AutoCAD Inventor :: 3D Animated PDF
Oct 7, 2011
One thing is to have the option to rotate and zoom a 3D model in a pdf, which is just great. It's a pity that Inventor Pro does not do this from the animation environment to allow for the export to a 3D animated pdf.. For me, its not enough to be able to rotate and zoom, the model has to be able to animate too. At the moment, the only option to save as an animation is as a movie file from Inventor Publisher. It is also posible to save as an images sequnce which has some uses. There is also the Autodesk own .DXFx version of a 3D interactive invironment but that is only for Windows so it does not work in a Mac and that too does not save as an animated interactive model.
It all come down to Inventor Pro not exporting the opotion to allow Inventor Publisher to export the animation. I have only just got my head round the animation process of Inventor Pro, its just amazing but what good is it when it's only restricted to a movie file. I do not want to send any movie file when I have to spend so much time in post production editing just to optimise the animation or convert it to allow me to send it on... I want to be able to interact with the animation to see all parts moving from any view point.
Is there are way to save a 3D interacive animation from Inventor Pro or Pubilsher as a pdf...
example here

I have published the result of a dynamic simulation to the studio environment in Inventor 2012, and I would like to fix a camera to a point on the face of a simulated object. The camera target is at a point normal to this face, and its position and rotation need to update automatically with the object's current orientation at each time step to create a "point-of-view" video. The motion is too complex to be approximated by a camera path. The dialog box to define the camera allowed me enter a parameter for the rotation, but it was not stored as a variable; it needed to be manually redefined after each time step.
I think it may be possible to create a macro to redefine the camera's position, target, and rotation between each time step of the rendered animation, but I am not at all familiar with the objects and methods of Inventor's VBA. Would it be feasible to create something like this, or is there a simpler way, such as exporting the result of the simulation to another program like 3d Studio Max?

Is there a way to attach any animated file in the drawing such that the attached image remains animated in the Drawing file also (for example animated GIF images)?

My boss has seen a video clip that start with an aerial view of a building, then a rotation around that building- a top view which turns into CAD or similar drawing. Then the building is viewed floor by floor from top to ground floor. Then the clip carries on showing a production line with conveyor belt moving and so on.
Now he wants to prepare a similar thing for a job he is pricing at the moment. He wants to know what packages are needed and time scales for getting something like this ready. I have never done any animation don’t know where to start.
I can produce 3D drawings with CAD and Solid works and thats about it.

*tl;dr- Easy way to take the frames of a GIF and change them to a BMP (there are about 40 frames per Action) So- My friend was learning Java to build a game on Android while I would create the graphical resources. It will be a fighting game- so I went ahead and made animations for the moves and all the characters.
understanding the language so I thought I would go ahead and teach myself as well. I read faster than him- and I got to a point where I find out that graphical resources have to be in BMP (or so the author tells me) and that each frame in gif is a seperate BMP. So- is there an *Photoshop CS6 Willing to get on the cloud or something for the other CS programs.

I want to have my website and phone number rotating on the x-axis as an animated GIF. Is there a simple way to do this in Photoshop that I'm just missing?
I'd like to be able to insert the GIF in a movie project I've started in Sony Vegas.

I am trying to make an animated gif where an object starts at one end of the logo text and moves across and back. During the across and back I want to use the motion blur filter to simulate motion on the image.
I want the at symblol below to move across the logo text and then back. On the far right image and the far left image I want it to look regular (no effect) then all the tween ones I want to have a motion blur.

I have a video (.mov) and I opened image ready, made the animated gif. So i have a functioning animated gif of a hockey fight. I also have a pre-made .psd for my signature which includes a background, and another image. I have several problems.
I can transfer the gif over, and put it on the PSD.
1) The file size goes from 2.7mb to 112mb. ... WTF?
2) When i try and save it, it will only save the current layer/frame of what it sees. Therefor no more animated gif.
3) Also, how do I change the opacity of this? I would like to layer mask the finished product, then reveal using the brush with an opacity of about 75%, but the option is not available with linked-layers.

I downloaded a gif and opened it in Image Ready and proceeded to modify the nine frames it had to show a different face than the one it had.
After every frame mod I ran it in ImageReady to make sure it was working ok.
Once I had completed the mod I ran it again and it worked perfectly I then "Save Optimized As" and gave it a title and downloaded it to my desktop.
From there I opened it up in Safari to see if it worked ok and it worked but the face which had been so clear in ImageReady was now all spreckled with dots.
I tried to open it in ImageReady again and got the same results it was now spreckled with dots.
The original image was a black and white and the face I added was in colour but not sure if that would cause a problem seeing as it worked ok in ImageReady. I have added 2 pics so you can see the difference.
I am using a G4 Mac with PS-CS2

I am working on a art project where the main theme is human anatomy, and I am using Adobe Photoshop and Imageready to help me. I have made a animated gif, but am having trouble fading the layers into each other.
I was unable to upload it to imageshack or similiar due to its large size.

This animated .gif occupies the upper-left corner of a web page on my site. It is tabled to connect perfectly with a horizontal menu bar (you can see part of the menu bar in the image below). I created the ripples using Redfield Plugins.
I created these ripples because the corner of my web page needed something. I initially experimented with Greg's Plasma Effect inside various shapes, but decided to try for something a little more mellow. I settled on these magic ripples. Unfortunately, they need some help. I'm not sure what's missing. They need to be a little more glossy, perhaps. Or maybe some highlights, and possibly some reflections. I'm asking for your feedback and/or suggestions for improvement.

I made an animated gif in photoshop and saved it and made sure it worked. My problem is that I have a psd file that I am trying to put the animated gif into. When I try to paste it into my psd, it say that it will lose information if i save over it. I do not know what to do?! How do i put an animate gif into a psd?
I tried to go into image ready and save the psd into an html and then open the html in dreamweaver and replace the pic but it doesn't let me either because it saved the psd as a jpg and created an html and I cant put an image of the jpeg that was made in dreamweaver.

problem with a series of animated gif files. They're all japanese Kanji.
so there are 3 frames (as you can see), a white frame, a frame with the first stroke, and a third frame with the final stroke.
Now i want to edit the frames, but when i open it in photoshop i can only view the first frame (the blank screen). And i can't get to the other frames in imageready.
How can i get to the remaining 2 frames ?

Is is possible to create the look of the headlight beams as well as the "animated" look of the car in Photoshop? I don't think animated is the right word, but that's the best word I can come up with to describe it.

I am trying to animate 4 pages (of text and graphics) so they appear 1 at a time in an never ending loop in InDesign so I can export and create and animated GIF for a web banner.
The only way I have managed to do it so far is to group the text and graphics on each page, copy pages 2, 3, 4 onto page 1. Layer them on top of each other, animate them to appear 1 at a time by delaying the timing a second for each.But I can't get it to work as a loop.

I made an animated gif in CS6 and trying to save it for the web. The duration of the animation is pretty long, about 44 seconds. After 17 seconds the animation stops while the saving was completed. How can I solve this problem? The file is too large to attach (725 x 225 px) unfortunately.

I'm doing a series of videos for artists for practicing gesture drawing. They basically consist of 1 or 2 minute poses interspersed with 30 second pauses. The poses are drawn from my portfolio of model photography I've build up over many years, so they are stills. The 30 second pauses are just so the artist can flip to another sheet of paper, sharpen a pencil or shake his arms out.
When the pause is on the screen it will just display a generic background with some text showing which pose is coming up and a boilerplate copyright notice. But I thought it would be nice to have a little countdown timer being shown during the pause so the artist can see how much time remains before the next pose starts. What's a good way to integrate a little animated timer or clock that doesn't look too amateurish?

Is it possible to create animated gifs with photoshop CS3? Is so, how? I have played around with my sisters version on her computer before I purchase my own version and cannot figure it out. If not, which version of photoshop would you recomend I upgrade to? I am familar with version 7 on my old computer which crashed a while ago. I have since purchased a laptop, but since I didn't have the cd of photoshop 7.0 from my original license I have to repurchase.
