3ds Max :: Create A Complex Shape With Opacity Map

May 29, 2012

I am trying to create a complex shape with an opacity map. To keep things simple, consider an egg shape with heagon shaped windows. I have tried to create a solid / shell with boolean cut-outs, but getting these windows at the right angles is becoming very difficult.So, I tried a CV Surf with an opacity map. This allows for the windows to work well, but there is no depth to the surface.Is there a way to add depth to a CV surf object? Also, I want the map of the interior to be different from the exterior. A solid will have a ton of polygons, making mapping a huge time sink.

Illustrator :: Create A Shape With Pantone Color And Then Decrease Opacity In Color Swatch Palette

May 30, 2013

When I create a shape with a Pantone Color and then decrease the opacity in the color swatch palette, then go to my swatches palette and select "Select All Unused Colors" it highlights the pantone color being used in the file. In previous version, it never did this. This is for CS6. Any know fix for this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Moving Around A Complex Shape

Sep 23, 2011

I have a problem regarding a mechanical design. I want to make a pin move around a complex shape, always tangent to the sides of the shape. The point is not to have it animated, but I need the constrain so I can further work on the mechanical design.

I've attached a photo and the files.

3ds Max Modeling :: Shape Merge On Complex Surfaces

Sep 27, 2012

I have a topo map in max, and I'm trying to raise and sink parts of it to make sidewalks and parking lots. My thought was to import line objects from dwg files, shape merge them onto the terrain, change the material number, then extrude. The problem is that shape merge doesn't maintain the correct shape.

I've made sure that I'm in orthographic mode, looking straight down on the surface, but anywhere there's a curve it messes things up. Circles become irregular ellipses. Arcs become more convex or concave. Where I'm shape merging two different objects at different times, objects that had lined up, the curves are now different and they either overlap or no longer touch.

I'm assuming that it's because my terrain mesh is too complex, but I'm not sure how to get around that.

AutoCad 2D :: Complex Linetype Shape Versus Text Spacing

Feb 20, 2013

I have created a custom linetype using a shape & also added text. I have tried countless combinations to have a different spacing for the text, without affecting the frequency of the shape.

I want there to be no space between the shape, just repeating. But I want the text to display only once for every 4 times the shape repeats. Is this at all possible?

Every time I change the text spacing, I get huge gaps in the between the shape and it seems that their spacing cannot be independently controlled.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Running Force Analysis On A Complex Shape In 2013

Apr 17, 2013

Is it possible to run force analysis on my part in Inventor? I have used the force analysis before, but never for something so complex in shape. My main issues are constraining the base of the part and applying forces. I tried thickening sections of the part in order to apply a force/constraint, but now Inventor won't recognize the thickened parts as connected to the main body.

On a side note, it won't let me attach my file, which is 122 MB. Is it too large?

Photoshop :: How To Keep Same Opacity To Vector Shape Using Pen Tool In CS6

Aug 27, 2013

I have been using the pen tool for more than 2 years already, but when I started using CS6, I have lots of difficulties using the pen tool. I use the pen tool for vector portraits and I need to use opacity 8 for every vector.

But when I add another shape on top of it, it gets back to 100% opacity, so I have to change it to opacity 10 again. This has caused me to spend a lot of time on something else than trying to make my work quick and fast.

Illustrator :: Traces Of Shape After Using Opacity Mask And Importing To Photoshop

May 22, 2012

Macbook
OS X lion
AI CS5

I created this logo in Illustrator. I made my basic shapes with a pen tool, put a vector grunge texture over the top of the shapes and then used "make opacity mask" to get my grunge effect. As you can see in the screenshot of my illy it is all very clean and looking like it should. When you open my other picture you can see that once I transferred (cmd+copy cmd+paste) the logo into PS you can now see faint lines of where the shapes used to be *highlighted in red*. I also tried placeing the .ai file in ps but got the same effect. I am using all pantone colors on the logo, both documents are set to 300 dpi....err I cant think of anything else. PS is in RGB, Illustrator is in CMYK (but using Pantone)

How do I get my logo to look as good in PS as it does in Ilustrator?

AutoCad 2D :: Create Complex Linetypes With Text

Jul 24, 2012

I am really new to AutoCAD and we are currently using AutoCAD 2007. I have managed to create a complex linetype with text. I have a DWG of the plan I need to lay utility cables on to. When I put a line with text into the model space, the text is really small so looks like a really small, continous line unless I zoom in until I can zoom in no more; I changed the scale so that the definition of the line and text was more visible (by changing linetype scale and lineweight) but when I go into the layout pages, the line just looks like a continuous thick line when I put the LWT on. If I return to model space and reduce scale and weight, it still looks like a continuous, thick line. The page size is A1..

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Complex 3D Solid For Buildings Ceiling

Jun 4, 2013

I have a problem when designing one building in 3d. The thing is i want to create a 3d model made only out of 3d solids. So there is this complex ceiling, I made out of 3 meshes and above it, in the above floor, there's a non complex plate.

[URL] ........

This meshes are made based on the actual dimensions of different sides of the floor, are unique and are good approximation of the actual building's ceiling. So, I want to make 3d solid that would have the same bottom shape and the same - even top as in the picture if the space between the objects would be filled out.

Photoshop :: Live Shape Properties / Create A New Shape To Replace Old

Illustrator Scripting :: JavaScript Create Opacity Mask?

Aug 14, 2013

I am looking for a way to create an opacity mask through JavaScript. My program has the correct items selected, I just can't seem to find any documentation about creating an opacity mask. If I run the program as is, I just need to click one button ( "Make Mask") and the desired process is completed. Of course I would love to find a way to do this programmatically.

If I cannot access Opacity mask, is there a way to manually do this through grouping and blending or something?

Photoshop :: Pen Pressure Opacity (glitches) And Do Full Opacity Often When Try To Digital Paint

Aug 26, 2013

It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.

Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.

In the animation I am working on, I need an object to instantly go from 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is, even if you use the opacity of the layer as a keyframe, the object will not instanlty vanish, even if it is only on for the timeruler for a quick amount of time.

I need a tool that will drop from 100% opacity to 0% instantly.

Xara :: Unable To Create Shape

Sep 21, 2013

My mindset doesn't work properly with shapes - more with lines and curves from point A to point B.

My normal usage of Xara is for banners and posters etc. not art or technical drawing. Anyway, I wanted to create a specific shape in Xara - it's not that I can't create it otherwise (it's very simple to create in CAD and export as PDF - import into Xara), it's that I can't create it in Xara - No matter what I try I cannot create this exact shape. I say exact specifically because I can close to fudge it, that's not the point. How would I go about creating this shape exactly.
