I am unable to remove the shortcuts from Particle Flow panel. I remove them and then close 3ds Max and then when I start it back up they are back in place.
This makes it so that I cannot properly use those shortcut keys. For instance CTRL ALT M opens up a Particle Flow menu instead of what I have it set to. But if I remove those shortcuts it works. Then I reset max and it is back!
I'm trying to put particle flow presets from Max 2012 so it'll show up in 2014. I put them into the ParticleFlow Presets folder, but notice the defaults have .pfp name, and the old ones are .max files. How to get the old ones to populate into the dialogue for 2014?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to add smoke to a rocket using particle flow. However, while I have managed to do so, with only 400 shape facing particles (which look excellent), they seem to slow down the render about 10 fold than without.
The scene itself has 200,000 polygons with most, if not all, objects having mental ray Arch & Design materials on them. The particles however use a Standard material with particle age, gradient and noise maps. There is currently only one mr area spot light with raying shadows in the scene.
Also another thing is I would like the shape facing particles to be affected by backlighting but I've tried placing orange lights within the rocket boosters and this hasn't appeared to light up the particles in front of the booster towards the screen. I imagine the only way would be to use a material like mr Arch & Design to be translucent.
I’m tying to make an Phaser system with Particle Flow.
What I would like is the following:
The particles first build up, then shoots out along a straight line even if the ship and target is moving, leaving a streak.
The phaser illuminates the scene.
Once it hits the shield (in this case), the particles spreads along this shield showing the curve in a smoke like texture.
Is it possible to setup a camera to follow a single object in particle flow? If so, how is this done?

I have, up until I got CS3 and the new aluminum keyboard, not had any issues with this.
I have numerous, common actions recorded which have F keys assigned to as shortcuts.
F10, which turns sound off in the OS on an aluminum keyboard, overrides my Photoshop shortcut.
I've lost my 12 or so most common action shortucts in Photoshop because of this! That is about a 5% loss in productivity...
I really do not under stand why the particles do not render. you can easily see that they are in the model. I am showing 10% in the view and rendering 100% yet when I render I get none at all.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using PS CS2 and the Unreal 3 engine. I came across a tutorial that had to do with particles in the Unreal editor. The tutorial went well but at the top of the page he had the texture he used for the base of the particle. Here it is: Particle Texture I am seeking information on how to make my own textures like this that I can use for custom particle effects. I have tried blending options, filters and layer setups trying to emulate this texture but all of mine come out to rough and less "whispy" and smooth like the one above. The textures I make work fine in the editor but because they are not smooth and what not the particles look very blocky and unconvincing. Any tips or roads to go down on how I can achieve textures like the one above?

I'm using the particle playground FX and need to interpolate the radius of my particles. I'm able to change the radius, but so far I've had zero luck keyframing the radius size. I've attached two screenshots: one with the radius set to 10 and another with the radius set to 100. As you can see the particle size doesn't change.

View 2 Replies View Relatedam trying to select between red and pink...on a graded level, which makes it harder. I am using the select tool and select similar in order to do so...I was wondering if their was a way to limit the particle size (object total pixzel area) that photshop considers when selecting similar things.
For example, like I stated above, I am selecting for red objects against pink objects...and the red objects are round, so is there a way to limit selection to objects red and have a objective radius of a few pixels?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy question is maybe more of a creative one than a technical one. I want to make an illustration showing that a moving particle has hit a target particle at rest resulting in a collision, where three new particles have been created. They are moving away from the collision point with high velocity. I have been giving it a try, as shown below, but I am not entirely satisfied, especially not with the two particles from the past creating the collision.
They are both gone after collision, but three new particles have been created after collision - Particle Physics is weird! How to make a nice informative illustration. At the moment I am using transparency to show the fact that the particles are moving ...Maybe I will need two illustrations to cope with the past and the future?
how I can get this effect ? The air you can see...
I need to make something for a shoe which has a shockabsorbing system which relies on air. When the back of the shoe touches the ground, the air is pushed out of the outsole... so to make this visible, I need a similar effect as the one below.
We have a project to make flowcharts in Photoshop. I know there are programs specifically used to produce flowcharts, but PS CS3 is what we have. We have the text boxes and now trying to decide what line tool to use to connect the boxes. We tried the brush and pencil tool at 6 pixels and hold down the shift key to draw horizontal, then click and hold shift again for vertical, but we are getting "ink/Paint" blotter bleed.
I tried the pen tool, but it doesn't seem to allow you to draw a single line one way, select it and then apply a 6 pixel stroke. Is it possible to use the pen tool this way?
I have not been able to the nice feature of pressing shift+ number to control the amount of flow while painting for some time now (or to control the amount of opacity with airbrush on). This feature was great when I first started using it back in PS7 but I haven't seen it since the last few packages.
It is a major time saver for any digital painter's workflow and am worndering if their is any way to make this function work again.see the the adobe link if you'd like to see Adobe's description of the function.[URL]...
I have a client that wants to put in a constant flow into an inlet and have SSA calculate the HGL downstream of that (as well as add additional flows at additional inlets). Is there a way to do this? I tried adding an "Initial flow" to a pipe but after running the analysis, that flow wasn't the peak of the pipe (I used 1cfs for the initial flow and the peak was 0.77 cfs).

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs far as I know there are two ways to set the flow of the brush. Either by enabling or disabling [incremental] option, which, to my understanding, when enabling it - sets the flow to 0%. Let's say I'd like to set the flow to 70% and see how it works. how to do this without knowing nothing about programming and computer code?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnimation! I'm really new to this GAP-program. First I did Video/frames to image and changed (41ms) into (120ms), because the animation was too fast.
Bur after this, it still was too fast, so I changed that manually in the Layers-box (into 170ms - 200ms). (I don't wanted all frames to have the same speed). Speed is now good, but somehow it isn't as smooth anymore.
