View 5 RepliesI'm working on a graphic for a website that has a space-ish theme. The image is one of several ships in a fire-fight.
The hardest part of this image(the one I cant figure out how to do) is to make engine flares for the ships coming out the rears.
How are complex shapes created in Inventor.I have started a propeller but at this point am only able to do the hub. How to create the propeller blades. Is this modelling for this shape done with surface modelling or can it be created with solid modelling technique?

I am trying to get the rectangle pattern to form 8 blades of the same shape and height across the barrel.A picture shows how the height is lost within the barrel..The only blade which is the same height is the 2 outside blades
Is the rectangle the right tool to produce the result?
I am looking for ways to draw the rolling of blades or slats around an axe for Aluminum Roller Shutters. The path of the rolling is an hellix, rolling around a 70 mm octogonal reel then continue downward in a downward movement.
I have attached some pics from Catalogues and Guides where such have been drawn.
I have tried a few things and can't get mine to look like these.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy model has turbine engines complete with blades.
After attaching the engine to the rest of the model, I tried to animate the blades using Cycles, however, because the engine itself is attached with a 15-20º incline, the blades do not rotate around -360 properly. The illustration below shows the blades at the -89º mark.
How do I reset the pivot point for the Rotate Tool, or at least compensate for the offset pivot?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are using AutoCAD Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion 2009 on all machines and one of our machines is getting the message "Error opening Point Database" and then gives the project file pathcogopoints.mdb.
It also gives the message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data." It is not opened by another user and permissions have been given for all machines to access these files.
Background information: We move older projects to an external hard drive for archiving and occasionally need to access them as the need arises. We have done this successfully for some time without issue, but now one of our machines is giving the above error. The other machine, which the external hard drive is connected, does not have this problem. We tried moving one project file back to the original location and it seemed to work okay, but another file did not. Some files were created using an older vrsion of AutoCAD, but that has not been a problem with opening them in the past. All sharing permissions to the external hard drive have been checked and seem to be working properly.
I create a engine assembly and used "Drive Constrain" to rotate the crank shaft. The animation shows the crank shaft turns continuously in one direction. However, when I animate the constrain in Inventor Studio, the crank shaft turned in two different directions (see the vide file attached).
May I know why the crank shaft turns different direction?

I'm new user of REVIT Architecture for approximately one month, and I am very disappointed about quality renderings.
I am looking for a realistic 3D rendering engine, which would be fairly simple to use because I do not want a complicated software such as 3DS MAX software.I would also like a software as compatible as possible with REVIT, ie that file sharing should be simple without having to recreate the materials and textures in the rendering software.I have heard the following software:

Whenever I try to start After Effects CC, it gets stuck on "Initializing type engine". This didn't happen on After Effects CS6, and I'm wondering what can be done to fix this. I have about 1,000 extra fonts that don't come with Windows, and if I get rid of them it works just fine. The problem is, without the extra fonts After Effects is pretty much useless to me, and CS6 worked just fine with 7,000+ fonts, so this shouldn't be a problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 27" iMac (late 2012) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX graphics card running Mac OS 10.8.5.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.0.3, and when I updated my OS to 10.9 Maverick, I began to experience several problems, including:
The dreaded spinning beachball and "Premiere not responding." "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) which is not available on your system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used.Video files - I think they were all .MOV - became "squished" to the top of the Program Monitor (movie only took up about 1/3 of program monitor window). After a long chat with Adobe Support, he indicated that the update to 10.9 Maverick was the problem, so I:
Updated to Premiere 6.0.5, but that did not fix any of the issues.Logged in as "Root," which worked for a while but I also received 3 "Premiere encountered problem and must shut down."Deleted preferences, repaired permissions, basic troubleshooting practices, etc, but problems persisted.
Eventually I restored my computer from a Time Machine backup to a day prior to the OS 10.9 update, and this seemed to fix all the issues. So I was back to Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 6.0.3.
But the .MOV-compressed-in-the-program-monitor problem began to surface again (see photo below).
So I updated to Premiere to 6.0.5 (but not my OS - it's still 10.8.5), and the "Mercury Playback Engine" error is back.
And the .MOV files are still compressed in the Program Monitor. I have a project that I completed in 6.0.3, but is now messed up in 6.0.5.
Is the only solution downgrading to Premiere 6.0.3, and if so, must I do a clean install of the program from the DVD?

I'm working with Photoshop CS6 and I'm working with a lot of layers with Masks presently (I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not) and I'm trying to add text to my image but I keep getting an error message saying: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from initializing." How do I fix this? I just had a problem where I had to re-install the software from scratch because Photoshop wouldn't open files or create any new files, but, like I said, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Did Adobe change the Brushes engine from CS3 to CS4?
Is Adobe taking "illustrators" in mind during the PS development?
We need better and realistic natural media controls, like watercolours (what about Moxi?),impasto, etc.; a colour wheel could be better than the actual color palettes, some palette to put a selection of brushes.
Could we hope that the "artistic" side of Photoshop will be improved soon?
Look at the attached screenshot. I am modeling some spaceships and I want to do some track or only some fire, which is come from jets (as you can see on the image) but I don't really know, if I can do that in Maya or if I have to you some other software.
