View 5 Replies View Related3ds Max :: How To Use Cubemap For Reflections When Using Scanline Renderer
Apr 9, 2011I understand that cubemaps are primarily used in realtime applications, like game engines, but is there a way to use a cubemap for reflections when using the scanline renderer? I loaded a cube map into the environment map slot, but you can see the black areas around the cross of the cube map in the reflections.
I also tried making a big inverted cube, and mapping the cube map to that. It sort of works, but the reflections aren't nearly as vivid as they were when I used the map as the environment. I disable cast & receive shadows on the cube. Not sure what the best way to go about this is.
3ds Max :: Scanline Render 10 Times Slower In Version 2012
Aug 31, 2012I have a strange problem with Max 2012. Scanline renderer is 10 times slower than 3ds max 2009. Why is that? All the settings are the same. Also, the rendered frame window is very slow too - when I pan around there is a horrible delay/stuttering whereas in Max 2009 I can pan around in real time.

Sep 14, 2012When using floating windows for images it is very straightforward to copy content from one image to the other.With docked windows in cs6 there's of course the duplicate layer-feature but there's certainly also a drag and drop method. But how to get this to work? I tried dragging Layers and Ctrl-tabbed, I dragged the Layers onto the tab of another image and tried so by holding all sorts of modifier-key.combinations.No avail. So what was the correct way to copy from one image to another by using Drag and Drop?

View 6 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Displace Filter Alternative Implementation?
Oct 4, 2012In my work I am using Displace (Filter>distort>displace) filter to create fake parallax shift, to create stereograms. I make two copies of image- one using positive-value horizontal displace filter, the other negative. When viewing those images as stereoscopy pair, you perceive them as projected on 3D surface defined by grayscale displacement map (a.k.a. depth-map).
My problem is highly specific: I need to be able to precisely control which pixels are displaced and by what ammount (ammount defined by greyscale value of map pixels). Current implementation of displace filter makes if very difficult.
My goal is this: every pixel of image will be shifted left or right by distance defined by greyscale value of directly underlying depth-map pixel.
The way actual displacement filter works can be described as such: If depth-map pixel is <50%grey, it 'fetches' and becomes bitmap pixel from left. If depth-map pixel is >50%grey, it 'fetches' and becomes bitmap pixel from right.As a result-I cannot, by comparing image pixels with underlying depth-map pixels predict what distance will given image pixel travel. Shift distance is not defined by directly underlying dept-map pixel. Instead, image pixel is 'fetched' by undefined depth-map pixel.
I realise it is highly specific requirement without an easy answer. I am willing to spend long time working on software side if need be and learn in process. I am becoming quite proficient in scripting (JavaScript). I need to know where to start and if there is a solution simpler than coding new filter from scratch.I am using Photoshop CS6 and work cross-platform (primarily windows).

Nov 14, 2013what will be better than GIMP (Linux) for this type of workflow:fast processing of the tens of files, jpg to jpg: open, levels, sometimes color rorrection, scale, unsharp, export as jpg with web setting, not camera settings.
For now, GIMP is my main program because of familiar look and easyness of use, but it was designed for an opposite use, and is counter-productive for this kind of workflow.
Here is link to what use it was intended for vs similar to mine workflow: [URL] And similar to mine problem experienced by another user: [URL]
So far I went through:

AutoCAD .NET :: Alternative To Dynamic Blocks
May 17, 2013I currently have dynamic blocks that I insert into a drawing. Grip points modify them.
Ideally the user can stretch the inserted objects without needing the grip points so that they behave like normal drawing entities.
If I apply parametric constrains to a set of objects and GROUP them, the object behaves the way I want but I don't know how to insert the group or reference its properties. There are no parametric dimensions in the properties pane when a constrained group is selected. Is there an alternative to Block and Group that would allow this?
GIMP :: Alternative To Layer Masks?
Nov 24, 2012You know how you can add a 'layer mask' to a layer and then apply various shades of grey to the mask to alter the transparency of the layer.
For some work I find this awkward as you cant see what your doing on the layer mask (or have a missed a trick here). Are there any alternatives? I would be nice if there was a blend mode to make one layer alter the transparency of the layer below.
CorelDRAW Technical Suite X6 :: Alternative For 2D Architecture
Jul 13, 2013Although it may sound strange for 2D projects and rapid technical presentation drawings I have for many years used CorelDraw. I like the ease of use and usability. The problem is the speed and response program for complex drawings. That does not compare to AutoCAD or similar (Archicad, Allplan, etc.). Closest to my idea of approaching is Vectorworks. The price is also important. I welcome the mentioned speed, simplicity, 100% import-export DWG, opportunities to work with bitmaps.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPaint.NET :: Alternative Locations For Plugins / Palettes
Jan 7, 2014Nowadays you see programs that install in the
C:users[username]AppDataLocal or C:Users[username]AppDataRoaming folder, rather than c:program files.
I have mixed feelings about this, because it confuses me where a particular program is installed. But I do understand the benefits.
Installation in c:program files requires administrator rights, whereas installation in the AppData can be done without (administrator rights).
The same counts for pdn plugins. Currently they need to be placed in c:program filesPaint.Netplugins, which can only be done with administrator rights. In a strictly managed environment I'd need to ask my system administrator to add a few plugins to the pdn install folder structure. (Really, our system administrator can not be bothered with such trivial requests ;-)
But if there was a secondary location where plugins can reside,
e.g. C:users[username]AppDataRoamingPaint.NetPlugins
Then any (low-rights) user could add his own plugins to an existing Paint.Net installation without the involvement of an administrator. Wouldn't that be great?
Maybe such a scheme could be included in the upcoming PDN 4?
Illustrator :: Alternative To Save For Web / Export As CSS Layers?
May 22, 2013I'm am SO DEVASTATED that CS6 got rid of the option to save as CSS layers in Save for Web. I just updated from 5 to 6 and now I'm looking for an alternative but am having no luck. I've tried some scripts I've found online but none of them work the way I need, or at all.
I do animation in AI where each layer is a frame on the animation. In CS5 I could Save for Web and check the Export as CSS Layers box. This would export all the layers in my AI file to pngs, where each layer is it's own png file, in one folder. I could then import them as an image sequence in Photoshop and turn layers on and off with each frame to create my animation.
I tried exporting my AI file to a PSD file with maximum editability but the more complicated the animation (meaning the more layers and the more objects on each layer) it would start flattening layers without warning. Not to mention the rendering time just opening the file in Photoshop and then trying to save it there once I had created all my frames. Photoshop froze on me 6 times this morning while I was trying things out.
I'm desperate for a simple way to do the CSS layer trick. If I can't find one, I'm going to have to go back to CS5 permanently, or until I can find a solution.

Illustrator :: Alternative Way Of Adding Same Stroke To Actual Fill Of A Shape
Nov 2, 2013I want to use a 3rd party brush to 'color in' parts of a drawing or paint the background so it has a nice effect.However, when I use the brush tool to add color it reacts in an odd way as seen in the snapshot. I've looked at the brush options but am unsure of what will make a difference. Is there a way of devoting more ram to the program when I'm using it?
Is there an alternative way of adding the same stroke to the actual fill of a shape? At the moment all of my fill colors are block colors rather than having a kind of chalk / pastel texture that I can get with the brush. Basically, I would like to fill shapes with textured color rather than flat color.

Mar 13, 2012We've just started using an attribute in a dynamic block and I'm curious if there is a faster way to edit the text, like how you just click outside the dtext or mtext editor to save and exit. the editor.
We only need to edit the value field, not any of the other attritubes. I really like how the dynamic block is saving us some time, but the outdated editor is really irritating, and it's not always convenient to hit Tab then Enter on the keyboard.
Is there perhaps an alternate editor, or a way I can edit the value text in the mtext editor by default rather than opening up the Enhanced Attribute Editor?
