3ds Max :: Portion Of Building Covered In Metal Panels
May 22, 2012
This will be laughably simple for most readers, but I'm stuck and am at a loss.
I have a portion of my building in max that needs to be covered in metal panels. I'm good with creating a material to represent this. What I cannot find in ANY of materials is how to adjust the material's placement on each face so that I can make sure they align.
Currently the seams "jump" as they turn the corners, rather than wrapping continuously around. Way back when I took classes in this prog at one point we were able to select a specific FACE of a cube and then shift the material around to align the seams correctly (ie: without creating a UVW unwrap).
The "help" system in max acts as if this isn't even possible. Is my only option really to have to unwrap the textures, use photoshop to paint panels, and then reapply? Seriously?

I created a curtain panel family and loaded it into my project where I had created a mass and divided the surface, and changed the panels to be my curtain panel family i created. The mass has a curve that I want the panel to be on the inside of, but the panel is always placed on the outside. File is attached. So on the smaller curve on the north side of my building, the panels are placed on the inside of the building instead of the outside. How can I place the panels on the outside of the building along the curve?

I dunno whether there is a filter in the Photoshop that could do this covered-eye-revealing process in one click. Anyway do we have to create the eye?

Should I have installed 32 bit photoshop CS5? Recently upgraded my old (32 bit) mac pro to OS 10.7.5 Lion. Then upgraded Lightroom from version 2 to version 3. And finally upgraded from Photoshop CS 3 to CS 5. Why do droplets of Photoshop actions have a NO symbol over them, and are unable to work as a preset in Lightroom?

I have a box with text in it. I wish to have hatching in the box, but not have it interfere with the text. Can I make the text an object or a boundary where it will be recognized as an island and not be hatched over?
The attached file (NP-1a.dwg) has text in a box with hatching. I don't want the hatching over the lettering.
I'm using AutoCAD-LT either 2006 or 2009.

while importing photos in Lightroom 4 they all are covered with a green layer even on the histogram. Could that have something to do with my configurations? Working with windows 7 prof.

I've always layout my floor plans three dimensional with the tools pallets commands such as walls, rails, door, windows & ect. I always have my walls pre-hatched with the solid pattern which is really effective to the floor plan. Normally when I put windows in the wall the window is clearly shown without the hatch in the wall but for some reason my wall's hatch started covering the windows and I can't seem to solve this problem.

Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?
And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?
I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.
So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.
I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)
However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??
So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.
I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.
I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it because I am not getting behind the Mask?

I've been given the task of rendering an animation of a towerblock covered in RGB leds. Approximately 200 of them. I don't suppose there's a clever way of importing a light-show, rather than dying of old-age fiddling with the curve editor?
The lighting designer is using 'ShowCAD' which is apparently quite popular in the industry..

I am about to build a high-end PC to use with Photoshop CS4 (under Vista 64 bit). I've never built one before; I'm doing it partly to learn more about how they're put together, and partly so as to get exactly what I want - as fast as possible for Photoshop; watercooled; and very, very quiet.
Most high-end computers seem to be designed for gamers, not Photoshoppers, and most advice is aimed at gamers. I've searched the web for Photoshop-specific advice, but it's mostly about CS3, and not up to speed on things like the i7 CPU, and what graphics card/s are best for CS4.

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 at work and every time I minimize or close Photoshop and then maximize/re-open, my Swatches and Layers panels are minimized.My workspace is saved, and I've tried resaving it (including panel locations, shortcuts and menus).
If i'm just simply switching programs/windows, it doesn't happen. Its only when the entire program is closed or minimized.It doesn't make any difference if I have a file open or not. Screenshots: left is before minimizing, right is after minimizing and maximizing again.hasn't always happened. Its jsut been in the last few months, and its driving me nuts. I mean its not like its hard to open them again, but when i'm switching back and forth between other programs and trying to do things quickly, it gets extremely irritating.
It doesn't happen on my colleague's computer, and she has the same version of everything. I've never seen it happen before (before it started doing this).I have CS5 (and have had CS3 and CS4 in the past) on my Mac at home and its never happened. Although you can't actaully minimize Photoshop on Mac anyway.

Why do ALL tutorial videos show the panels on the right of the screen? I loaded CS6 this week and thought I'd change them to the left. Why? Because I'm right handed and I tend to sit more to the left of the screen, which means I have to squint across to the right side of my very wide monitor to see the edit panels. I have successfully set up a profile with the panels on the left, and find it much easier to use (see below).
But... when I open an image it automatically loads to the left of the monitor (partly under the panels). I can get around that by hitting the 'F' key to get full screen mode with panels and menu, but is there a way to change the default position of the loaded image? I want to move it over to the right side as a default - like it is in screen grab below.

Is there a way to lock the height of the panels in CS4?
I like to have my navigator panel small and at the top with my History underneath and then my layers Panel the largest under that.
However, the sizes keep getting defaulted back and so it ends up the layer panel really small and the navigator panel bigger. This becomes 'pane' (sorry about the pun) having to keep stretching them out to how I want them?

When looking at architect CAD drawings in magazines I notice that they use figures, trees, cars, etc. to add scale to the building. I'd like to be able to do the same.
Is it possible to import similar images into AutoCad 2014?
One other question: if I'm drawing a house plan and I have specified the wall thickness by drawing 2 lines to represent the outer and inner boundary, how do I 'fill' the thickness of the wall; as opposed to just leaving it white/empty?

I downloaded a nice building and want to destroy it like everybody else, in Rayfire. The problem i always get is that rayfire and 3ds crash when i try to fragment it. I use Convex simulation geometry and Voroni uniform as setting for fragmenting.
I dont know if these objects that i download are too complex for fracturing or if the geometry are intercepting each other inside the object. But if i stack basic shapes on top of each other everything works fine.
Also if i make a box, cut some holes in it and try to fracture it, rayfire fills the hole box and its not hollow anymore. I tried to add a "shell" to it so its not paper thin and fracture with the "voroni - thickness".
That seems to work in some way, but when i start simulation everything flies everywhere.I'm pretty new to 3ds, so i guess there are some basics i dont understand. How i can make outstanding special visual effects

I'm trying to make a box collapse but everytime I run the simulation, instead of all the fragments falling downwards, some fragments explode upwards before falling. I have tried using both PhysX and Reaktor in RayFire with and without gravity force.

I have managed to create a 2 storey house complete with roof (i.e ground floor, 1st floor and roof).
I have got them all setup in the project navigator under constructs. I can view all three of these layers in 3D by changing the popdown in the view/popdown option but i can't see the 'full' house. i.e. as if i was looking down on the full house from above at an angle and can see the ground floor, 1st floor and roof all at once. I've seen examples in the main page under 'pctures of the week' so i know it can be done.
how to create a rear elevation or side view type drawing (how to do it so i can show someone, so i don't have a full grasp of the names of architectural plans).

I have a cdr file that has a few objects in it with a primary outline. Parts of the design extend outside the primary outline. If I want to select only what is inside that primary outline, how would I do that? If I could draw a multi point shape (such as an octagon) and say select what is inside that octagon that would probably accomplish what I'm looking for. I could provide the file if needed.

I need to move a portion of a jpeg image (a logo) a little bit to one side, then I will fill in the empty space. Do I need to save it as a .psd first? And which tool do I use?
I was trying to use one tool, not sure which one, and it told me the layer was locked. I couldn't figure out how to unlock the layer.
