Is there a why of applying say a "Xtransform" onto an object, say like a ball. rotate the ball inside the Xtransform while keeping the transform gizmo locked in place.
I am referring to in an animation, not a one time thing.
In 3DS MAX 2011 my transform gizmo jumps to the origin every time I go into sub-object mode making it very difficult to edit. I have been through the help file looking for fixes without success. I have major deadlines to meet this week and this is severely hampering progress. How to reset the gizmo? When I pick an object the gizmo is in its proper location, it's only when I go to sub-object mode that it leaps away to the origin.

I am trying to map using UVW Map and I am not able to move or spin the Gizmo to aline the map to the correct side.
I accidentally changed its position relative to the object being edited.
P.S I found the hierarchy panel to the right. does it have something to do with this? (I thought i remembered it from a tutorial i used a while ago...)
I fixed it with the hierarchy panel. I clicked pivot in the panel, then affect object only, then center to pivot. this makes the the object stick to the gizmo, bringing it back to default setting (at least im 99% sure that was default.) I thought i had been on the right track.
The transform gizmo is visible in the modeling vieworts and function normally, however if I go into the UV editor and select a sub-object, there is no gizmo. I can select sub-objects, and move them, but there is no gizmo to use to move stuff accurately.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy main gizmo (move, scale, rotate) is vanishing from the scene and I am unable to execute simple move/rotate/scale actions. The gizmo will reappear if I shift the viewing angle in the viewport. However this is getting frustrating because I might be viewing at the angle I need to execute a move/rotate/scale, but I can't and have to shift viewing angle to bring back the gizmo.
Also at present I am unable to view vertices when in sub-object mode (Edit Poly). I don't know if I accidentally triggered something or what, but the vertices suddenly disappeared and all I can see is the lines for the edged faces (not the vertices). Oddly enough, I am able to see the last vertice that I was interacting with, but cannot click or view any other vertices of the object.
I am using 3ds Max 2009, and am starting to get a grasp of UVW unwrapping, however, for some odd reason the transform gizmo is hidden in the Edit UVW window, and I can't figure out how to unhide it. I tried pressing X, I tried pressing a bunch of other keys to see if maybe I accidently pressed a hotkey.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm rotating my object using the hotkey combo alt-middle mouse button to view my object as I work. The problem is that the object is not rotating at the gizmo. It makes my workflow turn into a workless flow because it is rotating at the object origin instead.
I'm fairly new to Max and not completely comfortable with all the tools yet.

I am having a problem with my create and move tools. It has just started happening that every time I create an object it automatically is created at the origin. I am unable to move any of the objects i am creating from this position. I can rotate them and scale them but just cant move them. I have checked everything i can think of, they aren't locked or on a locked layer. I converted them to an editable mesh and could move them like this but the gizmo remains stuck at the origin.
Probably something really simple, just never came across it before.
1. How do I make the angle of the Gizmo appear when I'm rotating the gizmo plane with 'e'?
2. Also, how do I rotate the gizmo itself, so that i can rotate it in any ambiguous axis as well if I wanted to.
For example, let's say I'm slicing a hollowed box usnig Shell modifier. I want to cut the box diagonally. I make the slicing plane vertical using x rotatin axis (red) at perfect 90 degrees (this is why I want to see the angle displacement when rotating a gizmo), then becaue I want to cut it vertically, I rotate the plane on z rotation axis (blue) 45 degrees. Now, I want this cut to be slanted. That means I have to change BOTH x and y axis with equal amount to achieve symmetrical cut I want. ("5 snaps of rotating the slicing plane on x axis and y axis" something like this)
What I want is change the orientation of the gizmo itself so that x or y rotation axis becomes the angle I want the box cut to be slanted at.
3. I've been using 3ds max for rendering most of the time, and didn't really have time to ask myself, why is it such a pain in the a** to get the correct effect I want from max? Viewport and renderd product doesn't match at all for me. Rendering should be just a way of making the viewport image much prettier, not turning garbage into an artwork. Because of the difference between the viewport and renderd image, I constantly have to do test render at 320x240 to see how it looks.
When I say the two doesn't match, it includes but not limited to:
-Lighting Both daylighting system and artificial lights(photometric/standard)
-Intensity
-Shadow casting accuracy
-Material
Scale mismatch of rendering and viewport.
-Color
-I'm guessing it may be because of the lighting that the colors are very off.
-Unexpected glow on my model from other surrounding objects.
Sketchup or Rhino shows vaguely how it's going to look when it's rendered, just poor quality. Why is it so not intuitive in max?

I'm using 3D Max Design. I am unable to move an object on the Z axis of the gizmo. When I attempt to do so, a yellow line follows the path of my drag. I can move an object up and down only if I drag by all 3 axis.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if it is possible to move/focus the manipulator gizmos in Maya.
If I for example am working on a tall plank and want to align the bottom part with something I'd zoom in to be more precise, but since the manipulator is stuck in the middle of the plank I have to zoom out anyway and find a spot where I'm fairly zoomed in but still can see the manipulator.. If there is a way to make the manipulator follow on the screen when i zoom in (without altering the pivot point) I'd be able to work so much easier.I am of course talking about all the manipulators (move, rotate and scale).

Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu. A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.
Another annoying difference between Max 9 and 2012: I have to select the Freeform Gizmo for every instance of an Unwrap UVW editor. It seems the new default is Move Mode and in Max 2012 there is no memory of the last selected state. Ug!
The 'Save Current Settings as Default' is not useful.
Any ini setting which will set the Freeform Gizmo to the default?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Photoshop cs6. I purchased a template for magazine advertising purposes. The images have been taken out but there are custom designed objects (masked shapes) where I am supposed to place my images. When I attempt to place a photo into one of the shapes, using the Place Command, it does not work.
How can I place an image into one of the objects?
I am using Photoshop CS6. I have a question about Photoshop command Place.(File- Place) . Here are some pictures below. It shows the problem.
I opened the PSD file that has a green circle(picture 1) and using Place command to import other PSD file that has a red circle(picture2). Those 2 PSD files are same size, same canvas size, 1024x1024. So it should place the red circle precisely on the green circle, but as you can see, if I import the red circle PSD into Green circle PSD, Place command won't place the red circle pensively on the green circle. There is a gap between those 2 circles.(Picture3) It's really frustrating, because I have to move the red circle layer manually to place it just onto the green circle.
This command "Place" isn't reliable, so usually I don't use this command, and use Duplicate layer or group to import contents of other PSD, but if Place command can import other PSD file without this gap problem, I will use it because it's much faster than duplicating.
Do you know why and how to place those 2 files without the gap? Is it a glitch? I should not use Place command to import other PSD file?
I cut and paste in place from a layer to an other and its not in the right place. it seems new since CS6
I have multiple artworks on my file but i could do it since then. do you now how to not talke care of it ?
I had PS CS6 since it came out, and it was steady as a rock. Ever since I've moved to PS CC, it locks up about every 30-60 minutes. It doesn't crash, just freezes. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and start the task manager and kill the application there to start over.
I'm running windows 7 on the same machine that had CS6 on it, and I'm not doing anything different than I used to do with CS6. I've applied all the patches that are available in CC.
I have a 32 bit PC that I recently upgraded. I put in the most amount of RAM memory I could and upgraded the system from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate.Yesterday I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 and have suddenly been having problems with the system locking up on me in the middle of a project.

Is there a way to lock the height of the panels in CS4?
I like to have my navigator panel small and at the top with my History underneath and then my layers Panel the largest under that.
However, the sizes keep getting defaulted back and so it ends up the layer panel really small and the navigator panel bigger. This becomes 'pane' (sorry about the pun) having to keep stretching them out to how I want them?
I use the Pattern Overlay feature alot, but I have a problem.. When I add a pattern I have no problems, but if I want to rotate the layer that has the pattern overlay on it the image rotates, but the pattern overlay does not thus messing up the rotated image..

I always do. It irritates me to no end when i'm moving about in a layout and accidently click into model space and screw up a viewport that is not locked down.
