how to control the AO map, I want to extract?
I have a character that gets so much shadows from the own body (under chin, under arms, betweens legs) and I want to restrict this with a shorter ray, so AO calculation stops "behind the wrinkles", understand?
But no matter what search distance I set, what mode I use, I always get the same useless result.
After extraction displacement map from hi-res model, map has a very low detail, but model is very detailed. What is wrong?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to extract a vector displacement map out of three objects.
All three of them are on the same UV tile, with no overlap between each other.
All three of them have the same subdivision level and share the same Mudbox material.
I choose "Generate one map for all targets".
When hitting extract, Mudbox tells me that :
"Subdivision based map extraction is available only when the number of source and target meshes are the same".
Well its the case. With the same order in target and source models (A-B-C)
Is it possible to selectively extract(apply disp to a mesh) tiles ala cyslice? If not...it would be very useful to have.
In my new little experience with other use of mudbox other that sculpting I still find it somewhat limited compared to cyslice. Also the extraction progress UI is quite buggy to me (at least it looks like it on my machine) as it doesnt update the status...and therefore you would think that the extraction process isnt working, but then, checking the directiory where the files are supposed to be saved, MB is actually doing the job.
And about the transfer detail to a new topology, is it possible to do it selectively? I ve tried to freeze, hide, areas that I dont want to transfer the detail to but nothing..still the whole thing gets transferred.
How to get the Zbrush 'Roll' effect on Mudboxs brush alphas? Here's a link to what I'm referring to:

I'm using cad 2013 and my boss needs something that appears smaller as it fades into the distance. it has occurred to me that I've always looked past the fact that autocad makes everything the same size (i.e. any circle drawn at 90mm will look the same in front view no matter how far you space them in top view). So the program doesn't give the natural "fading into the distance" effect. is there a way to make it look more realistic using a view or rendering or something that I am unaware of?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have many pictures (about 10'000). Now i need a search (smart search) with pictures where only my mother (is marked)
On all my pictures each person is tagged. For my mother the Person Tag is called "mother"
I created a saved search with the criteria Person include "mother". The problem now is that also pictures are shown with my mother and other persons. But i would like only pictures from my mother without other persons. Something like... "Person is mother and not person "sister" and not person "friends" etc.
I'm using Lightroom 5.2RC. Not sure if this started happening with the 5.2RC version or if it's been an issue for a while.
While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.
Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people. I tag each person in each photo. I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it. I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed. On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”. The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture.
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type? If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.
I have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.
To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

apolyton.net/civ4/files/info-images/agade.png
As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.
Is there any way of displaying the geodetic distance(ie "mapdist") with the dimension tool instead of the normal distance?

I would like to draw a smiple line using the transparent command 'AD (angle-distance).
My distance is not horz., so I want to enter the Vertial angle and the slope-distance, in LLD the command was AD VD.
So how do you do this in Civil 3D 2012.
I would consider myself intermediate photoshop, but to the photoshop community most likely a nub. anyways, I have been trying with different ways to extract this breaker from an image, with all attempts looking edgy and not professional.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just tried a demo of OnOne's MaskPro 4. Although I've got to spend some time with it, it appears that this may be the answer to the 'background removal' issue we all wrestle with. It's features may already exist in some other extraction plug-ins,
but they're new to me. Following their tutorial movies, I was able to eliminate a complex background and maintain at least 80% of the hair detail. I'm sure that once I get a feel for what I'm doing with it I'll be able to hold 95-98%.
I had a picture of some flowers that I took and I thought they came out pretty nice but the background was a mess. I have extracted before, many times but not really much with the extract tool. So I decided to give myself a project and to extract this picture using the extract tool and the history brush which I also never use. I knew these tools were available but always took alternate routes to extract.
I also sharpened the flowers, etc. It took me quite a while but it was a fun and educational project and I wanted to share my results and get some opinions. Here are the 2 pics, any comments are appreciated as I would really like to be able to master this technique. If you click on the extracted image you can see a bigger version of it.
If you had this picture how would you extract the person from it..(show sample)
I know its low-res, pixelated at the edges, the works but assume this is the job you got...
I've been giving it a run most of the afternoon just as a exercise on low res extractions which is often the case for me...I am normally ok at low-res extractions.
I just got Photoshop a couple of days ago and I even bought the book Photoshop for Dummies and I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a photo of my boyfriend and one of his grandfather and I want to cut both their faces out and paste them onto one pic with some kind of backround. Maybe do something like they're looking into a mirror of eachother. Anyways I can't even ficure out how to cut their faces off.
Many times after extracting an object, I will have some issues. The bulk of what I wanted to extract is there, but sometimes the borders and edges of the object are sketchy and in some cases transparent. What is the best way to get a more accurate extraction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve setup some blocks which have attributes and have been successfully using a template to extract the data for a while. I just created a new block and tried extracting the data. All works fine except for BL:NAME returns '*U' instead of the block name. The block is called 'SM'. Is '*U' a code for something?
The old blocks still export fine.
how to crop a section of an image and paste it into another picture. Im pretty lamen when it comes to PS so the easier the better. What i am trying to acheive and learn, is to outline the shape of an item in a picture and copy that shape to the clipboard, to paste onto another picture. EG in the pic below id like to separate the BARN and GRAIN SILO form the background, so that i can paste it into another pic.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to work with another artist at a graphic design firm and he showed me a really cool way to put like an empty black, blurred mask behind people cutout or extraction which gave an illusion of depth. The mask really helped make the subject not look like an obvious knockout. He went through the steps and I should heave written it down, but failed to do so and lost the techniques.
I have been experiementing with doing a female model with flowing hair, like you see on the better fashion mags, saving the sel in channels and doing my editing there. Then I have tried using channel copies and using layer masks and it's still not the trick or result the PS artist was doing.
how I might be able to pull this masking technique out of the hat?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently upgraded to 2013 but when I follow exactly the same Attribute Extraction process as used in 2012LT, the output throws out some duplicates and does not even process other data. I've been through the drawing thoroughly turning layers on/off and deleting text to try and suss out the problem but it just seems like a fault with the command.
Incidentally, I've extracted data from the same drawing in 2012 and 2013, and it all works fine in 2012.
I am working on a co-ordinate utility that utilises data extractions. I am able to extract the data that I want to an XML file, but how do I create a dxe file and link it to a table? I have found the WizardSettings has a table style, but that is as far as I have reached.My code is below.

I have a favor to ask. In my drawings i have two distinct layer names (Say "ew" and "ns"). On these layers i have numerous plain text numbers in 5mm increments which are repeated many times throughout the drawing. What i would like to do is be able to start a VBA macro, have it ask the user to select an area by window on the drawing file, and have VBA look up and count the sum of all instances of each number occurring in the selected window. Then dump them into an excel spread sheet which i will then manipulate from there. An example output would look something like below: "NS" Layer Quantities... Height 25 30 35 40 45 and so on Total 56 33 62 39 50 "EW" Layer Quantities... Height 25 30 35 40 45 and so on Total 56 33 62 39 50 The ouput would require two rows of information. The top number would be the number on the drawing as text item and the lower row would be the total number of times that number appears in the selected area.

Then, if you make changes to the door or window you can click the "Download Changes From Source File" and it will update the table ... However, after saving it and trying to work on it the next day, it somehow unlinks the table I have in my drawing and I cannot "Download Changes From Source File" to update the table ... I checked under XREF and it shows it is loaded and I have it reading from the same path I saved it. I would like to know if there is a way to re-link the table to the .dxe file or how to prevent from it un-linking new tables?
