I just installed 3ds Max 2012 and I have to say that I really like the update. I especially love the new viewport display features (speed, realism and NPR modes) and the NPR rendering modes in Quicksilver.
I'm also really starting to discover the power of iRay. Being a seasoned Maxwell user I regarded it with a bit of scepticism, but with the right settings iRay can yield quite impressive results.
My stack modes rendering plugins are grayed out since updating from cs3 to cs5. How do I get them back?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWith Quicksilver renderer, if I lower the value of shadow intensity in render settings, the shadows still appears total black as with the value 1.0.
However, this same parameter in viewport settings works fine with Nitrous.
why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.Â
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS6, and I just got a Windows 8 computer a couple days ago. I just now have realized that the Screen and Linear Dodge (Add) blending modes are not working at all. They have no effect on my layers. I know that the Overlay blending mode works... I haven't tested all of them.
I understand that others are having problems with Photoshop and Windows 8. Is this a related problem, or is it unrelated and is it something that needs to somehow be fixed?
Just curious what is the difference between Basic, Normal and Advanced OpenGL modes? I know Advanced method is more "GPU intensive" but how can I see the difference?
View 16 Replies View Relatedi'm an art student and have been for over 3 years now, i did a degreee in arts and technology , and they made us use Corel Painter most of the time , and a bit of photoshop as well...
so basically i'm used to painters tools , specially with the blending tools, where you have choice between smudge, blur, stomp, smear, blend...etc
I have tried to find similar tools in photoshop , but couldnt find anything close to it ( so far the water drop and the correction tool).
I have never personally ventured outside of RGB.
When, or why would you use index, CMYK, or lab color?
I understand it is more for editing raw photographs and not jpegs, and or other images?
i am working in cs6 and starting to frustrate more and more, tried everything and nothing seems to work. Layer blending modes just seems to stop working at one moment, or at certain layers, i dont know. I have two layers one on top of other, and when i set blending mode on top layer everything just goes white.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have used Photoshop for years, but never in the capacity. I'm trying to blend layers together and then have the ability to save the top layer with the effects as its own layer. I'm sure that is not too clear so I have attached a screen shot.
Basically, have a B/W raster as a layer. Then I placed a smart object from Adobe Illustrator (a bunch of line vectors) on top of the raster. I then used my layers panel with a Screen option and I get the effect that I want. Where the line crosses a light area on the background it becomes light, and where it crosses a dark area it becomes dark (See Screenshot). Now what I want to be able to do is save my line layer as PSD document and not have the background layer on there.
If I flatten the layers, I obviously get the background layer. If I turn off the background layer, then I loose my screen effect.
This may be an easy fix, or impossible. I'm not sure.
Does VideoStudio X5 or VideoStudio X5 Ultimate has blending modes & composite modes?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to code a site for a client that has several layers that are partially transparent with different blending modes on the fx options. Normally I'd export it as a solid image if the background repeated horizontally and could be done that way. Problem is that the design I am trying to code does not have a solid color background or a pattern, instead, it has an image.
I need to know how I can get all of these blending modes and into one static layer. When I merge the layers, it just removes the blending mode which causes it to look horrible.
Is there a way we can get like gradients of one layer mode to another. Or from normal to "overlay in a gradient fashion?"

View 4 Replies View Relatedi'm finding that while using smoke in CFX i'm suffering a lot from what appears to be massive lag with smoke either taking forever to change modes or sticking on one entirely. For example I will be editing points on a Gmask then go to click elsewhere like the render mask button. instead of toggling the button it tries to pop the last moved Gmask point to where I have clicked. and this persists ever after hitting undo and trying again. I am also finding similar things happening when moving nodes around the CFX schematic. URL...

What's wrong and how can I fix this so I can work in full-screen mode again? I am on a MacBook Pro using the latest version of Photoshop CS6 from Creative Cloud.
I have a problem with the blend modes. I created a logo and i want to use it on a web page. On the sample picture i have created a random logo to show where my problem lies. The logo has a sunburst behind it which has transparent effects on the outside. Also i have made a big dot behind the logo with a soft brush. I have used blend modes - hard light on the logo and overlay on the white brush.
Now the problem is that i want to flatten the logo and the brush. And keep the background separate from that. The background is a tiled image so it would be better to use it on a web page instead of one flat image. But when i flatten the logo and the brush, then the blend mode effects disappear. I cant use the regular opacity because i want the grain to be shown through the sunburst. Also i cant cut out the image because the sunburst is transparent from the edges. So is there any way to flatten the logo and brush separately from the background and still have the blend mode effects to be shown?

1.) Sometimes when I open a file I can't see it, BUT I can see the layers in the layers palette. It's like the file is open but not visible.
2.) Sometimes the screen modes don't work; when I switch modes, all the palettes disappear and never re-appear properly.

How to use blending modes. The immediate question is using an overlay layer for dodging and burning. Photoshop has the capability to add a new overlay layer then fill it with neutral light then do the dodging and burning on that layer rather than on a copy of the foundation layer. Does PS Pro have a similar capability?
