I have a few question about the autodesk material library. i'm using a plastic material and i'd like to add a transparency map. The problem is, the transparency option doesn't showup. And if i set the material to plastic (transparent) it doesn't showup too. what do i need to do?
Another question is, where can i find the arch&design library?
teaching design and one of the programs is 3ds-Max Design 2012. One of my students couldn't find her Autodesk Material Library in the slate material window. Also in the compact material window the default materials were empty. I looked everywhere and tried to set back to the program defaults but that didn't work. So what did my student do and where in the world did the Autodesk material library go?

It seems that no matter how I apply the material parameter to the family type object, type or instanced, the material does not change in the project when I apply any new material. I have opened up other countertops I have used from the Revit Default Casework Family and I can't seem to find a difference in the setup between mine and Revit. I wanted to use an instanced parameter so I can change the material per room where the object is used.

We have everything configured to our preferences but there is one thing that has been driving me batty. When editing a solid part I open the Style and Standard Editor. Down near the bottom under Realistic Appearance where there should be a ball with a shiney swatch there is a yellow triangle mocking me saying Autodesk Material Library is not available, also none of the bump maps are showing up on new or migrated files whether this is a related issue I am not sure of. All of the normal and custom textures show up just fine, and all the bump textures are in their correct folder in the correct place. I have tried switching the design data folder around with no success.

There are too many changes in selecting material colours in Inventor v2013. Any tips regarding selection of colours, as like selecting Stainless Steel colour.

At random points while editing my keyboard will become inactive within Smoke. I've mapped out a custom keyboard and it works well to a certain point. It's as if I've accidentally changed a setting that "turned off" all my key maps. I can't zoom, insert or even playback from the source monitor or timeline.

You can watch the video on the Smoke Learning Channel on Youtube URL....It will also be available on iTunes in a short time.Please note that this is one scenario where the sync locks will work. They also function when trimming a cut when all the cuts line up.

Whenever I do a couple of editing functions with smoke, all of a sudden things freeze up as I see the multi color spinning wheel appear on the Mac, thus causing me to do a force shut down.
Do I need to upgrade the Mac, operating software or?
I am doing some tests for an edit job I would like to use Smoke for tomorrow.
Some of the test footage appears to have been shot at 1440 x 1080 and appears squashed on my 1920x1080 sequence.
I see there is a resize option that can be applied to footage.
Does this resize effect have to be rendered before becoming visible?
The reason I ask is because in Avid when you work with this footage via AMA there is no need to perform a resize and therefore is very quick to start cutting with.
Having to resize and render a huge bin of rushes would take a long time and I assume would move the media into Smokes storage folder (creating new media and taking lots of space).
This leads to another general smoke question, can it do realtime effects. Again Avid can handle tons of these and makes for a speedy edit. If everything has to be rendered in Smoke before you can playback realtime then it makes me think that Smoke should be used as less of an everyday editor.
how can i do this in Smoke. I can't find any option to turn the capability on. is it available ? i want to be able to edit gmask in context , after the transform is applied to the gmask. can i do this ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have seen a number people new to smoke get confused when trying to edit mono audio source to a stereo track only to find the audio doesn't doesn't appear.
How about a preference that automatically splits the mono audio so that it edits to the stereo track?
If it was on by default it would definitely be of less confusion to new users
Or perhaps a dialogue box explaining why the edit did not work due to the differing audio properties.
Great work with getting smoke to where it is!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to cut out letters from plastic on a laser cutter. I use "no fill" and a hairline outline and it works fine. But occasionally I want to change a font to be "thicker" or have a thicker line but still maintain the hairline outline for cutting. I can get thicker lines on screen by using the contour tool but how to remove the fill and keep the hairline outline. To complicate matters, I need these letters to be joined together, so I also need to use the weld tool.

I've been shooting a lot of "alternative" stuff, much of which has included PVC and latex. Lighting it is tricky enough, but much of the items are wrinkled, and aren't amenable to being ironed--something about melting and causing a mess...
getting the smooth highlights back instead of the textures and wrinkles? I've used the smudge tool, which works OK---if the image is websized, but falls apart at print sizes. Cloning is always an option, but it's going to be a long and painful process.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've seen this type of effect used on photos, mostly for fashion ads, and how its done. Possibly, it has to do with lighting during the photo shoot itself. But it seems to me that there is also a significant deal of processing in Photoshop.
Mostly what interests me is that quality that retains a photographic look, while at the same time gives the image a somewhat plastic and unrealistic feel to it.
