Maya :: Creating Texture Reference Object - Stick To Geometry Throughout Sequence

Dec 16, 2012

I have keyframed some ojects. I then set up a camera projection texture at keyframe 179

Is it possible to create a Texture Reference Object from keyframe 179 so this texture will stick to the geometry throughout the sequence?

Maya Modeling :: Create Geometry On Surface Of An Object

Jun 21, 2013

I have used Quad Draw to create geometry on the surface of an object, this geometry and its pivot can be seen in picture 1.I then try to mirror this geometry to the other side of the object's surface using the settings shown in picture 2

I get a mirror, but not based on the pivot, but it seems the mirrored geometry wants to be attached to the original drawn polys as shown on picture 3. Could it be a bug or is this how Quad Drawn objects are intended to behave?

Maya Modeling :: Creating Reference Point Or Locator For Group?

Jul 26, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way to create a group of vertices, edges or faces and somehow create a reference point or attach them to some kind of locator so they can be referenced at a later point. I want to be able to select a group of edges, model them and then move on to another task within Maya and have some kind of reference point so I can go back to the original group and not have to select them individually every time I want to work on that group of edges, faces or vertices, is this possible? I will post a picture shortly to this post so you can see an example of a specific group of edges that I would like to set a reference point or locater for.

Maya Modeling :: Reset Transforms Of Object Moves Geometry To Frozen Position

Oct 15, 2013

So, when I reset the transforms of an object, it moves the geometry back to the frozen position but the pivot point gets places at the world origin.
 
That can't possibly be what is supposed to happen, is it?

Maya Modeling :: Assigning Texture (JPG File) To Object

Apr 25, 2011

I'm trying to assign a jpg file to an eyeball and the file (containing the retina of the eyeball) comes out enlarged, even though it is not supposed to.

I'm using Blinn Material and hypershade to bring that texture to the eyeball, but every single time I try it, it comes out enlarged (see image attached). I've made sure I click on the Planar Mapping key before I try to copy the image onto my eyeball. I've also tried modifying the size of the image on Photoshop but not luck. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7.

Premiere Pro :: Creating Multi Camera Sequence Not Working - Not Making Sequence?

After selecting 2 (or more) files and right clicking and choosing Multi camera sequence from source,  I drag the newly created sequence on to the time line but all I get is the two files on the time line stacked over one another.  the sequence never gets created.

Maya Modeling :: Creating Object At Points?

Aug 24, 2011

Is there a way to select either vertices on a polygon or points on a curve and create an object at those points?

The snapping of objects to curve points isn't very accurate, so if possible, the above would greatly speed up my workflow.

3ds Max Modeling :: Cutting Geometry Using Texture Map?

May 1, 2012

I was wondering if there is a way to cut out geometry using a texture map.

So lets say you have a quad thats uv mapped. you apply a black texture with a white dot in the middle. Is there a way to cut that circle out using a method that just aproximates the shape?

I would be using this for complex stuff. I understand its a crazy question but I figured no harm in asking. The only thing I know to do is to apply the texture and then in the viewport just hand cut. But its a lot of stuff to cut so i'm open to any shortcuts and tips.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference Geometry In Assembly Drawings

Dec 6, 2011

We have some serious problems by creating assembly drawings with reference geometries in inventor 2010. Our target is, to create a drawing that look the way, the attachment shows (Picture-1) The sheet metal plates Pos 10-100 are an assembly. And the assembly in the back is the reference geometry. It’s a frame consists of steel sections. What we want: 1. The frame must be phantom lined in the idw. 2.

The Sheet Metal parts must be thick lined. 3. The Partslist of the Assembly should only contain the sheet metal parts and not the frame We have some ideas to solve this case, but each of them is nor perfect (please see the attachment Box.pdf) And there’s another problem (described in part 3 of attachment), we cannot position viewports or drawing elements to each other exactly. You have no possibility to give them dependencies. Also if you want to position symbols to each other. All of them are only near to be exact, but that’s a big problem. If you change contents of a viewport, another should be aligned to it, but that doesn’t work.

3ds Max :: Removing All Unwanted Polygons And Geometry Before Texture Baking

Feb 23, 2014

I'm working to Move Revit architectural files to 3ds Max, there use Vray for ligting and materials, texturebaking everything and moving it into unity. But I’ve run into allot of problems. I manage to get all the stages done, but there is so much “hands on fixing” that it’s not a viable workflow in RL projects.
 
My largest problem is removing all unwanted polygons and geometry before texturebaking. From revit you get a lot of faces that won’t ever be seen, like inside walls, in between there floors ect. For instance if I was doing an interior I would like to be able to quickly remove all unseen polygons and exterior faces that won’t be seen. Otherwise texturebaking is a pain. It will texturebake huge areas that won’t ever be seen making the process long and affecting resolution. Manualy removing all areas that won’t be seen is not an option.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Elements (Reference To Non-existing Geometry)

Jun 11, 2013

I have an iCopy solution that when resized smaller than the master some frame members no longer reference existing geometry (and aren't needed).

Is there a way to delete these with an iLogic rule? Curtis has a neat solution for sick constraints, I was hoping to use the same type of rule, but I'm at a loss as to how to reference the frame elements.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference To Original Sketch When Projecting Geometry

Apr 10, 2012

In an assembly document, if you want to project a sketch from one part into another, you go through these steps:

- select the part

- edit the part

- create a 2D sketch

- select the plane

- select project geometry

- select the sketch in the other part

- finish sketch

This creates a reference to the original sketch, so if I move the original sketch the new sketch will also move when I hit Assemble.

I am trying to do the same through the API, so I create a proxy for the original sketch and a proxy for the new sketch. I then use the AddByProjectingEntity method on the new sketch proxy passing the original sketch proxy.

This works for projecting the sketch, but it doesn't create the reference, so if I move the original sketch the new one doesn't move, even if I hit Assemble. How to create this link between the two sketches?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Constrain Or Dimension Reference Or Fixed Geometry

Jul 27, 2006

I've come across this many times now. When in an assembly, I create a sketch. I then try to project geometry and I will sometimes get this error:

"Cannot constrain or dimension reference or fixed geometry."

why I can't project edges/faces/points of certain parts?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference Parts Geometry On Detailed Drawings

Jun 17, 2012

How can you force the geometry of reference parts to print behind to print behind your visible  parts. I have my reference parts print out on a light gray layer to be shown indistinct on a drawings, but it prints over my object lines in effect hiding them. This is even true if a reference part is hidden. Then hidden line will print over the object lines as well.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart Dimension To Unresolved Reference Geometry

Sep 2, 2009

I am having trouble with Iparts getting a red cross due to dimensions and constraints to unresolved reference geometry. If, for example, I have Hole 2 dimensioned from Hole 1 in one member and in another member I suppress Hole 1 and Hole 2 I get an error stating (correctly) that the sketch for Hole 2 has a "Dimension to unresolved reference geometry". I understand why I should get this error if Hole 2 was unsuppressed and Hole 1 was suppressed but why do I get this error when they are both suppressed.

If I get this error on a member that has these two holes suppressed and I switch back to a member that has them both active the error dissapears. I guess in the end this is a question for Autodesk. Can you set up Iparts so that when a feature is suppressed Inventor completely ignores it instead of still trying to resolve it. This functionality is a major headache for us because we don't want to leave models with the Red Cross on but if we want to dimension our features appropriately (ie referencing other, related features) we have to leave a model with errors in it.

See attached part. If you switch within the first 2 members there are no errors, if you move into the last 2 members you will see the cross highlight.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating A Single Line Or Stick Font For Machining

Dec 11, 2013

Is there any way to create a single line stick type font in inventor. Everything comes in as a box type which is not ideal for selecting geomety once imported into cam software for machining/engraving. The model text will be extruded/embossed, but it it possible to get single line text in a dwg or idw that will import into cam software. It would be nice to be able to import the text from a inventor dwg,idw to a different level in mastercam to save time from having to redraw all the text in the cam software.

Illustrator :: Changing Size Of Object Doesn't Stick?

Aug 23, 2013

Tricky one to add a title for but if I am resizing an object precisely using the W Value and H Value fields, for some reason the size I enter then changes. So, for example, I have an object that is 57.15mm wide. I then change that value to 57mm but when I click return it then changes back to the 57.15mm value. This appears for all other values. So if I change it to 60mm it then changes it to 59.972 mm
 
Not really sure what setting I have that's making it do this. My document is set up in mm.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Information To Object Geometry

Mar 12, 2012

I'm making a surface out of contours. The problem is the contours have the elevation listed under object information, not geometry (the contours were brought in from a GIS file, which I do not have access to, or I would bring them in again with the elevations properly assigned, this is not an option). How can I quickly change the geometry elevation property to match the miscellaneous property?

Maya Modeling :: Hiding Inner Geometry?

Jul 24, 2011

Say I have a car engine that I created. to make it easier on myself I made it out of a bunch of separate pieces. then at the end I combined them into one. somewhere down the line I'll want to animate the pieces separately, but until then I dont want all that inner geometry rendering because it takes up unnecessary render time. is there a function in maya where I can delete all invisible mesh geometry? so then any faces inside the outermost shell will be deleted.

Maya Animation :: Unable To Play Camera Sequence

Nov 18, 2011

I've tried deleting all preferences. I was working with the camera originally then suddenly the keyframes wouldn't appear as red lines (there was only 1 camera) and appeared blank, i deleted these 'blank' keyframes and ever since I've been unable to play the entire camera sequence, the timeline simply sits at 0. I've tried a new camera with it's own keyframing but to no avail, it refuses to play.

edit: I just tried in a new scene also, same problem. It's making it near impossible to preview animations in real-time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Object Reference Not Set To Instance Of Object

I get the following exception message while debugging, after pasting VBA code into my vb.net project:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Without going to specifics yet, I commented-out ObjectCollections and the error happened further down in the class.

Is there a different way ObjectCollections are handled in a vb.net class, versus a VBA module?
