't) and I have to relink it or skip.

Isn't there some way to just get the program to load the file without bugging me?

It seems if i go to preferences and uncheck the relink setting, the program will instead just skip the file and not load it - which is not desirable..

AutoCAD .NET :: Avoiding Duplicate Event Handlers

Sep 9, 2013

In order to avoid duplicate event handlers, I did like the following...
 
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;try { doc.BeginDocumentClose -= new DocumentBeginCloseEventHandler(MyEventHandler); }catch { // Do nothing }doc.BeginDocumentClose += new DocumentBeginCloseEventHandler(MyEventHandler); 

The above worked greatly with AutoCAD 2007. But yesterday I migrated my code into AutoCAD 2010 (with Object ARX 2010).

Unfortunately, it seems like AutoCAD 2010 catches before my code catches it. I guess I could just have a global boolean value that checks the status of event attachment.

Please tell me a way to reduce this quality loss. I have to save the images in JPEG as I have to post them on the internet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sort BOM While Avoiding Locked Parts

Dec 3, 2012

I need to sort the BOM (structured) while avoiding three parts. So I attempted manually locking the three parts in the BOM through the user interface and then running the following code

 ' Set a reference to the assembly document. ' This assumes an assembly document is active. Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

' Set a reference to the BOM Dim oBOM As BOM oBOM = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.BOM

' Make sure that the structured view is enabled. 'Set a reference to the "Structured" BOMView Dim oBOMView As BOMView oBOMView = oBOM.BOMViews.Item("Structured")

'The following line works correctly Call oBOMView.Sort("Part Number",True) 'Re-Number the BOM Call oBOMView.Renumber(3, 1) 'Re-Sort Items 'Call oBOMView.Sort("Item",True)

The above code is bits and pieces that I have combined from the internet. The only problem with it is that sort works fine on some files while on others it skips a few e.g. 1,2,5,6,7......

Is there any way we can sort the BOM while avoiding all the locked parts.

Paint.NET :: Avoiding White Trails Or Fine Lines After Using Eraser And Lasso

Oct 6, 2013

Just grabbed Scott's book from amazon and can't wait to get a better understanding about some of the tools I've been using. In the meantime I just noticed that I have some white trails or fine lines in an image I'm working on that appear after I have been moving things around and deleting sections etc.
 
It's no problem on a little image like this to run around with the brush to tidy it up and then fill white/transparent, but I'm wondering if there is there a setting or an order of working that avoids making the lines in the first place?I have filled the background in black to show the trails...

Photoshop :: Enlarge Image Of Multiple Intersecting Low Resolution Contour Lines While Avoiding Pixelation

Feb 28, 2012

Problem: How to enlarge (100 times) image of multiple intersecting low resolution contour lines wile avoiding pixelation?

Simple answer: It can't be done.

Second thoughts: Well, under some circumstances it can be done... sort of. For example if lines are orthogonal to begin with then simple re-sample to nearest neighbor algorithm will do fine. If lines are simple enough, then tracing them with pen tool and recreating the original lines at higher resolution by stroking the paths with a brush will do also. Also if original lines are smooth and thick enough then some re-sampling, blurring and leveling can work (anisotropic diffusion filter may work) but will produce smoothing artifacts at corners.

From what I can see the problem boils down to creatively converting the original lines to vectors (paths / shapes) and avoiding the whole messiness of raster anti-aliasing. But here we face additional problems: Adobe trace engine is not smart enough to recognize geometric shapes, intersecting lines, straight edges, orthogonal lines and mathematical curves - just try to trace a font and you will end up with a baggy monster. Additionally, it appears that in Photoshop center-line trace is not possible and you are limited to outlines.

Illustrator :: Automatically Print Data Set While Avoiding Print Dialog Box?

Aug 13, 2013

My company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
 
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
 
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
 
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?

3ds Max :: How To Use Material Maps

Mar 23, 2013

how to add refletion to a material. In Cinema 4d I can simply click and reflection and adjust the parameters and i have it, but 3ds max is more complicated and has more things. So i go to "maps", check the box for "reflection", than i have to choose a map. But i want a map that gives me total reflection everywhere, no falloff or things like that. What map do i have to choose?

So I somehow managed to add multiple libraries to my material editor. I think I didn't realize they were added so I kept adding them. Now I want to delete them because I'm not using them, and they just get in the way for when I'm trying to get to the default maps.

Here's a screen shot....

Lightroom :: 4 Can't See The Maps

Apr 20, 2012

I have installed LR4 X64 on a brand new Windows 7 ultimate laptop. I can't see the maps. I have updated to LR4.1 RC still can't see the maps. I have checked the firewall logs and added LR to allowed programs. Still no luck. I have turned the firewall (Windows) off. Still no luck. All other app access the internet OK. Other features in LR can access the internet OK, e.g. ftp to my website. I have searched google and this seems to be a problem for others with the X64 version.

Photoshop :: Displacement Maps

Feb 21, 2008

trouble applying a displacement filter to my flattened images. I think i know how to create the displacement map. I right click on any one colour channel; duplicate it; save as a new channel; and save this new b&w image as my disp. map.

But then i go back to the image that i want 'displaced', click on the appropriate layer, go to Filter>Distort>Displace, click OK on the little dialog box and then open the previously created disp. map. Then nothing happens.

i have CS3 Production Premium installed.

3ds Max :: Preserve UVW Maps After Optimize?

Sep 8, 2011

I've made a model I'm content with - editable poly, and have added a UVW Map modifier and Unwrap UVW and subsequently rendered the UVW, taken it into photoshop and done what I would like to it then brought it back in as a diffuse material - all worked fine.I'm going to be using the asset in a prototype game so want to decrease the number of triangles rendered. So to decrease the polygons I've added an Optimise modifier. This is great for decreasing the number of polygons, but unfortunately as it changes the underlying geometry, it appears is mucking up the UVW coordinates and my material is all over the place.

What is the correct process or technique to decrease the polygons and preserve the UVW map appearance on the object, which was set on the higher res version? I've tried changing the modifyer stack order but as the shape has a number of irregular surfaces, the unwrapped UVW in peel mode is a real mess and would be extremely difficult for me to texture with any consistency.

3ds Max :: How To Display All The Maps Used In The Scene

Apr 9, 2013

I have a model with jpg textures.

I renamed all the textures to tif textures and now 3ds Max tells me that there are still missing jpeg textures.

I followed the tutorials on the web to fix these issues : I mean by using the material/map browser but I can't find the "root Only" checkbox that is in 3ds Max 2009.

How can I display all the maps used in the scene ?

I never had a problem with this when I was using CS4...
