AutoCad 3D :: 2013 Materials - Pool Of Liquid Enigma?
Mar 17, 2013
I'm an Autocad Architecture user (the 2013 student version). In Acad's Material library there are some Water materials you can choose from such as Swamp, Swimming Pool, Tropical etc, but I can't figure out how they're supposed to be used to save my life. When I check the properties of water materials, in the little preview window they are applied to a "Pool of Liquid" geometry. Am I supposed to create that sort of geometry?

My computer is custom-built. I have a 450 gig hard drive with oodles of ram and am using the latest PS; my operating system is XPPro, sp 3.
I create slide shows with music in Proshow Producer and generate them as exe files, which I really adore. I'm looking for a format to convert the same Proshow Producer file or its exe child for viewing on a mac that is as good as an exe file, but I just don't see it. A Flash file does not measure up to an exe file, and the various mpegs do not allow one to control showing.
Someone recently mentioned something called an etf, which translates into Enigma Transfer File. Does anyone know anything about it or some other file format that I might use?

I am using AutoCAD 2014. We were recently asked if there is a way to automatically update bill of materials if you change or add materials in a drawing. Bill of material is not necessarily in the same drawing? Do I need to create a table?
We normally just create a bill of material separately from the rest of the drawings in AutoCAD. They also want to be able to export it to exel

I am currently making a 3d tower and the outside of the tower is glass, but when i apply the colored glass i want you can see the whole way through the tower. That isn't what it looks like in real life.
I tried adjusting the transparency of the material and the glass is still see through. I then changed it to a solid glass but then i couldn't get the color that i want and it doesn't look realistic. i tried messing with the opacity, again that had no effect. i am using AutoCad 2013.

is it posible to list all the materials from all libraries and catagories from Inventor 2013?
I am using this at the moment: Dim oMat As Inventor.Material For Each oMat In oApp.StylesManager.Materials comboMaterial.Items.Add(oMat.Name.ToString) Next
This works but only pulls through and lists the "Inventor Material Library" materials by default.
What is strange though is that when I apply a material from another library to a part then its almost like that library is now active and if the routine is run again it only pulls through materials from that library and not the "Inventor Material Library" again.
I know in 2014 its better supported but is there a way to get all materials in 2013?

I've got some insulation that is colored white and no matter what white I use or alter the views still show grey. 2011 didn't have this problem as white-flat looked white on screen.

How do I go about restoring, repairing or fixing the default materials and appearances that come installed with Inventor Pro 2013? I have a stand-alone single seat installation. SP 1.1 has been installed.
I tried to create a custom library of materials and appearances by making a copy of InventorMaterialLibrary.adsklib and renaming it. I then added new materials. Depending on project, I get nag messages regarding template styles in conflict with the library styles. I'm also getting message warning me that the InventorMaterialLibrary can't get loaded.
It is my intent to create a custom materials and appearances library that mimics the as installed InventorMaterialLibrary plus some additional materials and appearances. The custom library and appearances need to be available to all NEW projects and MAY be added to existing projects without getting the nag message about style conflicts.
I'm also seeing a behavior where the default appearance changes from standard light gray to the first appearance listed in the Autodesk Appearance Library, the 1.5 inch blue tile. I suspect that's the reason I'm getting the nag message. How do I fix this? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
1) Restoring default as installed material and appearance libraries
2) Creating a custom materials and appearance library to contains ALL items found in the InventorMaterialLibrary plus new materials and appearances
3) Preventing nag style conflict messages
4) Preventing the default appearance of light gray to change to the 1.5 inch blue tile
The machine I'm currently using needs to be ready to go in the morning.

in versions of inventor prior to 2013 we were able to quickly and easily refresh a part styles, and thereby obtain the master information for materials, colours and any other style.
i find that now, with the new system of managing materials and appearances that if i need to update a part to reflect the material assests that reside in my materials and appearance library that i have to:
1. open the part, then set the part material to a material other than that i wish to update, then
2. delete the local/ document asset of the material i wish to update, then,
3. assign the material from my material library to the part (to get the library assets to come through to the part).
it seems ridiculous that we have to delete local materials or colours prior to obtaining an updated material or appearance to get the new data into the part.
(the refresh styles command actually appears to be calling in the updates however the updates seem to treat the document assets as the most important. even when managing materials and appearances, the local/document asset seems to take priority over any library asset. again this is different to pre 2013, and is frustratingly slow to work around. all that used to happen in 2012 and prior is we would get a warning that the local style would be overwritten with updated style data = very quick and easy

When creating custom materials and utilizing them within your Revit project, are the image files embedded within the RVT file and thereby increasing file size? I was needing to know before we load down the project file (.rvt) with many custom materials. Hopefully it is just a pointer to a separate material file.

I'm working on a background and it's supposed to look like that pattern you see at the bottom of a pool on a sunny day. Basically the shadows of the waves and ripples at the top.
I'm currently doing is a cloud filter, applying chrome and setting the hue/saturation to look blue, but it's not quite right.

Pretty much I'm looking to create a background similar to the background of the high school musical 2 movie poster. I'd post a link but I'm too "new". A Google image search of HSM2 should do the trick.
All I'm currently doing is doing a cloud filter, applying chrome and setting the hue/saturation to look blue then expanding, but it's not quite right.

For the orange ring pic:
I was thinking about grabbing the luminosity of the waterfall and putting it above the replacement tiles. (Using various forms of blending.)
here are the samples and what I did. (i know the tiles are not distorted properly. I was trying to get the see through effect of the water first.)
I've never done this type of thing. (I've read about it before.) I want to make it look good since I won't be at this temp job long and I want to make a good impression. (So they will ask for me to come back later on.)
For the patio pic:
i'm not sure what to do about the shadows. I'm thinking of the same technique for the water edge. And I will be using 2 different tiles to replace the existing ones.

Ive been experimenting (unsuccessfully) to reproduce this effect. Originally the photographer would take a polaroid photo, and use a hairdryer to heat up the emulsion a bit, then using a pin he could "paint" with the liquid emulsion.
Then once PS became popular he started using it for the majority of the effect.
He may use a custom plugin / filter. Im not well versed on whats available but I am open to using 3rd part software if its needed.

Does someone know how to create realistic liquid and foam effect on pictures. It should looks like they are real, because I will use them on 3D renders - pictures. I would like to add water or milk on my 3D renders. It should look like it was spilled and there should be drops too.

i'm trying to create a liquid effect then making it a fluorescent colour on Photoshop CS4 Extended. Kind of like a line that shoots our then slowly drops down and hits something and turns in to liquid on impacts... hard to explain.
What im trying to achieve is something similar to the pen tool where you draw your path and stroke it then using the Outer glow and inner glow to give it a Lightsaber look but in a form of a liquid. I was thinking of using the Liquify tool but wasn't sure if that would actaully work.

The bottom liquid drains through the vertical hole at the bottom. As this falls the liquid above falls with it until flow stops when all the lower liquid has gone and the hole is blocked. This then leaves the original volume of the top liquid in the bottom of the "dish".
I have considered a few options:
Creating a particle flow with a blobmesh to simulate the liquids.
Creating a "finished position" object for the top liquid and morphing between the two.
Simply moving the solid pieces down during the animation (as I need to get this out really quick)
Two questions:
What is the best method of simulating this?
What would be the best way of achieving a ripple effect on the top liquid surface and the interface between the two?
