3ds Max Modeling :: Reducing Polycount While Preserving The Rig
Apr 7, 2012
I have a hi-rez figure that I'd like to lower the polygons on. I was wondering if it's possible to reduce the polycount on the character without destroying the rig.
I read somewhere that Optimizer would work for this. I this true? Is there another way to do it or will I have to rerig it?
Also, is it possible to preserve morphs as well? I know some of the points change so I can understand if it's not.
EDIT: It appears it doesn't work right off the bat. Is there a simple way to update the bone envelopes to the new geometry or do I have to reskin the entire mesh manually? (Seeing this, I know morphs will no longer work."

Any way to make symmetric mesh edits, ie adding/removing edge loops, while preserving your UVs? I have unique UVs for each side of the model, and I don't want to have to delete half of the mode, apply a symmetry modifier, then offset half of the UVs every time I need to make an edit to the model.

I am upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on my present computer, I said yes to preserving the old presets. But how will this work on a new computer? And, in fact, all of my versions of Photoshop going back I can't recall how far have been upgrades. How is this handled with a new computer? I have the CS3, CS5 and CS6 installation disks. I am not sure about the older versions. So, two questions here: 1. How is the CS6 installation handled if all I've had for the past who-knows-how-long is upgrades. I started with one of the very first Photoshops. And 2.

I'm saving for web and want to preserve all metadata except camera info, but besides the camera info, it's not saving the description either. Is it right?
Actually, I only want to save copyright information, author, keywords and description, but there's not such option.

When I use the 'Copy with Basepoint' command from the clipboard and paste the results into another drawing, all of the grouped items become ungrouped.
Is there a way of preserving grouped geometry when copying from one drawing and pasting to another?

I have used a template in Photoshop CS2 to create a DVD/CD Cover and I have an issue saving the image for upload at the correct dimensions.
This is what I have - CD cover @ 4.75 x 4.75 inch with 300dpi. This gives me an image with a resolution of around 3000 x 3000 pixels.(approx)
There is no problem printing from PS as the dimensions in Inches is the default print size. The problem comes when I export the image as a JPEG ready for upload and sharing. It seems the pixel resolution becomes the default size settings. This will give the end users problems in printing at the correct size for their CD cases.
I, can get round this as my printer allows me to 'print at the original size' which defaults back to the size set in Inches but I don't think everyone has this option.
Is there any way to ensure that the end user will d/l or save the uploaded image at the correct size so that they will not have to do anything other than print it?
The last thing a want to do is make it a difficult thing for them to obtain.
FYI - I would like to keep the dpi resolution if possible as there is a lot going on and this might be lost if the quality is reduced.

I have a couple of logos that I need to "archive" and catalog in the following formats:
.tif
.eps
These logos were done in PSCS and are now in the .psd format - they contain a number of layers including a base transparent layer.
The question is can I preserve the transparency within the 2 above mentioned formats? If so how? I made a few attempts at it with each format but came up with a background color each time.

How can I preserve my colors so that when I export them to images, they are as close to the colors as I see them as when I view them in a browser?
Right now I'm using:
Adobe RGB 1998 for RGB Colorspaces (Preserve Embedded Profile)
Engine: Adobe ACE
Intent: Relative Colorimetric
[X] Use Blackpoint Compensation
[X] Use Dither (8bit/channel images)

I'm using Photoshop CS5.5, and I'd like to batch process a folder with thousands of images ordered in several deeper subfolders.
The problem is, that I'd like to do this with preserving subfolders order, as it's the most important part of my project.

Shift-dragging centers it, but I have multiple documents (pngs with transparency) of the same dimensions and layers in a variety of positions that need to be preserved (I'm composting some 3d renders). Is this possible?

I'm a new user of X4. I'm making a project using several transparent layers, with layer 1 set as background image. I then draw several images into the succeeding layers. My template is set at 480x270 pixels.
Is there any way to export my drawings with their original size and location preserved with respect to the background image? The thing is I need to recombine the images in the different layers later on (in a different program and project) and I need them to be in their right sizes and positions as when I created them in order to reconstruct the image accurately.

Because the inbuilt MPEG encoder lack descent contrast Im thinking of using another video/audio encoder. I then have a question about the audio. If I separate the audio from the video in the project, is the 5.1 information preserved in the wav file?

describe to me the process by which you would change the color of an object while preserving the gradients of that object? Attempting to do this on a picture of a machine but my efforts turn out "cartoony."

Exporting to H.264 while preserving your color correction. I have not found anything definitive that addresses this issue. I'm bringing it up here as I do a lot of web delivery in H.264 and am tired of the color/gamma shift.

I'm working in an Illustrator file that needs to use artwork that is in PDF form. I've been either placing the PDFs into the Illustrator file or opening the PDFs as Illustrator files. Either way, I'm getting a message that says "The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted: To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined."
As you'll see in the attached, what ends up happening are these strange looking white lines that occur around the artwork (you'll notice them most around the CD in the center.) Is there anyway around bringing the PDFs in without having them reinterpreted? I do not want to make them jpegs and then bring them in.

Illustrator CS5.5 on Mac: When I copy text from one Illustrator document and paste it in a different document, the text canges to Myriad (the deafult font). Is there a setting somewhere to preserve the formatting? Even pasting into an existing text style still changes the font.

There is a stark difference between how the images processed on my iMac look versus how they are seen on a PC. Image quality diminished significantly when viewed on PC. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing or something in how I export the images from Lightroom 4.4 as jpegs

We currently print using a flat bed ink jet printer CMYK++(fixative) capable of printing several images at one time. We create the file using PS then use bridge and contact sheet II to create the print ready document.
The issue is that contact sheet II makes you select a colour for the background of the document. If we chose white when we export as a PDF the printer interprets the white area as "coloured pixels" and prints our fixative ink over the entire background rather than under the pixel of the image.
I need to be able to use a contact sheet type solution but be able to preserve the background transparency to stop this from happening.

I've got a template file, which has my photo stored as Smart Object. There are some filters performed on it, and some groups of filters I select to match the image. It works great. However, the only caveat is that the EXIF data is stored from original image. Photoshop doesn't read the EXIF from the most recently imported file.

However, I have never been satisified, due to the amount of pixellation on the margins of lines, and with Xara, I am looking for an improvement.
Basically, I am using graphics programmes to animate lines onto a 'live' video background. I do that by preparing a blank green mask, and tracing, by means of a slightly lighter line, (which is still rendered invisible by the following 'chroma' process in video-editing), as a guide. The actual tracing out of route followed, and so-on is onto the green 'blank', in preparation for the usual 'green-screen' process, to follow in my video editing stage. The principle is well proven and produces authentic animation over a background which proceeds as normal video. (It is also possible over a still photograph). The raster used subsequently, is the AVCHD standard of 1920 x 1080, the animation is of clusters of from three to five frames per 'exposure' and the whole thing is rendered in mpg2 into a continuous video-clip, from which time it becomes 'video'.
However, each frame is required to be 'saved'. When I first tried 'Xara' I was chuffed that the most recent extensions to my ever-lengthening lines were so 'sharp', and that encouraged me to use a line of only 4 pixels width, but when the resulting animation frames were recalled for storage in preparation for the animation-proper, the lines had developed the usual pixellated 'steps-and-stairs' and pixels on both margins of the lines were in a no-man's land, being half-and-half green and a muddy half-white, (white being the line I have standarised on, for technical reasons of minimal 'bleeding' etc).
What I wish to preserve, is the crisp whiteness of the lines, and the finely pixellated line-margins I began with. I can, for example, broaden the line, but if I broaden it beyond 8px, or so, I am right 'back' where I was with 'the other graphics-programme'. I can, of course, double the size of the raster to 3840 x 2160, (and do, on occasions for static one-off shots), but there are excellent resource-hogging reasons, why I do not wish to do so for sequences of up-to 200 frames, at-a-time.
Am, I missing something somewhere, using a 'wrong' procedure, or simply asking too much of the software?

When I resize or crop a photo, it would be nice to be able to keep all the original information in the exif tag. Instead the tag appears empty. Is it possible to maintain the original, possibly with additional info indicating post-process?
Or, just the original, indicating camera and lens, aperture and exposure?

I want to be able to apply vector textures [for t-shirts for example] by knocking the texture shape out of the original shape. Now, say I have a logo with several layers, or a bunch of shapes together, and I want to apply ONE texture across the entire thing (as a knockout). What is the best way to go about this.
And as my question asks, how can I combine two objects into one shape without making them one color? Using the pathfinder of course. Aka, while still maintaining individual colors.

I need to export a large number of photos as jpegs (about 5000). I also need to preserve the original folder structure to burn them onto DVD (as the folder names say what the photos are whereas the filenames are meaningless as generated by the camera)
How do I do this - I am using the trial version of LR4 - Doing it individually for each folder one at a time is getting tedious.

I have a PSD file that has a couple layers that are shadows and highlights for t-shirt textures. Then I have other layers that are the colors of the shirts, so I can swap the color out and it looks like the appropriate t-shirt color with the shirt textures and shadows. My ultimate goal is to export the shirt textures with no color background and keeping it a transparent png. I want to use this transparent image on a website that has color behind it and can change the color using html Divs.
The issue is when I turn off the lower layer colors of the shirt the image is not trasnparent it is white. The multiply layers don't stay transparent. Is there a way to export the multiply layers as transparent? Is there a way to remake the layers as a raster image, rather than using the layer blending modes?

I'm trying to create a selection out of the square marquee tool with rounded corners. The only way I know how to do this is to set the feather to 5px or 10px or whatever. But when I try to fill this selection with a certain color (with the paint or pencil tool) I get a gradient. That is, instead of a uniform color all throughout the selection, it's almost clear near the edges and slowly becomes opaque as you move closer to the center of the selection. I do I create a square selection with rounded edges so that filling it creates an evenly opaque color?
