When I import a 3D model from AutoCAD to 3dsMAX I can slightly adjust the smoothness of the curves to keep the original design curve, utlizing the import options; however it still looks a bit edgy. What are some better techniques to maintain the original curve smoothness of objects when importing from AutoCAD to MAX?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to draw hyperbola curve whose equation is x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1. May I use equation curve tool to make the above hyperbola.
I have also made a hyperbola curve of aforesaid equation through conventional method on mathematical ground in the past.
I have ran an analysis and SSA gave me Error 607 on the report. It says "Inlet A9 gutter capture curve is not a valid curve."
A couple things I did different from the video lectures...
I selected user define for the Tc to figure out Q. i computed those manually.
For the Inlets I have selected Maximum Capture Cutoff.
There are some inlets in this model I created that do not capture 100% of the flow so i created conveyance links to account for the bypass flow.Not sure why is not recognizing the Curve?
Why in LR4 is the Tone Curve default set to Custom with a contrast lowering curve? I would like the default to be linear, but I can't remember how I set that up in LR3.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI've been researching the options to deal with tessellation of my corridor. I see the option to extract feature lines from the corridor and to maintain a dynamic link.
I've now found a link in the docs for converting tessellated lines to arcs. Can I use this command with a dynamically linked FL? And will it maintain the dynamic link? [URL] ....
I am having an impossible time smoothing a surface created from feature lines in the attached file. I can smooth the service in parts except for the area that I’ve hatched – as soon as I try to smooth that area the drawing freezes or I get a fatal error. Ideally I’d like this surface to smooth to a 3x3 grid.
The things I’ve tried:
- Exploding the feature lines to 3d polys and recreating them as feature lines before adding them back to the surface.
- Copying the feature lines to a new drawing and creating a new surface
- Completely deleting the feature lines and manually re-drawing them from scratch before adding them to a new surface.
- Adding the feature lines with different supplemental distance and mid-ordinate distances (typically I do 2’ and 0.01’ respectively)
- Smoothing the surface in sections instead of one global smoothing of the entire surface (it always fails when I get to the hatched area)
- Smoothing the surface with different grid dimensions.
- Emailing the drawing to coworkers to see if they can create the surface and smooth it on their computers
- Combinations of all of the above.

Which is better to do: contour smoothing or surface smoothing? I did a little test with a surface with no smoothing, a surface with contour smoothing set to medium, and a surface with surface smoothing. The results puzzled me. The contours in the surface with no smoothing matched the contours of the surface with surface smoothing. The profiile of the surface with no smoothing matched the profile of the surface with contour smoothing. Are these results typical? I was surprised that the contours of the surface with surface smoothing didn't look smoother. I was also surprised that the surface with no smoothing and the surface with contour smoothing generated the same profile.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was looking through the docs and all it says is that this eliminates tessellation. I understand that and that's what I'm looking to do. But the docs don't give any guidance on what these numbers are for.
I'm talking about the three options under the "Smoothing" group - "Horiz Deviation", "Weeding" & "Arc Inclusion" (I'm looking at the 2010 docs as that's all I could find at the moment).
When I make a loft, from a 12x12 square to an 8" circle (12" high for the sake of arguement), the corners of the square kind of loft up to the circle where it's corners would be...leaving a sharp break between the planes
Is there a way to make it look like the sheet metal lofted flange appears? So that the corners of the square drift to the quadrants of the circle, making a smooth transition?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just downloaded the cs4 demo for photoshop after reading about how it can paint on 3d objects. I imported an obj file I created in modo. In modo I hit tab to turn on smoothing. In photoshop I can't seem to find a way to do smoothing. I know that photoshop isn't a 3d program but I was wondering if it offers any kind of smoothing algorithm? I'd hate to have to save out my mesh at a high poly count to bring into PS to paint. Is this the only way or am I missing something?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need help with the brush tool in Photoshop CS3. All the brushes appear to be pixelated, and I'm unable to draw any smooth lines at all. Whatever I draw comes out edgy and rough.
On the other hand, the eraser tool still produces smooth lines. I tried fiddling with brush preferences, but nothing I do helps: I just can't draw smooth lines with the brush tool, although the smoothing option is turned on.
But,I couldn't figure out how to "paint back in detail" like it described, into the eyes and lips. It said something like "paint with a black brush over the blur mask to eliminate the blur in specific areas." I couldn't find a black brush; which brush is it talking about?
Also, I'd like to know how to apply this technique to just an area I've selected with the lasso tool, like her face.

The rounded corners are like this, too. I've tried using the blur tool to smooth it out but that doesn't seem to work here for whatever reason.

I've been unable to get this cropped shoulder smooth against the black ground; that's the model's hair in the upper right corner falling onto her collarbone. (I can't show the entire photo as it includes partial nudity). I selected it from a busy bright background with extraction. I figured I'd be able to sharpen it at the end, but that didn't work precisely. I've tried Unsharp Masking in Channels, heal & stamp tools, even using a black pencil, but this is still my best result.
I use Photoshop for just about everything. Lately I've been doing a lot of isometric pixel art. I have encountered a problem when trying to use the free transform tool and that is it automatically anti-alias when I click the commit button.
I do not want smooth lines. I just want the pixels, no matter how jagged they look. Is there a way to stop free transform from automatically smoothing the lines? Is there an option to turn off smoothing?
I recently acquired Photoshop to colorize old black & white images. While I'm quite familiar with colorization techniques, I need help with something before I get started. I scanned a lot of the images (from paper instead of photographs) I plan on using at fairly high dpis--I thought larger images allow for more manipulation--but find that nearly every second pixel has some kind of black spot on it.
I'm sure there's some technical term for this, though I'm unfamiliar with it. Anyway, does anyone know how to fix the pictures so they can be rendered more realistically? I've tried the blur tool for modest results but am looking for something better.
How to smooth a model without smoothing the UVs?The problem is that when I apply turbosmoth or meshsmooth to a model to get better and more smooth textures like AO, the UV are also smoothed and then they dont match the lowpoly version.
The oly workaround I found for now is to get the model into Mudbox, smooth there (Mudbox doesnt smooth UVs) and get it back to 3D Max. But would be better to control that in 3D Max and Mudbox doesnt smooth in the same way anyway
I also found a lot of UV problems when I try to render different UV tiles because Max only render the main one (0 to 1). There arent any scripts out there to automatize stuff like that and be able to render differents UVs tiles? Because right now what I have to do is change the UV to do a render to texture or split the models into UVs pieces wich is a pain and dont get the best results at all.
I still dont believe that they dont fixed things like that in 3D Max 2013 while even Mudbox works with UV tiles.

View 6 Replies View RelatedGIMP has great tools for creating smooth lines from tablet input:
These options allow for a great range of input raniging from just remoiving jiter to creating very smooth lines with a delayed pen stroke.
The only option I've found like this in PS is the "Smoothing" checkbox in the brush propeties box, but it has very little affect and can not be manupulated. Is there anything like this available in Photoshop, or as a plugin for Photoshop?
I have no problem using the skin smoothing tool with colour images. However, the tool does not appear to work when I want to use it with B&W images.
