I am trying to figure out how to use volume lighting. I am using a free spot and have added volume lighting but every time I render, I just get a dark shadow coming from the light. The surface it is aimed at lights up, but what would be the 'fog' area just projects as a shadow with hard edges in the shape of a beam of light. I've spent hours trying different settings and can't figure it out.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to generate a volume report for a bounded volume surface?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working with TIN surfaces, doing cut/fill comparisons for a surface mine.
My volume surface statistics show a cut volume of 5167.22 cy and fill volume of 8456.18 cy.
The sample line group volume report show cumulative cut of 5527.67 cy and fill of 8465.56 cy.
What could be some causes of this disparity. All reference surfaces are built from points and use a non-destructive boundary.
I've read a few threads on this way back but cannot locate them. I have two surfaces and create a volume surface and it reported the volume as 493 cy. I then ran some sample lines at 25 foot interval and the total volume is reported as 964 cy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to use it as my primary hydrologic and hydraulic modeler. It only makes sense. Well, I got the program to work and had things linked in and was able to route a storm through the network. But when I routed the storms, I had to model double the storage that i expected.
So I went back to the program I'm familiar with - Pondpack by Benltey - and designed the same system I routed in SSA in that program - and got the storage volume that I would expect for a site of this size - about 2 acres.
Is there possibly a setting that I'm missing that makes my outlet structures route slower or less than they should? Or is there some other reason that a system would give this kind of inflated need for storage?
I have an issue with using Bounded Volume or Adding a Boundary to Volume Surface things so bad... = incorrect volumes.. sometimes extremely incorrect.. I understand that the surface rectangle when a boundary is added but this could be horrible if not checked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm no longer able to control the PP (monitor) volume using my computer volume controls. I've always controlled the monitor volume using my computer volume levels, but starting today, that has changed.
The volume is just playing at the level recorded with no way for me to turn down or up.I performed a disc repair and that didn't solve the problem.
plugin link needed for 3d volume in cs5.1 or what ever it takes to get this going. I have a new video card,so that isn't the problem. It was not included in the cs5.1 version.

I tried shift click on the first clip and then the same on the last one to group them all. They group but I can't change the volume for all of it. Do I have to change volume separately on each clip?
If so, is there an easier way other than dragging the little markers up and down when I'm on the volume timeline?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just started using LR 3.5, I've used a 30 day trial and read lots of tutorials before installing so I have a fair idea of how it works.
My problem is that I have several thousand images on DVD. I've started to import them into LR but once the DVD is taken out LR does not remember the volume name of the DVD, so if I am looking for a picture I am unable to see which DVD is it on, just that it is on my D:/ drive.
I have not had this problem when using an old version of Photoshop Elements or a free cataloging software that I have used.So, is there a way to tell LR to record the volume name without using a work around such as adding keywords when importing?
I use filters from time to time, and some other little handy things but never have i been able to achieve lighting like this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently use VSP X4 and would like you to explain the tool(s) available to guarantee a good audio balance.
If we consider the 3 types of audio - the "Feature" audio, the "Ambience" audio and the "Effect" audio (like music or narration), how can I be sure they are as relevant & accurate to each other as possible?
An example.
I record someone talking on video, VSP assumes a 100 volume level for starters. I add a background music track and again it assumes a 100 volume level. Due to the nature of the MP3 or WAV file it is always louder so I reduce the volume however, sometimes when I produce a final DVD or video file, I wish I had have lowered the music track further or increased the person talking volume because the music has overpowered a bit much.
When I select Sound Mixer; Attribute; and hover over the clip volume meter, I notice 40% is displayed.
Q1/ Is this only using 40% worth of the original volume level?
Q2/ What measures can I use in VSP x4 so that when a DVD is eventually played, there isn't a need to crank up the TV volume to hear good audio levels which then in turn introduces audio "noise"
Q3/ I notice the audio meter is coloured and I suspect that touching the red signals mean distortion. How can I use this for overall best effect?
Q4/ Should I be mixing audio levels using the "-36 to +12" slider or the clip volume in Q1?
I intend using tie-mics soon and I expect all audios I throw at my projects will need a careful balance
I am trying to understand how volume editing works. When I edit the volume, if I the volume slider control in attributes, it move the blue volume line up and down. If I edit in the timeline, if moves the brown line up and down. What is the difference in the blue and brown lines? When I play my projects, sometimes the blue lines seems to be setting the audio level and sometimes the brown line seems to be setting it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAlthough I have used Ulead VideoStudio occasionally over a few years, with moderate success (as I am a complete beginner at video editing), one problem has occurred quite often, and I have not been able to find out how to correct it.
It is this: when I burn a DVD, then put the DVD into a DVD player attached to a TV set, the volume - set at a comfortable listening level on the TV ( in one case, the level is defined at 40) - is very uncomfortably loud, so much so that the TV volume needs to be reduced to 15-20 before it is tolerable.
Is there any way of controlling the volume during the DVD burn?
I found a post here that says the best way to increase the volume in a video is to normalize all clips individually. I tried that but for some reason my video would get all buggy with I split the clips into video and audio and then normalized the audio.
Buggy in the sense that at playback it would just stop as if stuck and wouldn't play. Then I tried creating a media file despite the fact but it would not do so.
Fast forward I am out of time for a project so I went to every clip and changed the audio percentage instead.
In sum, my question is, is there a way to increase the volume for the whole video before or after the mp4 output is created? Somehow the overall volume doesn't seem loud enough.
I have recently been burning my videos to Blu Ray disks using VS Ultimate X6. Once I have rendered my video project I select the "burn to disk" option and create chapter menus etc and apply a music soundtrack to the menu. I generally create a BDMV file so I can store a back up copy on my media centre. I then build and burn to Blu Ray disk using ImgBurn. All works like a treat however when I play the disk the menu audio is way too loud such that on one occasion it has overloaded my sound system and caused auto shut down. Is there any way to adjust / reduce the volume of the menu audio or normalise it to the rest of the audio on the disk. I have not had any similar issues in the past creating an .ISO file and then burning the DVD.

With Inventor 2013 , user can view iProperties > Physical > Volume. After UPDATE is clicked, the application seems to recalucate and display mass information. How do I accomplish this task with API? I tried looping through all Occurrence objects, then access MassProperties.Volume, but the numbers do not match what I got from the Inventor application. The API seems to give me the Volume before the model construction (add parts, extrusions etc.) I need volumes after the final assembly.

Am rendering it with mental ray, and with the Volume Light deactivated, it takes about 30 seconds to render the whole frame. When activating it rendering less then 1/4th of the frame takes 4:30 minutes.
Now this is not gonna work well when I'm gonna render a movieclip, so I'm gonna ask the following: Is there a good, fast alternative for that volume light?
