View 9 Replies View RelatedOn the image of the slider of my Homepage I want a semi transparent box to appear and then after a few seconds some text will appear on the semi transparent box. The text and the semi transparent text box are on different layers. I found a tutorial on a website and followed the instructions.I created a rectangle with the sizes I need and then:
Colour > Colours to Alpha > Left Click on the pop up box that appeared > Left Click on the Colour to Alpha Colour Picker > Click on the colour I want to make transparent > Export as .png
What I got is indeed a semi transparent foreground text box to place my text on but it is too dark (Pic.01). I would like it to be light semi transparent like in Pic.02 on the right(Avada 3: The Best Yet)
How do I change the transparency level / Opacity of the foreground text box? I changed the Opacity to 50% on my second try but I did not see any visible change.
how I can create a similar looking image, I want to learn to make my spheres into perfect circles and I want to learn how they do the effect at the top center to gather all the words tightly at the tip.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a series of sphere images that are to be used as an animation, whereas in my case I have a transparent background layer and a layer containing a sphere. Then I want to add a 15 degree rotation for each new image. The problem is that every time I select the rotate tool and click on the image to enter the value, the sphere is moved slightly.

And like this: [URL]
I'm having a couple of problems: 1) if I put the network lines on the map it looks too flat so I think I need to apply them to a slightly larger invisible sphere; 2) when I add a blur/outer glow to the lines they do not wrap cleanly on the sphere, they kind of break up and distort. Plain lines do not seem to have this problem but objects with effects do.
I know there are many ways to model this but how would some of you go about it? Would you create a sphere then cut out a spline circle for the ports? Would you create a box then turbo smooth it out to a sphere?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a sphere which I'm able to project on a sketch of smaller circles which I'd like to engrave over it's surface, yet I want each of them to be perpendicular to the surface of the sphere in each point. Emboss doesn't do the trick, it just makes the engraving perpendicular to the plane.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been attempting to create a sphere with an Earth texture, for which I've made a custom appearance with a flattened picture of earth. Instead of wrapping to the sphere, however, the image is mirrored on both sides of the sphere and extremely distorted. I knew wrapping 2D geometry to a sphere was not strictly possible, but is there no way to pull it off with an image?
If not, would something like this be possible in 3DS max?
I have a sphere body whose material is partly removed by a boolen subtraction with another sphere. When I query the EdgeLoop of sphere for Outer edge loop using function InvEdgeLoopPtr::GetIsOuterEdgeLoop(), I always get a value of VARIANT_TRUE. check for the inner and outer loop of a sphere? use the attached file for reference.

I'm trying to project an inset of the border onto the curved surface and use the shell command to create a hollow funnel with an overhanging lip. I have projected the inset successfully, but cannot select the resulting smaller face, just the whole original face.
A similar problem that I tried while attempting to figure this out was shelling a sphere. 2d sketch -> 3d sketch project onto surface, and try applying shell to the resulting "face". However I can only select the whole face when trying to shell.
I am trying to create a spheric container with a irregular pattern of different triangle as show in the example attached.
What would be the best way to creat this part? i was thinking of creating each triangle in a different .ipt and after assemble them all toghter. But this will take ages and a lot of ipt.
I need an intersection of the surface of a sphere and a plane, producing a circular line.
I do not know how to do that.
I'm looking to use Inventor Studio to render a model, using an image sphere (e.g. Stuttgart Courtyard) as the background.
I cannot find the installed location for these images, so even if it is the active view, Inventor will not allow me to render it, and I cannot manually select the file as my image sphere.
Also, are additional such image spheres available for download?

What are the parameters for a parametric 3D Equation Curve to create a path for a coil similar to that in the attached image?
Or alternatively tell me how I can produce the coil in some other way!
I need a path on a sphere like on the image I attached (sphere_spiral) for the result similar to image called "gomb". The only problem, metric spiral or coil / 3d helical curve path won't work because it doesn't end the result I need, because the lines are converging each other. So, I figured out I need a logarithmic spiral 2D sketch or maybe a sinusoidal path.
I need a path from the sphere's top center point to the bottom center point, projected to its surface with equal distance of lines.
I am designing perfume bottles and for that i need to to repeat a semi circle to repeat over a curved surface fo the bottle. To simplify the problem i have created curved surface and made a semi cirle as a feature, now i want the feature to repeat on the curved surface. I have tried to rectangle pattern, aswell as the circular pattern in all possible ways i can think.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAs part of the automation requirements we are working on (through the .NET interface), we would like to find out whether a given drawing contains a sphere and if it does we would like to know its properties. We are doing something like this, to loop through the database and am able to get all Solid3d type of objects.
What I would like to know, if a given solid3d object is a sphere or otherwise. The code snippet is pasted here for reference:
bool bContainsSphere = false;
foreach (ObjectId Id in Ids)
{
DBObject oObject = ts.GetObject(Id, OpenMode.ForRead);
if (oObject.GetType().Name == "Solid3d")

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm picking this catagory as I think it is something that has been done before with mapping flat images to a 3D sphere (globe).
The application: Mapping a pattern design onto a sphere - in this case a marble. The pattern design is in pdf format and has been manipulated so that the image fits a certain sized sphere (2") around the circumference. I'm hoping to take this 2D image and wrap around the middle of the marble in full image length and have the image diminish as it rises to the top and bottom of the marble for fitting the surface.
I have lightly researched bring in a pdf format file into AutoCad and see that it can be done. Now I need to address the technique of wrapping it around a 3D sphere.

I am modelling on an object which exists of a sphere with a lot of lightbulbs around it. I made asphere and 1 light surrounded by 6 lightbulbs. My intension is to make a perfect symmitrical sphere of lightbulbs.
I work with Autocad Mechanical 2012 (not for so long) and quit new into the world of CAD. I worked with the command array, and that worked fine, but I don't know how to repeat the cluster of 7 bulbs all over the sphere.
Imagine a basketball sitting on top of a pipe that is half the basketball's diameter: as a result, an inverted dome is comprised within the pipe. The intersection between the cylinder and the pipe is a circle.
How do I place a Cylinder on a Sphere?
I want to be able to move the cylinder and take a point from the sphere where I can attach it(the cylinder).
I will use the sphere as a joint for multiple cylinders so the intersection between a sphere and any cylinder must always be the circle that forms the base of the cylinder NOT another circle parallel to the base(if the cylinder enters the sphere, if you place a metal rod through a snow ball, the resulting object is a bullet, a cylinder with a dome: not what I want).
