is there a way to give a thickness to a box with an opacity map applied?
I need a small thickness in the parts that are cutout from the opacity map. I saw someone in the cgarchitect forum talking about a thickness shader in mental ray but I don't have a clue where or how to use it?
It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.
In the animation I am working on, I need an object to instantly go from 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is, even if you use the opacity of the layer as a keyframe, the object will not instanlty vanish, even if it is only on for the timeruler for a quick amount of time.
I need a tool that will drop from 100% opacity to 0% instantly.
How to draw a line in Corel Draw which would have width=7 on its beginning and that would gradually become thinner, until it finishes with width = 1.
For example:
This line, just without the heart:

Or this one (the one below):

How can I do this with curvy or with straight line?
How can I set the transparency of the material based on it's thickness? For example, I want to make a box with a few holes (some of them going through to the other side, others only going halfway, or anywhere in between). How can I make it so that "full thickness" shows in black, complete holes (there is no material) show in white, partial holes show in greyscale (going towards black or white, depending on how deep the hole is)? Or it can be the other way around, with full thickness in white and holes in black...doesn't matter which it is.

PROBLEM:
When I import to Toonboom animation the image files Are in large scale and when shrunk down the match the body the heads lines are thinner than the body's line thickness.
Question:
Is there a way to import the image or scale it down prior to importing so as to keep the same line thickness?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to know if there is a way I can vary the thickness of a paintbrush line in Photoshop without having a tablet. I've done it before in Freehand by toggling the number keys, and I'm hoping that there is a similar way to do it in Adobe programs.
Anybody have any clue or should I just go ahead and invest in a tablet? I've got a lot of control with a mouse so accuracy isn't too much of an issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm making a graphic work (it's for my kid's yearbook), and I'm struggling to achieve an effect.
Here's the deal:
The attached file is an image in which I try to represent the text and graphics as if they were painted in a wood plank. I'm pleased with the effect on the surface of the plank, but I wanted to give the plank some thickness, to make it seem more like a 3d plank. That thickness effect is what has been tormenting me.

So... I have a Bamboo Splash pen tablet and I have GIMP 2.8.4 on a Windows XP computer.
I was messing with the dynamics as much as possible, but I encountered an issue: it only adjusts opacity with pressure, not line thickness
I used Photoshop before and it allowed me to keep the opacity at 100% and change the thickness of the line with pressure (the way I prefer it)
Is it possible to get the line thickness down of the calligraphic and/or pressure tools in artistic media? The minimum thickness seems to be .762mm (2.16 pt or 0.03"). I use a Wacom Intuos 3.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are currently in the transition to Annotative Annotation (Dims, Text, etc.).
One obstacle that i have not been able to overcome are graphical elements where I need their thickness to adjust to the viewport scale. Graphic elements like (MatchLines, Property Lines, Limit of Work and Set Backs) these all have thickness to display prominently in our drawings.
Currently we are making duplicate copies of these lines and adjusting thier thickness but this defeats the purpose of having annotative lables etc.
I would like an annotative line with a thickness.
Ex. a 12" thick line thru a vport with 1/8" scale will print at 1/8" but the same line thru a vport at 1/16" will print at 1/16".
We would like the the line to maintain it's printed thickness (1/8") no matter the vport scale.
I have tried using the Line Width Display but that just makes a mess...obstructs the dwg when zoomed out, rounds the end of dashes etc.
I am not sure how to change this, but I am adding polylines and they are coming in with a "Thickness" of 4" in the properties palette (7th option in General area of properties). The Global width is set to 0 and it shows correctly in a 2d plan view, but a 4" thickness if I do a 3dorbit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm modeling un hold house and one of the exterior walls have variable thickness.
I don´t need two walls with different thicknesses but just one that is changing is own thickness along his development.
I'm trying to use a formula in a family that requires the host wall thickness.
I've setup an instance reporting parameter (dimensioned to the host wall faces) - which works fine in reporting the correct value.
But when I try to use that variable in a formula, I keep getting the error:
"Instance Parameters can't be used in Type Parameter formulas."
Is there a way of getting the reported dimension as a Type rather than an Instance - or is there another work around ?
how to create a floor or structural slab that is both sloped AND has a variable thickness?
I can do either, but not both. Thinking that I may need to create a generic mass.
I basically projected honeycomb pattern on to the skin of the addition on the existing building from CAD, then god ALOT of splines.It was very laggy and slow, but I got both the splines and the skin imported in max.
I was trying to render it, but it kept giving me an error message. I can't even do preview of this thing because as soon as i check the 'view in the viewport' checkbox, it gives me the exact same message and closes max.I have to render this with some thickness... AND bunch of other stuff together within the same render.The file size is 17mb, and it has one layer for the skin another layer for the entire splines.
Is there is any way of customizing the thickness of edges. I want to customize this... I am using Autodesk v2012
