I have a photograph of a steam train, which i am editing for my grandfather, and i wanted to add a few smaller pictures in the 'steam' from the train? Ideally i was hoping to put 3 or 4 pictures in 'clouds of steam' if that would work?
I have uploaded a pic of a similar train picture, and may even use the steam from it, as it is fuller than the one i will be using.
way to easly make steam appear (say from a coffee cup etc.) in photoshop 6 ? (lame as it sounds i have been using photoshop since 3.0 and never tried to do this LOL bad PS user bad bad bad!)
I would like to display an image behind an image in the area that I selected only. Does that make sense? Let's say I have a picture where the sky looks white and I want to add blue sky with clouds from another image exactly where the sky should be. Is that easy to accomplish?
I select the horizontal type tool and have my font in black but everything I type is invisibe. in the text box. I have added text to pictures before doing this but never had this problem. is there some setting i goofed.
How to make it blend in so you can't even tell it was Photoshopped into the picture. I use the magnetic lasso but there are always areas where it isn't smooth or part of the background is showing. Especially the hair.
On top of that it will be better or worse quality than the picture I'm adding it to. Or it will be darker or lighter, etc etc.
Creating a collage. Just placed a new object with a layer mask. Now I need to create a hue/saturation, levels adjustment layer and color balance adjustment layer all with masks. Ok, no problem, but when I do this, my original picture turns black and white.
I would like to add in the right down corner, the file name of the picture.... I did it in the past under Picture Lab but I do not know how to do it under VideoStudio... Is it possible ?
How do you add a "pattern" to a frame around a picture. The reason I ask, is when you go to make a frame around something, it asks you what "color" you desire. I don't want a "color", I want a "pattern" (the birch wood pattern).
Is there a way to add a "photo frame" to a picture? Like, is there a library or set of frames that can be used on the edges of pictures in a simple click or two?
I am wanting "pretty" frames for adding photos to printed coffee mugs etc.
I have edited a map and a train image which is fine when applied and the preview works fine but as soon as I create the rendered video the path and the train image have moved to a position further down the map, how to see the path and train image in the right place.
I have a basic train that I am doing for a project at school. I am doing a fairly advanced extension of this project for some extra credit and I am wishing to make this train be animated.
Since my first name is Jackson, I decided early on to make a track design in the shape of a J (bubble letter). In my class, the only requirement was to make the train go in a straight line.
What I have now: I have two assemblies of both a train, and one of my track design. My thoughts on how to do this. I thought it would be possible to make the train follow a path or something to that effect.
how to change a train's livery (colour) to another colour that I created with a template livery I made in an external program, leaving in things like windows and reflections in there, but in the new colour.
The problems generally happen with vehicles with multiple colours As an example of what I mean, I'd like to change the colour of this [URL] into something like [URL] I've been looking at various tutorials about how to do this, including many youtube videos, which detail how to change the colours of cars, but they mainly involve anther way including the colorize, which would do the entire vehicle based on HUE, which in this case, wouldn't work due to the multiple colours / shade the original vehicle has, including text.
Other methods use hard light to project various external images onto the body, but this mainly has a large amount of colour fluctuation with the new paint. This method generally gives the best impact when the entire image is white, doesn't say much when I am trying to preserve things like reflections and shading.
I have been trying to make a train that i made roll on a track. I have seen youtube videos of people who have made their train go around a track (I have the same dimensions as the people in the video through project lead the way).
I have the train constrained to the track with a tangent constraint. How to make the wheels turn on the track (i know how to make the wheels turn, i just do not know how to make all the wheels turn in unison/together and how to make them actually move along the track instead of make the wheels turn in place.
I have tried in vain to construct a planetary gear train in Inventor 2011 & the spur gear generator hasn't work much since the results are far from good, I have problems getting all the gears to fit together. The Internal gear has a diametrical pitch of d=120mm & the smallest gear a diametrical pitch of d=20mm, the outcome should produce a 6:1 gear ratio. The 3 other gears only offer stabillity, but I still need to know how I get it all to fit together with my measurements?
I'm trying to reskin an train engine for my Trainz simulator I use.I can do the basics. I am stuck on adding color.When I add the color to the train engine, I loose all the detail on the engine. See attached photo. I try the wand but it unpredictable it's goes where ever it wants to.
Have been out on the transit job for over a year and finally got time to convert the old primitive track line type to actual rails, ties, and clamps. But this has also added a lot of items to the base file. I opted to use it as an xref instead to improve data speed, but lately it has been taking 2+ minutes to load the file referencing the tracks as an xref.
I need to rig two objects together that follow one another the same way a train car or truck-trailer rig would. I've Googled for days and have tried several different constraint and skeleton options but haven;t been able to figure this out yet.
I am trying to rotate a set of wheels that are moving like a locomotive train wheel and having problems. I was able to animate the wheels to move like a locomotive wheel by linking and turning off the z axis inherit for the red rod (see attached images. Image ex04.jpg.)
The problem came when it was time to rotate the whole thing. I grouped everything and rotated the wheels around as a group. As the red rod had is z axis inherit turned off once it started to detach from it location(ex06.jpg), which was kind of expected.
I am not sure what to do to solve this problem. Do i create a bone structure with IK handles to resolve this problem or is there something else better to solve this problem?
I have a video clip of a train moving across the tracks. The camera also pans to follow the path of the train. I want text to sit on the top of the first car of the train as its travels from left to right.
I used Track Camera and then parented text to the Null object.
The problem is that the text has to adjust in size and perspective as the train moves along.
I have tried keyframing these options but the result appears jittery and jumpy as if the text is dancing on top of the train.
The text should be the exact width of the first train.
Tiny in the distance and then large as it approaches cameras.
Also, there appears to be a bug with the text object not displaying the font correctly. I have tried many fonts and each appears inconsistent. I have attached a screen grab.
The red text is how the characters should appear given my font choice. The red is NOT tied to the null object; its just a text layer. The black font is tied to the null object. You can obserce that certain characters are bold and others not. Overall this looks nothing like the font is supposed to appear.
Please note that both titles are the same font. password for the vimeo clip is : train-tracker
what i want to do is to draw a line that represents a train trace over the ground. I started using the camera tracker and creating a null and a camera and then got lost.
See Attached photo. I can do the color black on top yellow on the bottom half. what is the best way to do the red line that separates the yellow from the black.
I am using CS and the “blend” tool to create a train track but I cannot seem to get the spacing to look right. I tried adding a 3rd railroad tie in the middle but that didn’t work either. How I can get more spacing in the foreground and less in the distance?
Im working on a miniature train project of PLTW... I have completed the train and made a track for it... but i can't figure out how to create a drive/motion constraint that would make it go along the track.
(All the files are in a zip folder that is attached)
PS... if you go to this youtube video you can see what im trying to do: [URL].......
