3ds Max :: Texture Filenames Missing From 3Ds Export?
Jul 23, 2012
I’m working with an external team of artists and they supply meshes to me in .3ds file format. They just upgraded to 3ds Max 2013, and now the materials defined in the .3ds files don’t seem to have textures associated with them. I can see using a binary diff on the file versions that the material names have also been contracted to just their first letters. I have found the material names elsewhere in the file, but not the texture filenames.
Has something changed in the .3ds exporter with Max 2013? The files are coming out significantly smaller, which is good, but without the textures in materials I can’t use them.
I have designed a movie clapboard as a logo for myself. When I export it as a JPG, my all my text is missing and my stroke lines look completely different than the original file.
Maya 2012: When I export to fbx all I get in the end result is the shape. No colors, no texture, nothing else. I've been through my two books and YouTube.
When I export an FBX file from 3DS Max it is using the full path to each texture. I would like it to either use a relative path or just export the name of each texture without any path. How can I do this?
Sent to Mudbox working fine and i can see all uvs and so on, however sent back to maya with UVS and textures giving me hard time, whatever i do it always send it to maya with black textures. I have 3 layers on normal,spec and diffue...
I'm looking for a plugin to import and export Unreal Texture Packages, or UTX files, as I am modding Unreal Tournament.
I looked, and I could not find a UTX plugin. I did find a VTF plugin a while back, so I know that people are making PDN plugins to work with the modding communities for games.
We are using Autocad 2012 and 2012LT in our office and with this version started using the built in feature of DWG to PDF. One issue we have come across is, if we create a pdf file and then need to recreate the same file we can not overwrite the existing file. We are forced to either give the new file a different name or go back and delete the existing file prior to creating the new one.
I know a file with the same attributes of an existing image cannot have the same filename and that duplicates will add '-2. But the images I'm importing are not already in a Lightroom catalog. I don't understand why Lightroom is adding '-2' to the end of each filename.
Anybody able to point me in the direction of a plug-in/software that will add the filenames to a batch of 200 images and then assimilate them into a template, ready for printing?
I use CS and can do this in Picture Package a few at a time but it is a little cumbersome. I am a school photographer.
I use smart fix to process multiple files in organizer. Smart fix creates a new version of each file with a filename with "_edited-1" added to the original filename. I then flatten version set, and tell Photoshop to delete the original files. Now I have the edited files, all with the "_edited-1" filename format. I want to retain the original picture filename. Outside of Photoshop, I can bulk rename the photos to get rid of the "_edited-1" additions to the filenames, but then Photoshop needs to rebuild the database. There must be a simpler way to edit all the photos and retain the original photo filenames. I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 and am inexperienced with the package.
I'm trying to move to a new computer (goign from an OS X system to a Windows 7 system), and I've discovered that one of the characters I've been using in some of my filenames is illegal in Windows. I need to change that character so these filenames are acceptable to Windows without losing the associations in LR (virtual copies, metadata, etc.). However, I can't seem to find a way o do this in LR. There are too many of them to do this one at a time, either renaming them individually in LR or using another utility to bulk rename and then reassociating the files individually in LR. Is there a solution to this I am missing?
Previous versions of Bridge offered the option to quickly and easily create a PDF contact sheet to send to customers to preview or select photos. The current Brdige CC redirects the user to a Photoshop option which is far less user friendly (no headers, page nmbers or footers easily created).Wonder why this was changed or deleted. I dearly miss this.Is there an alternative just as easy in CC?
For years I have exported Draw 4 files to CMX 5.0 to import into Ventura, with no problems.
I have just upgraded to Windows7 and whilst Ventura and Draw work fine in themselves, when I export to CMX and import into Ventura all the text is missing. Old CMX files are fine and even the new ones show the text in the preview thumbnail in Ventura.
I just created a simple poster (8.5 by 11 inches) and imported one small jpeg, and I added some text (each in their own layers). It looks nice in Gimp, but when I export as PDF, it's missing some of the text. I had to keep making the font size smaller before it eventually printed to the PDF.
I have a CMYK AI file with several objects. When I export to 1920x1080 JPG, PNG or PSD...some outlined text is not showing up but it's drop shadow is. Some objects that have transparency gradients are also missing. It is the same if I export to RGB or CMYK. I have to translate the AI first to RGB and then it works but it has never done this to me before. Il CS5.1, Mac OSX 10.7.5
There are no Lightroom plugins in the export dialog left column.
When I click the Plugin manager, LR tells med that the plugins are installed and working, but they do not show up in the export dialog. The actual plugin files are stored in the folder C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.2, the program folder.
I'm doing some HDR. Everything is shot raw (CR2, Canon) and processed in LR5. I sync all settings (WB, Lens Correction, etc.) needed. I export full size jpg (I've tried both exporting jpg and tiff) and everytime I do, the first shot of the series has either 1 extra pixel, or missing 1 pixel either on the long axis, or the short. Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. Since it is 1 pixel off, Neither CS6 or Photomatix will process all the shots. I've checked all the files, and they're all the same dimension when they start out 4176 x 2783. But after processing, the first pic will be 4176 x 2783 and the next 3 or 4 will be 4175 x 2783, or 4176 x 2784, etc...
I just upgraded to 5.2 and now I do not see the export button on the page when I complete the photo editing, I have to use the menu on top to access the export feature. Is there a switch somewhere to allow this to be turned on and off or was it just removed?
I'm a new Lightroom user and have just transferred over from Aperture. In Aperture when the original image was offline it was still possible to drag or export the high quality preview jpg out onto the desktop. Is this possible in some way within Lightroom?
I have a timeline of about 40 minutes long with several audio tracks and sounds, some mp3 from you tube and some recorded on the shooting day. everything sound just fine in premiere, I even exported one part of the timeline as a seperate movie and it was o.k. the problem is when I've import the hole track some of the audio tracks were missing/silent. it happend in 2 different projects.
I'm on windows 7 premiere cc update to latest version...
When I export a PDF from my InDesign doc I am missing letters "fi" and "ff", and some are appearing as a block x, in the eps files I have placed in the InDesign doc. I have tried several fixes such as turning off ligatures in the original eps and the InDesign doc. I also changed the setting in the PDF export window from subset font percent from 100% to 0%. But nothing fixes it and the error is still occurring?
Is there a way to have VSP3x retain the filenames of captured components? It seems to like renaming my videos from "Video XYZ" to "1110024-589211-import.mpg" I know it does this when I multi-trim - and is there a way to rename these so I can keep track of what is what?
how I can do a batch plot to PDF whilst appending some element to the end of the filename?
Using AutoCAD 2011's batch plot, or TrueView 2014's batch plot the default PDF filename when plotting to PDF appears to be:
<file_name>-<layout_name>.pdf
Which is okay. But I want to append to that the revision of the layout (C1, C2, etc.) which I currently store in a title block as a block attribute value. Any method for somehow pulling this out and including it after the filename such that I could end up with:
<file_name>-<layout_name>-<revision>.pdf
We're currently trying to transition to using the Sheet Set Manager, is the above any easier to achieve using that?
My AutoCAD Architecture 2011 program is missing the button to export to an earlier version of AutoCAD. I have seen this button on other computers at our office. I need to export some drawings to earlier versions without having to bind exrefs and do a 'save as' earlier version.
How I can get this button back? Does it have anything to do with DWG Trueview?Here are two screen shots, one with the button, and one without.
