My issue is that all my rounded objects aren´t rendering smooth. And what is up with all these lines?
Am i missing something when i render rounded objects? I already tried the this tip but nothing changed.
I'm trying to make lego arms currently. I'm using two capsules to make the arms. But you can obviously see two capsules were put together. Is there a way to mush the two objects together to make it look like one? I tried connect and Turbosmooth but it's still noticeable.

How can I get smooth rounded edges?
Let's say, for argument, I want a "square" with rounded corners. So I take the shape tool at 50px radius and draw my square. Right off the batt, the round parts look like utter junk.
What other technique could yield a better corner?
Also note that I can take the blur tool and blur the corners so they are somewhat nicer, but then if I put a shadow on the box, you can clearly see the shadow doing weird things on the blured part. Obviously, with all the beautiful PS images out there, smooth rounds are easily obtainable, not these wildly pixelated corners the shape tool gives me.
What can I do that can be as easy as the shape tool?
i have a problem when rendering 3d objects having arcs. the arc in the rendered photo is not smooth and round !

I cannot seem to do this! I feel very stupid, as i'm not actually bad with photoshop. I've made a 750x450 photoshop file and just cant get it to look nice.
Does someone have a simple method for this? How can i do it to the very maximum size that will fit on the 750 450 doc?
the perfect example is of the main flash part of the macroedia site here here
My goal is to get it so that I can just turn on realistic visual style and ray tracing and be able to get usable screen shots for product datasheets/ marketing material without having to resort to rendering in studio. (If possible and I think it should be) All my products feature a black powder coated enclosure (think DVD player shape/size). When I enable ray tracing all I basically see is a black blob with no good definition between surfaces,etc.I'm assuming now that I need to do 2 things #1 increase/modify lighting and #2 modify the colors in the style library to work better. For that black color in the style editor I basically have all 4 colors (ambient/diffuse/specular/emissive) set to black. Is there something I should do to allow "more realistic" colors instead of just all color options set as black? I've gotten very decent renders from studio that worked just fine in the past but I've got roughly 400+ screenshots that are needed now for new products. I can play around with settings till I'm blue in the face but I was just looking for tips to have a decent baseline to start with.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've rendered a prepass for the IR and sent the job to BB like normal. The issue is with one piece of geometry. It's rendering it out of place when rendered through bb. If I render the frames directly in Max it renders correctly. This would be fine but I'm trying to render a 300+ frame batch to fix this area and I'd really like to be able to use the farm.
I tried copying the transform keys from the object, deleting it and replacing it with a fresh copy of the geometry made in a fresh/empty file and then pasting the keys back on. Then rendered out the prepass in Vray and I'm still getting the problem. It's obviously not with Vray because when I render directly through max it renders correctly. It's got to be BB but I'm completely stumped as to why or how to fix it. It's as if BB is getting incorrect geometry information from the max file.
The object renders through bb transformed in the x axis. In other words, the object is rendered about 3 feet off to the right of where it actually is.
I have a rounded corner rectangle in a template that I am working on..I would like to extend the vertically but keep the rounded edge dimensions the same as I extend vertically.
Right now I extend the rectangle but the edges also extend.
Ps CS6 v13.0.1
OS X 10.6.8
Problem: Ps CS6 incorrectly renders vector objects pasted from Adobe Illustrator. CS5.1 does not exhibit the problem.
Below is screenshot of artwork in Illustrator and which is copied to clipboard, followed by screenshot of "Paste as Smart Object" in Ps CS5.1 then screenshot of same paste in CS6. "Paste as Pixels" gives identical good rendering in CS5.1 and poor rendering (gray pixels which should be pure white in this example) in CS6. This is repeatable with other artwork.
Several weeks ago there was a complaint in this forum that Photoshop CS6 poorly renders vector artwork that is pixel-aligned in Illustrator. The Adobe response was that Photoshop is correct. Strange that CS5.1 can render pasted vector artwork perfectly and only CS6 makes a mess.
How do I make the frame & photo rounded just like they did in the following template I'm working on in Flash. They say they did it in Photoshop.
I used the rectangel tool and it always makes the photo inside out. I need it to round the edges not hide the photo. Is there a way to show the middle of the photo and then make a frame like they did on the website?
I'm using Photo Shop Elements.
why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.

I found that I have two ADT.CUI files. The one in ...userdatacacheSupport has a 2007 date and the one in the ...enuSupport folder has today's date. Apparently the CUI editor lets me edit one but the other is getting loaded. How do I get the newer version to be the one that gets loaded?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI needed to make a dome-like feature and the only way I could get something that looked even close to what I was modeling was to use the loft tool. I've attached the model of what I'm talking about (it's Inventor 2010) The problem is when I try to make a drawing for it, it won't show some of the lines on the dome feature. The only way the loft would work was if I checked the "closed loop" button. I tried checking the box in the drawing saying show tangent faces or something like that and that didn't work either.

The export is successfull but I can't get the rotation of texts to work properly - all the texts are horizontally aligned and not rotated. For example, the ROTATION field of a text in the sqllite database has the value 4.8376865658545531 - in the DWG the rotation property is 192.0233g - but when using the ROTATION field as the value for Rotation in the style label it isn't being rotated.

I have recently changed computers, I am apart of a Flexi license system. Now my problem is when i go into Application options and change where to open my templates from it does not save when i quit Inventor. I have also notcied small things like the reverse cusor button i always click but everytime i get out of Inventor it defaults.
(Pictures: One is the custom templates i would like to use. I am selecting them in Application Options/ Templates than applying and closing. Then when i am fnished with Inventor for the day and shut down and the next day when i come back it defaults back to the default templates)

View 7 Replies View RelatedAnytime I copy and paste anything from one drawing to another (which I do often) it pulls in Layers, Dimstyles, and Blocks that aren't even in the drawing I am copying from?! I don't understand it. I have purged everything from each drawing prior to copying and pasting but after I paste, the items I just purged reappear. It is getting extremely annoying to have to purge CERTAIN items from a drawing that I don't want. I can't even do a purge all because there are blocks that I have in my prototype that I want to keep but don't necessarily use all the time.
I do not get into lisp commands, certain block items, 3d, etc. but am familiar with just about everything but I have ALWAYS had this problem. Just recently I have started to really concern myself with keeping my drawings "clean". I do not want dimension styles in my drawings that are not used and/or are not mine! Same with blocks! I would understand if I was copying block items into my new drawings that it might pull in some thing that are used inside the block that you may not see but this is happening when I pull in SINGLE LINES!!! ON LAYERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN MY DRAWING! It will pull in completely unused layers.
I have recently been using Sheet Set Managers (SSM) more recently and have found them quite handy but I am also finding some peculiarities with it too. I have no issues setting up a SSM and getting it to plot all my sheets either to our plotter or to PDF at full size (24x36), however when it comes to setting up a half size (11x17) page setup and overriding to it, is where problems occur.
What I want is a page setup that I can select that will plot 11x17 from 24x36. So, I first created a page setup that does this in our template (.dwt) and then set the page setup overrides file to our template file (under sheet set properties). Next I right-cliked on my sheet set and went to "Publish" and then "Publishing Using Page Setup Override", but the list it populated for me did not reflect all of the page setups we have in our template??? It listed two page steups _24x36 and _30x42 (see attachment). These page setups can be found in our template under page setup manager along with several others which don't show in the overrides (see attachment).
Is there a reason the other page setups aren't coming up in the SSM overrides menu?

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday, I decided to give Maya a try. After I installed the program, I created primitive polygons and played with the program a bit. Everything worked fine. However, I have a few problems. The shortcut keys aren't working. It's valid to say that the problem is occurring because the hotkeys aren't set. I checked the hotkey editor interface and determined that all the hotkeys are set. Consequently, the problem isn't occurring because the hotkeys aren't set. Also, right mouse click doesn't bring up a menu. Is there an option to toggle hotkeys that I don't know about?
