I am currently designing a new map for a planet i am designing, however i want to add some city lights to it so in the dark, it looks like it is actually populated, much like most pictures of the earth, showing both the light and dark side (because of my post count i can't insert a link to an image but hopefully you get what i mean) .
At the moment i don't have any lights, how do i get this effect.
I've taken some time to follow some tutorials and I think I've become pretty decent at making planets over all. However, I decided to try and create a city planet, but I don't know exactly how to execute it.
By city planet, I mean something that looks like Coruscation from Star Wars. I've tried making circular and ovular patters, but they don't turn out right when I render the 3d effect. Also, the texture just doesn't seem to come out as smooth as the one in the picture.
I'd like to increase the lights' intensity of a picture I took to the Manhattan skyline during late evening, creating halos around them
I tried with the Gaussian Blur and Diffuse Glow filters but with no satisfying results...
I am trying to get the effect of a planet getting to close to the sun,ready to explode.
I've seen many tutorial about exploding planet, but I want to make the effect
second before it explode.
I know this is probably 3d modeling but i wanna know if anyone has seen that building texture where it only shows the lights?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a question concerning the symbols on map. You see, I'm making a world map in Photoshop (atlas style), and I am wondering what to use as map symbols (for city sizes and such). So I settled for the standard ones (image below), but how to make these, or how to start making these.
Should I use the brush tool, or perhaps the custom shape tool (what is the difference between those two?), or something entirely else?
Don't say "Why don't you just copy the icons?", because they are kind of low-res and I really want to learn this myself.
How can I create the pattern in the image below? It's not the green gradient obviously . I saw it on a website and found it interesting. It's supposed to resemble a city map.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get a planet to just spin continuously around - which I can do with a timeline animation - unfortunately the animation starts slowly at the beginning and slows down at the end - even if I loop it.
How do you get it to smoothly rotate forever without speeding up and slowing down. Someone mentioned using the graph editor - but as I said I am new to this.
Is there a tutorial for this sort of thing. I have done a lot of googling without any success.
I am having issues with the Material editor in 3ds max design 2011. I am creating a solar system as a school project. My planets follow a circle spline. I put textures on the planets in material editor to resemble the planet texture. My problem is, the texture is not sticking to the planet. The sphere itself follows the circle spline and makes 1 complete rotation around the circle spline in 87 frames and the sphere spins 2 complete times showing all sides of the sphere as it follows the spline. However, when i render it, I see the same side of the texture on the sphere on every frame.
Apon opening the zip File, look for the planet called Mercury. While toying with the timeline, you will notice that the planet follows the spline around the sun, as well as spins on its Z axis. But in the render, the planet does not move on its Z axis. It follows the spline, but does not spin like it does while in the design stage.solarsystem2.zip
I'm trying to create a "blue glow/light rays" around an image of the planet Earth and I can't just seem to make it look realistic like this image here:
How to do this technique? You can find a planet earth image by searching for NASA BLUE MARBLE and it's free.
I've tried to create a rotating Planet for my program ( the rotation itself is fine... but it feels like the image is moving left inside a circle frame ) . I was told I need to add depth, bump so to say. I've tried to add a bit of bumpmap with gimp
Filter-> Map -> Bumpmap . Azimuth = 134, Elevation = 46, Depth = 15, Waterlevel = 87, Ambient = 57 .
But it does not feel round... I'm obviously no expert at Gimp. What should I do with the following image to make it feel more round, the center should feel like it's higher...and the corners should feel like they are going around to the back.
I am using 2012 and rendering with Mentalray. Any procedure that would allow one to create the atmospheric glow that is present in photos of the Earth from space. Usually the glow is just seen on the horizon line. If I tried to create a volume light out of an omni, it would tend to wash out the globe. any links to a more photo-realistic unwrapped Earth textures than those that I was able to Google up.

The planet surface texture is a flat space view map. Usually when I apply images like these to spheres it perfectly wraps however this time it is confining the image to one "corner" of the sphere.
I've downloaded some texture maps of Earth and Mars that consist of a number of JPG images that are all 1024 pixels square. What I want to do, and I've tried and failed so far, is to combine the separate images to make one big map of the planet surfaces. I assume this will be possible by tiling the images.
I've had a google around but can't find any tutorials related to combining sections of a map together.
need to draw the map of a city, roads, streets, squares, roundabouts and the like. I remember a command of parallel lines in autocad to to this, but that was years ago... so how to map the city...

I just tried to make one. It didn't go so well.
So, my question: how would I go about making one of these? What would I use to draw the buildings? (Line tool leaves jagged edges at 1 when trying to color.)
i am trying to copy couple of manholes from one city map to another one. But, for some reason when i go to clipboard, and click on Copy with base point. Go on to the 2nd file and click paste. It doesn't work!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently drawing a map. It is going to be a detailed one. I wonder if i could make small town names disappear while zooming out and at the same time big city names emerge. And contrarily make disappear big city names while zooming in and emerge small town names. I want it to make similar with the application that google map uses. Can we do that with autocad?

Let's i want to make a leaf shaped town such that it can have any desired area e.g. 800 acre with the same dimension like the leaf that added below. While experimenting with arc tool I've so far been able to do it but i would like to know the exact ways to do it.

I have searched for hours and can't seem to find anything that resembles my scenario, although I'm sure that I'm probably just not looking for the right thing in the right place.
Ive had a look around the forum and done a few searches but have been unable to find any reference to creating the effect of Ultraviolet lights, or black light.
im designing a space in 3d studio max and want to light portions of it in UV. ive no idea how to create this in MAX so i thought i may be able to apply it to the renders in PS.
im after that lighting effect where a tube casts a violet light and makes whites and certain colors fluoresce and glow brightly.
how do i make a name look as if its lit up and made from lots of light bulbs?

Its found in: Render>lighting effects area.. Then you can click the down menu and select it.

Was really wanting to get the first image at the end of a spotlight inserted in the second image of the city off in the distance. Kind of like how the batman symbol is in the spotlight. The symbol is my churches logo and was wanting to use it for our Instagram.

I cannot get any lights to appear in my 3d scenes until I begin rendering. I have installed all updates. In fact, this started when I installed the Creative Cloud update back in December. Also, how do I get rid of the annoying IBL preset?
