i have this scene that has multiple tools that cross each other etc etc. So i would like to fade out the tools when there complete. I could do a visibility track but the problem is each tool has multiple objects, and i cant attached them because there rigged. I was wondering if there is a way to fade them out as a hole.
View 4 RepliesI have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).
; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)
[Code]....
However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?
I have a problem. When zooming, 3D shaded objects fade away (everything except 2D Wireframe) and it is almost impossible to continue work (see attachment no1). If I manage to draw something on such a faded object (eg, a circle on the side of the box), only part of the screen / object has normal visibility (see attachment no2). Re zooming again cause fading.

I am having a little trouble trying to add multiple fade to transparent gradients appear in a single image. Here are the steps I have done so far:
Create a new vector with the photo unlocked
Add a layer mask
use the black to white gradient, so the edge of the photo is completely translarent and as you move to the center, it slowly reveals the photo.
I used this technique I found online for one edge of the photo and it worked great, untill I tried the second gradient on the same photo, and the first one I did disappeared. I guess Photoshop only lets you have one.
The next thing I tried is to create another vector mask and create another gradient, but it did not work at all. Also, Photoshop only lets you have two vector masks per layer, so That wont do me much good if I need 4 gradients, each one fading to transparent around the 4 edges of the photo.
Any solution would be greatly appreciated. I plan to take the photo that has the fade to transparent gradients and copy it to another background image with some text.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jake
Imagine a layer containing 10 squares, each square is isolated (none are touching). I need a quick way to put each of those squares on its own layer. Is there something already built in, or any plugin or action?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have one layout. On that layout I want to have 2 viewports. I also have ssay block A and block B I want to insert.I would like Viewport1 to display block A and viewport 2 to display block B.
What happens to me is when I created Viewport 1 and inserted block A. I go on to create viewport 2. But viewport 2 displays only block A, which I cannon delete to insert block B.
can simple fade into slow motion or fade out of the effect ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have about 13 different 3D objects, each on their own layer, and I want them to be able to cast shadows from lights all on the same ground plane. I know the setup for an individual object but when I go to set it up for each one they keep generating their own ground plane and the end result is no where close to where I want them. It's vital for this project I'm working on and I can't find any guide for the 3D features in the extended edition that is free.

View 7 Replies View Relatedexpansion of the 3D toolset within PS CS4. It is *not* a 3D app, which is fine, but it does make texturing imported 3D objects considerably easier.

Now for my question...
I have imported 3 separate OBJ files as 3D layers. Is there any way to move all 3 objects on the canvas together? As it is, I can only move them independently which throws them out of registration with each other.
I have tried selecting all of the layers at once [shift-click] but the manipulation tools get nulled out. Same thing happens when I group the layers together. I am also not seeing any way to link the layers like you can with a pair of 2D layers.
[also... in order to get all three objects imported with the same scale and registration, I exported a pair of planes above and below each asset to create a bounding box.]
I'm trying to create an animation of a group of objects being assembled, then being placed in a box. once i've assembled each object, how can I move / rotate all objects simultaneously as if one complete object?
When I try the attach command, it removes all previous animation on each individual object.
I want to simulate coal flying off the end of a conveyor belt.Is there a way to give thousands of dynamic objects an initial velocity (going up the conveyor belt at 15 degrees off horizontal) then apply gravity to them as they pass through a plane (the end of the belt) ? Maybe apply gravity to those objects to pull them up the conveyor, then once they pass the plane the other (real) gravity takes over.What about just creating the dynamic objects with an initial vector and velocity right at the end of the conveyor belt? Sounds like some scripting would be involved there.Is there a better way?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to extract a vector displacement map out of three objects.
All three of them are on the same UV tile, with no overlap between each other.
All three of them have the same subdivision level and share the same Mudbox material.
I choose "Generate one map for all targets".
When hitting extract, Mudbox tells me that :
"Subdivision based map extraction is available only when the number of source and target meshes are the same".
Well its the case. With the same order in target and source models (A-B-C)
In Auto CAD 2007, if I want to extrude multiple objects, I can give reference length by pointing start and end(the obeject will extrude with positive value), but in 2012 I can’t use reference length. Sub-command “Direction” can use z-axis length only. How can I use like 2007?

Kind of like inflating/deflating a balloon with dots on the surface (the dots would get bigger/smaller).

View 5 Replies View RelatedAny macro like the "wOxxOm Curve Channel Mixer", that works for RGB colors? I am working on a project where I need to select multiple RGB objects that have all different (but specific) color values and edit just one of the values (eg. green) without affecting any of the others. I know I can use various effects and adjustments to do this, but I need the resulting color formula to be precise. This is because I am creating color charts and swatches, so the formula within each swatch needs to be exactly what its label says it is.
The CMYK channel mixer saved me hundreds of hours when I did a similar project in CMYK and prompted me to make a donation to the author at that time.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI am exporting a design for 3D printing, and it includes multiple objects. If I save each part as a separate STL file, and assemble them in my 3D printer software (Object), the alignment of different parts is lost.
If I save it as a single STL file all the objects are grouped, and I cannot select them individually to assign them different properties.
I am using Autocad 2012 student version, and it does not allow me to select any option at the moment of exporting the files.

I have a lot of polylines that are all over a drawing from an outside source. Unfortunately the only unique properties about them are:
AREA = .14 sq in
PERIMETER = 1-11/32"
Everything is on the same layer, color by layer and are at the same elevation.
Any way to select just these closed polylnes? I tried quickselect but the AREA option did not work (it wouldn't except just the .14 value), and there is no apparent PERIMETER value to select.
the issue is when i try to publish multiple dwg files which containing civil 3d objects including data ref to pdf it won't do it other whatever drawing is currently open.i kinda can see why. because the data ref reading is not programmed in when "invisibly" opening the cad files. xref are autocad native and it works.
so no warnings or anything. just publish the first one and told me it's done. i've seen this years ago when first started using civil 3d but then i just never complained here.
is there a solution for this? what i did before was obviously open each drawing. then publish, huge waste of time. making me hate my job because of repetative tasks. i almost always try to automate.

Is there a way (script possibly) to break multiple splines to individual spline objects? More specifically i want to find a quick way, when i have many splines (attached together) to make each spline (spline element) a separate spline (such as selecting it and detaching it). Unfortunately the "explode" command breaks each segment and not spline to an individual object, while selecting and detaching each one is not an option since i have to deal with hundreds or thousands of splines (produces by hair & fur).
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it at all a good idea to go about to skin multiple objects for your character?...or is it better to make it a single mesh?
if its practicable whats are the "things to do" to go about it in the right direction. ..instanced skin modifier? OR unique skin for each objects?
does it make any difference if i attach the objects? or keeping them separate as far as instanced skin modifier is concerned? (not making single mesh by welding vertices)
specifically speaking about the character i am working on ...it has:
a. head mesh
b. a scarf mesh
c. hand mesh (till their elbows)
d. body/ trenchcoat mesh
e. trousers
f. shoes mesh
g. shoelaces and eyehole rings mesh
NOTE:
i at least need the trenchcoat to be a seperate mesh as i want to apply APEX on it later. (the APEX tut on youtube indicates the trenchcoat is a seperate mesh.)
PROBLEM:
i tried to use a instanced skin modifier, however the scarf head and trenchcoat and the head where they should be together gets messed up when i check with some basic check poses.
