How to you warp text onto a plane in 3D space? In other words, have it presented at an angle as if it were on a grid where the vertical lines converged to a vanishing point.
I have been playing with Maya and Photoshop inorder to create an icon for the Web 2.0 revamping of my website. Here is a rough sketch of what I am trying to do:
It is a pseudo-globe coming out of a box in a way that it looks like a gift for the user.
The pseudo-globe will look something like this
And the box will be something like this
The logo will be in 3D and the words "Complete" and "Translations" will appear as if they are printed on the floor where the box rests against the edges of the box.
I imagine this must be an easy thing for many people here to answer. How do I do this? I have the basic forms already in Maya in the 3D space. How do I put the letters on the floor?
I'm trying to do, but it's horizontal. I need to do it vertically with the letters on top of each other, not with the letters turned sideways, as in the "vertical text tool"

How would you go about wrapping text around the hat in this picture? people on youtube post videos of wrapping around a circle or a cup. Any 4 year old can do that, the hat is at an AWKWARD angle and facing down at a prespective.
Whats the best way to warp my text just like 'OBEY' text and the quickest, I am struggling and getting nowhere.
I was wondering how I could go about warping the text only on one side like the "Red Ferret" in the image below? Is it all manually done?

how to place a 2 line text under a custom button.I tried to mimic some of the std button but it didn't work.
Attachment 1 is the std Tool Palette and User Interface buttons in the Manage Panels.
You can notice that the name is User Interface on the left and UserInterface on the right.
Attachment 2 is my button, on the left I CANNOT edit the name and on the right any changes automatically edit the left name.
At the end I would like my button the appears with one line: Extract and under Maint.

Using the 'Warp Text' dialog, and the Style 'Arc' one can warp the text upward. That is fine if one wishes to add text to the top of a circle but, how about warping that text downward so as to readable at the bottom.
one can rotate the image 180 degrees and put type at the bottom but, then it is readable only if one rotates the image.
The other warp options all distort the text if warping it downward so that is out.
I'm trying to warp a rectangular shape into something more arched, like the image below. There doesn't seem to be any transformation options under the Edit -> Transform menu. Can this be done? Can it be done to at least 180 degrees?

Have been using puppet warp with my current system config for a long time with no issues, and had, in fact, puppet warped several things just a few minutes prior with no issues. I have tried after restarting, using hardly any system resources, and with all other layers visible, and hidden. No matter what I try, as soon as I place the first pin, only the mesh remains and I can't see what I'm trying to warp at all. !
I am trying to make a film strip look like the river thames. i tried warping and this didn't work. i can use photoshop or illustrator.
so imagine a reel of film in the shape of the inner london river thames.
Any easy way to fit an image to path? fFor example, if I have a horizontal photo that is 10"long by 3" high, how can I warp/stretch/arc this imagr around a CD label so that the entire image wraps around the label?

If this can't be done in Photoshop 6.0, does anyone know of a simple freeware program that I can use to warp images "celebrity warp" style?
Does anyone have any advice on how to warp a logo to fit on a shot glass? I can't seem to get it so that it will curve and the writing still look straight on the glass.

I need ti to be a mesh where I can add as many control points as needed to reshape a photograph that I've taken of a building at a low angle that I want to look like I took it straight on. The Distort feature in photoshop does not give me enough distortion points.

How did they get the items - like the video frames in particular - to "wrap" around the globe like that? Perhaps Photoshop is not the right tool? I've seen this same effect with text and other images on various site, and I've always assumed it was done in Photoshop.
I'm working on a website with an image and film archive. I wanted to have a couple images for the entry pages that give the site a sort of archive-y, slightly cluttered and haphazard feel. I recently got Photoshop CS2 and have some experience using it and previous versions, though I'm not an expert designer by any means. The two things I'd like to do are:
1. Find a plugin/filter/process to make jpg photo images appear to be old photos sitting on the background. I.e. make them a little warped, give a sense of depth & slight shadow, maybe even a slightly tattered edge. Basically to give the viewer an impression of several photographs scattered on top of a surface (in this case, the white background), maybe some tossed partway on top of others.
2. For the film content, I wanted an image of a 16mm film strip with screen captures from the films displayed as if they were each frame. I can do this with an image of flat 16mm movie film with the screen caps sized to fit the frames, but I'd *really* like to make that film sort of wavy and/or looped. Is there a way to warp a flat image like that into something that looks convincingly wavy, as if the film was just taken out of the canister?
if i have say, a straight line, i extrude it, make it 3d, is there a way to warp it into a curvy shape or other swervy shape?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to make an intricate vector design look at is if it curved, like on the surface of a ball. BUT, I want to keep it editable. I tried the Warp tool first, but it made a mess, stirring up the shape rather than simply allowing me to curve it.
So I tried making a 3D sphere, then mapping it onto that. It worked, but now whenever I try to move or rotate the thing, it doesn't work right. Also, I can't tweak the design anymore.
Is there a way to have the bitmap fill of an object stretch a skew with the object as the handles are moved?

I've been a faithful photoshop user for quite some time now, but today I got wickedly impressed by this tiny software that features this awesome specular highlighting technique that photoshop does not do by default.This software is called "Art Text 2"H! I had prepared some image links but cause I'm so new I can't put them.[URL]...
As you can see, the bevel reflection is created using the specular information of the "sphere map". Furthermore the program allows you to change the sphere map highlights interactively, and even choose your own image sphere maps. This is just amazing, isn't it? Creating realistic metal text or things is just super easy with this. I think everyone of us has had problems doing realistic metal effects on photoshop, am I wrong?
In Photoshop you have the "bevel and emboss" style feature, and it works pretty well, but it isn't made for say: reflecting a window on the beveled text.Sphere maps are commonly used in gaming to simulate realistic reflection of 3d objects, and I can think of a million ways of using this technique on 2d. way of simulating this sphere map reflection on layers on Photoshop?
I'm using AutoCAD LT 2012 and our client doesn't want/like sheet sets.
One item I'd love to have is the pg. number automated. In the current title block it's just text not an attribute. Is there a way I can take only a part of the file name and insert it as a field?
For example, the file name is DW_12321_12.dwg the last part of the name is the sheet number. Can I exclude everything but the 12 and insert just that into the field?
I have some custom texts that I use. A week or two ago they started showing up looking different and certain symbols like ' weren't showing correctly (they were displaying ? instead).
When I went into Text Style, sure enough the style being used was pointing to a file that either didn't exist or wasn't the proper format. An example is that my HS text was pointing to the Font Name HS.TTF instead of Helvetica 53 Extended which is installed as one of my Windows Fonts. When I changed the Font Name to Helvetica 53 Extended everything looked okay again.
My problem is that even after hitting apply to this change and closing the Text Style form when I open a new drawing HS text is set back to HS.TTF and not displaying properly. How do I go about permanently changing this value back to what it should be, and how did it get changed in the first place?
I've been customizing acad.lin like a maniac for the last couple of days and there's a recurring problem that I can't resolve by myself.I have this line...
*EX-DASH,[G] Existing - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - -
A,.125,-.0625,0.127,-.254,["EX",STANDARD,S=.127,U=0,X=-.127,Y=-.0635],-.2,.125,-.0625,.125,-.0625
The result is similar to...
- - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - -
Let's say that the pattern of the line ("- - EX - -", because that's the part that's being repeated) takes 50 units to display at a given scale. I draw a PLINE and one section of the line is like 75 units long. If the line I'm drawing can't contain the pattern of my custom line, it won't display correctly. Given these numbers, the pattern would only display right once (75 / 50 = 1.5).
I get that and it's ok. HOWEVER, one thing I don't get is why autocad displays the pattern once and then fill the rest with a continuous line. It's okay for all my continuous custom lines with text because it keeps the same base line and it feels transparent (and it's also the reason I never realized it was reacting this way until I started working with dashed lines).
Example: I want to display "- - EX - - - - EX - -" but would only have space for "- - EX - - - - E". Acad will display "- - EX - -" once + continuous line for the remaining space.
I know that if there's no space to fit a second "EX" it can't be displayed, and that's all right, but how come it doesn't fill the rest of my line with dashes instead of a continuous line? With PLINEs, every time I turn a corner, I get this continuous line segment on each corner before it starts displaying the dashes (because I can't always draw lines that fits perfectly the pattern).
How to force it to display dashes when there's not enough space to repeat the pattern one last time?
I made a custom linetype to represent a pipeline. The line is abbreviated by 5 letters. My problem is when I reach and curve in the pipe (an elbow), the text string does not follow the curve. It remains straight for the remainder of the text. Is there a way (autocad 2013) to have the text follow the path of a curve?
edit: I saw one similar topic from 2008 in this thread: [URL] and the best response there is the one posted by eldon where you break the code down to each letter. Still, the picture in eldon's post makes the text a bit jagged. Have any changes been made to AutoCAD since this post that make this easier?
I made a custom line type called EX (for existing pipes) which looks a little bit like this: - - - EX - - - EX - - - EX - - -
Line works great when I draw from left to right. However, when I draw a line from RIGHT to LEFT, the text displays upside down a little bit like this: - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - ("3" representing the mirror image of "E")
Same applies when drawing from bottom to top, or top to bottom. I totally understand the behavior here, and TBH I think it's OK it behaves that way.
Let's say I'm drawing existing water pipes going in all directions with a polyline. Is there a way to make the text display upward no matter what direction the pline is going?

I was excited about the book module's "Save as Custom Page" as a solution to preview book we have our lab produce but it seems that several settings are not saved. My intention is for the file name to be under each image but the "Photo Text" checkbox does not stay enabled. Nor, do the zoom settings for the images boxes.
Does "save as custom page" only remember paddding settings and ignore everything else?
I am looking for assitance with the VB code to change the text style within a custom table when it is created from a VB standalone program. I am using Inventor 2013 and VB 2010 Express.
I have a customtable that is created within a .idw, and I would like to have the data cells set to "Table_Cells" style that I have created. I cannot find anything in the help file with a sample code to build off.
I figure it's got to be something with oCustomTable.DataTextStyle but beyond that I am lost.This is what I have, and VB is kicking it back in my face.
Dim oTextStyle As TextStyleoTextStyle = oCustomTable.DataTextStyle.StyleType("Table_Cells")
Error 2 'Public ReadOnly Property StyleType As Inventor.StyleTypeEnum' has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed.
