I have 3d max 2011.How do I get rid of showing the tris in a quad. Example: I make a plane, and when I render it, it shows the line where the triangle is. Instead of a smooth surface, it is blocky...
I noticed that when I made the model a mesh in the viewport and render it will come out showing the triangles even if it is a quad.Then I made it a poly and only in the render will it show the triangles.
I'm building a duel quad core for photoshop and premire editing. My question is about a scratch disk. Will I see better speed if I get a 74 gig Rapton WD for the scratch drive?
I have a Sata 160 as the OS and program drive and three 320 gig Sata WDs as storage drives. I was thinking af the Raptor as a scratch. And is anyone out there using Photoshop with a quad or dual quads?
I'm looking purchase a Dell Precision - this one to be precise:
Dell Precision
With the specs below:
Vista® Business x64
Intel Xeon E5440 with riser (2.83GHz,1333FSB,2x6MB,Quad Core
ATI FireGL V7700
2 x 146G,(15,000rpm) SAS Hard Drives (one for a scratch drive) - I have an SCSI (SAS?) drive in work and it seems fast ([I]noisy as hell though![/I])
16GB, 667MHz, ECC Memory (8x2GB)
CS4 Master collection - educational
I'm pretty clueless about Processors and Graphics cards etc, (I just picked the one I could afford)so Quad core, dual core, more than one processor?
Would the 15,000rpm SAS be better than 10,000 sata?
how to assign the right mouse button (or any mouse button for that matter) to a Quad Shortcut. The software doesn't seem to detect any mouse button clicks in the same manner that it detects say the shift button.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to be able reassign the hotkeys around in Max anymore (no matter how hard I try).I was able to create a Quad for Shift+Z, but when I try it reassigning the same Quad or a new one on Shift+X or any other letter, it doesn't work for some reason. I tried at this point on ALL the combos, and it seems like Max actively refuses to assign anything to any quad menu.
It seems like after assigning my first new Quad, it doesn't want to do anymore changes

To add a command to a quad set:
1. Choose Customize menu Customize User Interface Quads tab.
2. Choose the quad set you want to edit from the upper-right drop-down list. If you want to change the name of the quad set, click Rename and enter a new name in the Rename Quad Set dialog.
3. Select the quadrant where you want to place the command. You can edit the name of the quadrant by changing the text in the Label area.
4. Choose the appropriate Group and Category from the respective drop-down lists.
5. Choose a command from the action list and drag it into the Quad Menu window. Use the same procedure to add menus and separators to your quad set.There is no clue about how to make a sub menu with commands inside like the one in the picture.

Im going on a "lads holiday" in 2 weeks and i have been given the job to create tshirts for the group. I used a shield design base from a video game and i am now creating new silhouettes for the different sections of the shield to reflect the holiday. Ive been trying to make a quad bike silhouette but every time i do it it comes out so badly that you cannot tell what it is actually meant to be.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for the rules Maya split quad into triangles, and found that I can use the "Quad Split" option under mesh controls to change the way Maya split quads. There are three options: left, right, and best shape.
The left and right options are easy to understand, but how about "best shape"?how exactly Maya split a quad if I chose "best shape"?
I used to think that Maya would choose the shortest diagonal, but recently I've found some exceptions (see attachment, the quad in the red rectangle).
I'm after a plugin similar to Evans effects but one that will allow me to fit a shape to an area on the image. I've tried Evan's quad plugin but you get a separate window so trying to fit the perspective is almost impossible and everytime I try I end up getting curves in the picture. What I want is to modify the perspective on the actual image and not have to deal with the image producing curves. As an example here's what I'm after (it was done for me in photoshop by a friend for a cabinet I'm working on), which I presume has an effect to do this easily:

Between the two processors below, which would you recommend for a system with Vista 64bit and CS4:
Quad Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5420 (2.50GHz,2X6M L2,1333)
or
Intel® Corei7-920 Processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
I have read some potential instabilities with the i7 processor, CS4, Vista 64 bit. But maybe this is old info and this processor is fine.
I am thinking of upgrading my PC, but only if the dual-core and quad-core machines will run Photoshop and Lightroom faster than a single core machine (which I have now). Does anyone know if Adobe has upgraded their software (CS3 and Lightroom) to take advantage of the multi-threading that's possible with multi-core PCs?
View 6 Replies View Relatedeven in an empty scene my framerate in the quad viewport is about 7, 8 but in single view its 30-40..
I'm a little unsure if it was low like that before and I just realized now or sth. has changed. (Guess it has not been so slow as its really annoying) Using latest NVidia drivers and a 3DConnexion Navigator with 3DS Max 2013.
I previously used to work on a x86 xp with version cs2 of photoshop and never had any problems. Recently upgraded to x64 xp and installed cs3 trial.
The abnormal behavior is when ever u want to style a layer or want to select any preset gradient, shape whatever, the pallets that hold the previews have same thumbnail preview for all the items in the category. For example in the default gradient pallet the 1st item u see is the one that goes from white to black. That gradient preview thumbnail is repeated on all the items in the pallet. when I click anyone, the preview of that particular item changes to random gradient, same for shape / color etc.
So i installed Cs4 trial which i thought had better support for 64bti system but same happens on that aswell.
Also while editing text it causes the text to deform into weird shape sometimes.
I havent tried installing cs2 back to see what happens cause i wanted to upgrade to cs3 or above.
I'm using CS5, and for some unknown reason a few weeks ago a line started appearing around elements in my photoshop files - whenever I click on any layer in a .ps document, the perimeter of that layer is outlined. I figured out that I can type Command+H to make it disappear, but it only happens for that moment. The next moment when I click on another layer, the outline appears again, and it keeps appearing for any layer I clicked on (including the one I had just previously high Command+H for).
View 1 Replies View RelatedAlmost a month ago I purchased Photoshop CS6 for Windows from isoftware.co.uk (in thr UK) and received an Adobe Licence Reference and a Product Serial Number. I downloaded the trial from the Adobe site and chose to immediately activate it with the Product Serial Number. All seemed to go through fine but when I now check the Adobe 'Myaccount' it does not show that the product is registered to me. What do I need to do to reactivate the product and ensure that Adobe acknowledge it as registerd to me?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop, as an application, opens fine. The toolbars and sidebars all show up, but when I open a file (i.e. a JPEG, PSD, etc) the layer shows up on the sidebar, but the window of the image never opens. To add to the issue, there is no error message, thus Tech Support was not useful at all.

, i recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS5 but I appear to have lost all my downloaded fonts from the CS4 version of the software, when I had CS4 and wanted to add new fonts I just included them into my mico word and for some reason they popped into Photoshop also, I done this with several fonts I downloaded and used often in CS4,
Â
I thought as they where in micro word then they would not be replaced when updating CS4 to CS5, but they do not appear, i have looked in the woord fonts and they are still avalible to use there, but dont appear in the list of fonts for CS5, is CS5 set up a little different, like to i need to copy the fonts over into a file that resides in CS5
I am having the following problem, Every time that I am trying to create a text, appears as this image below and the text does not stay there, nor I can modify it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS6 and have everything running as usual. I make a new file, normal size of my art and everything, but the canvas (background) does not show up.
I also have navigator open since I use full screen. So as I draw strokes, I see them appearing in the navigator, but I cannot see the canvas. All I see is the color of grey. Although the canvas is certainly there, since I can make visible strokes, it seems as if it were transparent, except I hadn't done anything with the image to start.
Apart form the many apparent issues with AAM and my solution of uninstalling all app and using cleaner tool, I have only been able to reinstall my apps via installing trial and licensing with CC ID I still cannot update any of my installed apps all fail to update.

However my specific quetsion here is, would it be expected the 3D men to show (having read many strins on this) with the following graphics card;
NVIDIA GeForce GS driver version 301.42, 512 MB, directx support 9.0cOS windows XP, 32 bit SP3
Â
The 3d menu does not show though PS recognises the graphics card and I have checked the use graphics card.I tried installing on a laptop with windows vista 32 bit with Upto 358MB Mobile Intel Graphic media accelerator X3100, this shows the 3D menu but all the actions are greyed out.
Â
I have tried to install on an HP laptop windows 8, with intel (R) hd graphics, though AAM doesn't work here either, so using download assistant to try and download PS trial and license wit CC ID, only to have communication error 100 check your internet connection, though I know I am connected to the inernet.
Â
Is the 3D menu likely to work on this laptop? if I can get it downloaded.
From the discussions I see this may be a licensing issue, I waited 45 mins on phone support (from NZ) yesterday and finally gave up, any feedback would be appeciated, I think adobe really needs to address the obvious AAM problems or the CC is only becoming a very frutrating experience I am only using it to learn new skills, not learning much with all the downtime trying to fix problems though. I would hate to be trying to meet deadlines in a real business.
