Photoshop :: Creating A Gleam Inside Of Letters

Jul 8, 2013

I've always been stumped with how to do this so thought I'd post it here.  I've typed up some text and then rasterized it.  Then I created a blank layer above it, highlighted the text below, then made the blank layer active and painted a shiny gleam over on the layer.  See below: 
 
However, when I move the gleam layer, it doesn't just float over and within the letters below it.  I obviously know why and that's because the gleam layer is above the text layer:
 
So basically what I want to be able to do is when move that gleam layer, I want the gleam to float over the logo but stay within the letters so it looks like the logo has a shine over it.  If I knew how to do this, I could create animated GIFs and even export the files into Premiere or whatever.
 
Tell me the best way to do this in PSD CS4?

Illustrator :: Placing Image Inside Text But Want Letters To Have Outlines?

Sep 13, 2013

I'm trying to create a logo whose letters have an image in them - which I've got figured out (turning letters to outlines, creating clipping mask with image). The trouble is, once the image is inside the letters, I can't figure out how to then give the letters a thin stroke outline. Is this possible? The image I've placed is high contrast black and white, so when I create the clipping mask, large chunks of the letters disappear.

Illustrator :: 3D Letters With A Black Inside Stroke - Adjusting Cap / Limit?

Aug 14, 2013

I've got some letters with a black inside stroke. These are 3D letters, therefore the stroke must be in the inside otherwise it spills out the edges if I put it outside or centered.
 
I've tried adjusting the cap/limit and all other options on the stroke menu without luck How can I fix these corner errors? I'm on Illustrator CS5.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Proxy Of Workplane Inside Pattern / Inside Part / Inside An Assembly

Oct 14, 2013

There are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
 
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Creating Text Inside A Power Clip

Sep 27, 2012

I am completely baffled by what is happening to my text. I am using a Windows 7, 64 bit computer and CorelDraw X6, and am trying to create a 3" round button graphic. About two weeks ago, I created a photo button and wanted to put white text on top of the button. This worked fine, and I sent the proof to the client.

They wanted to change the text and so I went in to change the text to what they wanted. That's when things went weird... Now, when I retype the text to insert it on the round path, I position it and then when I click off the text, the text is no longer white, but rather it has an orange outline and no fill! 

I look at the color boxes and yes, the fill is white with no outline. I am no expert by far, but have been using Corel for many years. I do notice that whenever Windows does their little "updates" my computer gets wonky and they did about two of those updates in the last two weeks.

Today, I did a system restore back to 9/12/12, but it is still happening.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Inside Masks On Surfaces

Sep 19, 2013

I'm modeling a couple different alternatives, and I want to make an inside mask on EG where my FG surface will be.

Is my workflow the problem, or are surface masks just buggy? 

I've created three EG surfaces, EG-1, EG-2, and EG-3.  I pasted the dref'd EG into each one, so now I have three copies of EG, one for each design option.  Each surface is on its own layer.

I have three FG surfaces, one for each design, FG-1, FG-2, FG-3.  I want to use the outer border of each FG in turn to make an inside mask for its respective EG surface. I can make one, masking FG-1 out of EG-1.  When I move on and try to make the mask for FG-2 to mask EG-2, no mask is created. Is it not working because I pasted the same original EG into each of the three EG option surfaces? Do I need to promote the original dref'd EG and copy it two more times, so each mask is applied to a completely unique surface?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Cross Section Views (Sheets) / Set Margin Inside Viewport?

Mar 12, 2013

When creating cross section views ("Home>Section Views>Create Multiple Views"), my sections are being placed at the exact boundary of the viewport (viewport is per my template).

Surely there's a way to create a margin inside the viewport.

Here's a screen shot of what I'm seeing.  Notice how the dotted "Plot Area Boundary line is going right thru the left axis labels and on top of the bottom axis blue line (which means the bottom axis labels will NOT be seen).

Illustrator :: Draw Inside Not Working Inside Expanded Shape

Dec 3, 2010

I really enjoy this new draw inside feature in Illustrator. But, I find that it does not always work. It seems to be grayed out sometimes. For example, I have drawn a shape with my Wacom tablet using a blush.  I then converted it to a shape instead of keeping it a stroke by expanding it. But it will not allow me to now draw inside of it, even though it is a shape.

3ds Max :: How To Light A Sphere From Inside To See Inside Surface

Oct 17, 2011

I have a really large sphere and have put a camera on the inside to see the inside surface. I have used the normal modifier to flip the normals and so have the skin on the inside. Something is going very wrong at this point because I have this ugly shadow line that I cannot get rid of and I also seem to not be able to light this interior, when I use an omni light it makes no difference. Where am I going wrong?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Bold Text Inside Viewport And Slim Text Inside Paperspace?

Feb 8, 2013

I have this strange situation.. i use the Arial font inside my cad drawings and when i print my paperspace layout, the text inside the viewport is a little bit more "bold" then the text i put directly on paper space.

Maybe it's a trick to know what text is placed where, but i want all this to be uniform, same thickness. Is there a system variable to correct that issue?

See the image below: It's a 400 DPI scan from an impression i did.

Up to COUPE C1 is the text inside the viewport, under COUPE C1is the paperspace text. Both are the same height... but difference tickness.

Photoshop :: Fuzziness Around Edges Of Letters

Jul 22, 2013

If you look at my website, [URL] ... you'll see that the title in the header is kind of fuzzy around the edges of the letters. I created it in Photoshop, and I cannot seem to get the edge's sharp and clear no matter what I do in Photoshop. It also doesn't seem to make any difference if I save it as a .PNG or a .jpg. I have tried re-doing it from scratch several times, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've created other header titles in Photoshop that have come out clear and sharp and I haven't done anything any differently.

Photoshop :: Earthquake Animates Into Letters

Jul 14, 2006

If you have read my previous topic on my 'jzrith' account, then you may all know that I'm just starting out as an amateur and unprofessional graphic designer. However, I've met a band who is looking for a banner for their site, and they don't have much money, so in exchange for money, I asked for publicity and some shout outs from them when they get the chance to give some away.

They're looking for a banner that probably most people pay for it to do. They want a banner that has the size of a sig. They want their band picture in the background, and the animation of a blue guitar smashing into something, and that smashing ripples a quake, and that quake ripples letters from something and it turns into the letters 'one last trip'.

Their request was very vague, and my photoshop is limited. However, I took the request upon thinking some one here will help me generate this banner for the band. It will give me good publicity for my skills, but I also need help in making this.

What I'm really thinking hard of doing is the smashing of the blue guitar and that generates a 'quake' and the quake smashes into something that turns into the band's name's letters. I have no idea on how to do it because I have only some experience in Adobe Imageready. I'm not even sure if I need Imageready for this, but Macromedia Flash!
