How can I build something that looks like a rubber membrane stretched in a spot where an invisible object (say bowling ball) is sitting on the membrane? Hopefully that is enough of a description.
How to do this effect. Extrude does not give me the desired effect. Pretty much a beginner in Illustrator.
I'm trying to import an illustrator file which has a spot color into photoshop as a smart object. The spot color converts to four color when imported.

What happens is I have a jpeg in a separate layer. I then shrink it to overlay on another layer. I begin to shrink and rotate it, and then at some point (seemingly a certain angle) during rotation the image's bounding box gets stretched like 500% or some gross number. How do I stop this from happening?

is there a way to make a drop shadow for an invisible object. because i want only the shadow of the pipe im drawing. when i set the opacity of the pipe to 0, the shadow turns invisible too.
i tried the dodge/burn tools, but they dont give me the same shadow as the other pipes in the image.
I want to use FumeFX to create an explosion coming out of a giant pipe. So I create the pipe in 3ds max and generate the explosion coming out of it. But now I want to export it into my movie, but I don't want the pipe geometry to be shown in the export, and if I make the pipe invisible, you can see the explosion at all times, even when its still inside the pipe. Is there a way to make it so your explosion can't be seen behind a hidden object? And will this also work for water in RealFlow?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGot some visual issues on the model space window in perspective view of the Objects/Models somehow gets tearing effects/ parts get invisible or gone missing, when playing around with it, whilst zooming, rotating, paning, moving while inside the perspective view window, this is not evident before in older 3ds max version we have used which is 2009, the model/object is correctly done, no open poly or anything with it or whatsoever....its just the viewing when you try to play around with the model that you see the tearing ups, this is quite frustrating coz you might think that the model is empty or missing its face or sides, or another part have gone thru the object....etc etc.

While modeling I always take ref planes for modeling and texture projection.But while modeling I am facing a problem.
Let me tell the backdrop first I am modeling a female face from 5 image planes for which I have assigned 5 separate cams.
Now 4 of them r working fine but on of the image is coming in the way of the fifth cam.
Now I can easily put the object in layer or isolate etc but turning them on or off is a real pain in a** while modeling.
Press/pull has been working fine up until now. When I try to press/pull a boundary, it creates an invisible extrusion rather than cutting into the object.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCertain selected tool cursors are almost invisible on my workspace. The lasso, type, rectangle, line tools when selected and moved into the workspace are almost the same colour as the background so it is impossible for me to get any accuracy with these tools as I can't find where they are on the page.
The other cursors, pencil, pen, eyedropper etc are coloured in black so it's fine. Is there a way of altering the other cursors so they are black too? Or finding another solution?

I drew some strokes and then I was busy on another part of my image then when I looked back at the other part half of my strokes were not visible. Im not sure why. They are still there because I can select them and I can see them in outline mode but they are invisible in preview for some unknown reason. The stroke hasnt changed and the layers are all visible. I restarted and they came back.

View 28 Replies View RelatedI have designed artwork that uses lots of colors and lines. Everything was pretty much designed with lines and shapes and then I used live paint to paint in certain sections. The artwork looks perfect when exported as a GIF and it appears fine in Illustrator. The problem happens when I export the document as a PDF. When I export it as a PDF, tiny white lines show up where I have invisible lines in Illustrator. These invisible lines were put there in the first place so I could have set regions for the live paint without them showing. I'm not sure why they are showing up when I export.
I have tried multiple PDF settings and also tried flattening the layers and attempting to use Transparency Flattener Presets and export it as a PDF 1.3 but it is still greyed out in the export options when I try.
I've attached a screenshot of the PDF after it has been exported to see the lines. You will notice black lines and thicker white lines (like the one at the top), these are intentional. the ones that are undesired is the thin one near the bottom whre you can see theres a break point in color and then multiple ones going up. Deleting these with live paint selection, expanding the art, using direct selection tool to delete all ruin the art flow or do not work.

How it looks in illustrator:
We have 8 designers all running identicle systems, but one user is constantly using up their disk space quota, I've traced the problem to the fact that when they use illustrator it writes loads of 16.8 Mb files to their Library > Cache folder all called .afpdeleted followed by a series of numbers.
This doesn't happen with any of the other users.

Mac Pro 2.66Ghz 12Gb RAM

Every time I start up Illustrator CC 17.1.0, I see this annoying, grammatically incorrect message. To top it off, when it disappears, the invisible notification area icon remains. And the kicker: when I close Illustrator, the icon still remains until I hover the mouse cursor on it.

What does this notification even mean? That I can change DPI in Windows settings?
I am making the hands of a clock with tick marks held in a particular spot with an invisible bounding box. When I export as a png the bounding box disappears and all I have is the tick mark. Maybe a boundindg box isn't the correct description? I have made the hand using the rectangle shape with no fill and no line. The tick mark is contained within this space. But somehow when it is exported using png the invisible containment disappears. I need that to hold my tick mark in place as the hand goes around the clock.
View 18 Replies View RelatedWith both tools, I can make a few changes and then both will leave a black brush spot. It works, and then it is like the program is too challenged & it just leaves a black spot. Sometimes if I move my mouse to the history panel to back up to get rid of the black spot I get a swipe of the tool all across the image when I'm reaching with the mouse to go back in history.

I have placed a photoshop file in illustrator CS, the file contains a spot channel transparency that I want to print as a pantone plate. When I print separations my spot channel prints as a shade of grey. Several other vector items (generated in illustrator) using the same pantone print as a solid 100% black. I'm worried that my file will print with the transparency part of my pantone as a shade of its self when I send the files to the printer.

Basically, when I Spot Edit a spot (such as a speck of dust that was on the sensor or lens) there is alway s a "ghost" of the speck that remains, no matter what I do. The Opacity is set to 100, yet the tool behaves as if it is set to 90. It happens with Clone and Heal. I have also tried adjusting the Feather setting, to no avail.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm still working on changing a document I didn't create. It needs to be CMYK, but I keep getting error messages when I save it that there is a spot color. I saw one spot color in the Swatches (at least I seem to remember that's what the little dot in the corner means) and I double clicked it and changed it to CMYK. And I selected the one item that seems to have that color and I changed it to the CMYK version. But the swatch still has the corner dot and I still get the error message when I save.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created an ad using one PMS color after orginially being told that it was a "Thanksgiving 4 column x 4.5” spot color ad”. I received the following message from the newspaper printer today:
"Please relay to your corporate art department that the newspaper does not print in PMS/Pantone colors, except on a full color page, which requires an additional color charge. For spot color, we print in primary colors such as red or green, or in cyan or magenta alone.
As I understood it, spot color meant pantone, and CMYK was process. Am I wrong here or are the printers using the term "spot color" incorrectly?
When I want to send file separation containing only spot colours, sometimes it comes with empty CMYK separations printed.
Lets say an artwork may be only one colour, so when printed the outcome should be just that colour, but instead I end up with 5 separations printed - the one I wanted to print plus cmyk bits all blank (empty pages with only registration pieces imprinted).
Neither on artwork nor separation preview there's no process colours whatsoever, so do any of You know what may cause this?

I created two PDF's from identical files in Illustrator CS6 using spot colors but the colors came out different when printed although I couldn't find any apparent differences in the settings of the two documents.
I also noticed that when importing an eps file that contains spot colors in Indesign CS6, and export as PDF the colors in the PDF are sensibly different to the eps. It never happened with CS4.
How do I create a PDF that only incluse my PMS spot colors and process black?
