I'd like the viewports to show only the applied textures without any kind of directional lighting but I just can't figure out how to do that.
I removed all lights so the model was pitch black then tried changing the ambient color in the environment panel but it had no affect.
I created a number of models/scenes and applied materials/textures to them using bitmaps that are in another folder.
I then created sub-folders for each of the models/scenes because I wanted to export to .obj and then copied the .max files to those folders. I then opened those .max files and the materials/textures were showing as normal.
I then exported to .obj, so in each sub-folder I then had 1 x .max, 1x .obj & 1 x .mtl files. Problem is that if I now open the original .max files in the normal way, the materials/textures are not showing and a message comes up saying that the bitmap files are missing. I don't understand why this is, seeing as the .mtl files are there in the sub-folders along with the .max & .obj files.
I added a uvw map/bitmap image to the material editor. The image shows fine in the material editor but when i apply it to the object which is just a plane it doesn't show it in the viewports.
I clicked on a new material ball, clicked the box next to diffuse, selected bitmap. Opened a jpeg file of the material Im using. It showed uo on the material editor ball. Then when I apply it to my object it just turns grey.
when I insert a block that is made up of different layer lines and shapes then they only show up in the model tab. The other layouts I have won't show the blocks even though the same layers are turned on and unfrozen in these other layout viewports just like the model space. It's looking like trying to use multilayer dynamic blocks will be pretty useless unless they work in every layout viewport and not just in model space.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTake a look below at my viewports and take the following into consideration:
AutoCAD 2012- CADPipe 12.0
Viewports are 2D Wireframe
Shade Plot is set to Realistic
Bottom right-hand viewport has been 'clipped'
All viewports have been '3d-Clip'ed
All text is done in Paperspace
All files have been X-reffed into a plot tab drawing (over 20 files)
I've created 15 other tabs using the same layout as this one with no issues
Preview shows all viewports, but when it prints, only the left two come out and parts of the other two.
This is how it looks in my Paperspace Tab.Paperspace Viewport Layout.jpg
This is how it's SUPPOSED to look, and looks in 'Print Preview'.Print Preview.jpg
This is what comes out after I print. Final Print.jpg
Never had this problem before. Can't figure out why it's not printing the two to the right. Viewports are set to 'on' and 'display viewport objects'. All pipe is in te same layer (just on seperate drawings). All are set to printable.
I am using autocad 2011..I have a problem with printing to scale.I have completed a drawing in model space with a 1:1 ratio, all my units are in mm.I have created 3 different view ports in paper space to show different aspects of my drawing, each view port has a different scale.
The whole drawing is to be printed on A2 size paper.
My main viewport (which contains the primary aspect of my drawing) is to be drawn to scale. When I click on this view port Autocad states that has a scale of 0.008583 – what does this mean? See picture 1..When I print the document the scale is set to 1 inches = 25.4.
All I want to do is print my drawing so that it fits onto an A2 page, but the main view port is to be printed to a scale. I want to scale to be sensible some like 1 in 200 or 1 in 50 etc so that other people can use a ruler to work out the real life dimension.
2 of 3 viewports in paper space do not show up in print preview, nor will they print. The viewports are all on the same layer, defpoint layer. Even if I create 3 new viewports and erase the old ones, still can only print preview one viewport and only one viewport will print.

In paperspace i have a couple of viewports , all nicely set out at 1:5 scale. then i click in another viewport and bam, all the other viewports change scale (zoom out) and orientation. is there some system variable that i have overlooked?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of sheet DWGs with a single layout in each. The layouts have several viewports into model space.
Is there a way to export out the layout tab where the viewport contents have been converted and placed into the layout space?
Ideally, I'm hoping to basically convert the viewport heavy paperspace into a dumb model space layout.
The code I'm using is supposed to go through all of the layouts and freeze the specified layer in the single viewport that is defined on that layout. It works for some viewports, but not for others. A "List" of the objects show the viewports are the same. I have a LiSP routine that gets me more info about selected objects. The first is a viewport that does not freeze the specified layer, the second does freeze the layer. Here is the code I'm using:
Public Sub FreezeNewLayerInVPs(ByVal pageNumber) Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim db As Database = doc.Database Dim layerToFreeze As String = "DETAIL_" & pageNumber Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager. Start Transaction( )Dim layTable As LayerTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(db.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead),
[code]...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run the CUI command, and use the command search to find an old macro command that I created a while back. I edit the macro in the right-hand pane and then click APPLY, and then OK to exit the CUI. But the changes that I made are not there - when I run the command in AutoCAD, it executes the old version of the macro.
So I tried it again, only this time I exited out of AutoCAD and re-launched. Still nothing.
This is very strange, because I've been composing and editing macros (attached to toolbar buttons) with CUI for years, and this is the first time I've ever had this problem. But it is worth noting that this is the first time I've tried to do this in our current version of ACAD, which is 2012 vanilla.
I notice a rather strange behaviour in Lightroom 4.3 in the Develop module: it appears that the Develop preview ("zoom to fit" setting, I guess that's what 99% of people are using when using the global adjustments) is only updated when moving the mouse pointer AWAY from the slider that controls the adjustment (it doesn't matter if it's Clarity, or Highlights, Shadows, whatever).
I happen to often click somewhere on the sliders range, say somewhere in the middle between 0 and +100, to get an idea what a Clarity ~50 might look like. If I keep the mouse pointer hovering over the knob, the Develop preview will look pixelized/blocky, and not update to a more refined preview.
Only if I move the mouse pointer AWAY, the preview will be updated. It's as if the rendering is delayed until you're really sure you want that setting, perhaps to improve responsiveness/performance? This didn't happen in LR 4.2.
I tried this with a NEW catalog and only imported something like 100 photos to it, and no plugins - the behavior stays the same. I uninstalled the latest AMD/Catalyst graphics driver and let Windows 7 (64bit) "fall back" to a default driver - again, behavior stays the same.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis really doesn't qualify as a tutorial, rather it's a reminder that various effects (including distortions) can be applied to masks to achieve interesting results.
Take this somewhat boring publicity photo, for example:

1. Make an elliptical selection, re-position it as necessary, and feather it by 20px.
2. Create a mask from that selection:

The combination of the polished stone and ripple effects works nicely here, since the final effect is similar to the loose strands of her hair style.
I used the KPT Collection's KPT Noize effect to create a nebulous background and added a yellow-to-blue gradient layer above it (set to "Multiply" mode); and a bevel layer style to the text, reducing the kerning after the capital J's to -50. I also applied the Smart Photo Fix to the original photo, reducing the brightness slightly.
The layers look like this:

View 5 Replies View RelatedCan a filter be applied to just part of clip instead of the whole clip? I mean a way to easily adjust when a filter starts during the clip and when it ends. I'm not interested in anything involving splitting a clip because you really can't try out different start and end times simply this way. I thought about doing it by adding keyframes, but the few filters I've tried can't be turned off completely and leave residual effects that can be seen.
There's an editing feature in AVS Video Converter and you add effects to a video clip on a separate timeline just below the video timeline, and it's easy to move the effect on the timeline and you can change the length of the effect by dragging the ends. Is there something similar in Videostudio?
I have a problem with scaling and rotation when I apply one tag coming from palette tool. I use ACA 2013 METRIC and this problem did not exist in 2012.

I apply a stroke to one or more images which share a common background. I click on the thumbnail image in a given layer, add a new layer in which I stroke the image. This all works as expected, after I apply the stroke I only see the border but not on all four sides? The layers have all been previously aligned and distributed. If I move the image slightly the border becomes visible on all sides, but the images are no longer aligned.
