I have a vector based illustration of 32 panels laid out, that make up the panels found on a football. I also have a 3d object of a 32 panel football. Is there a way of mapping the illustration onto the 3d object using Photoshop CC?
I have simple a 3D bottle shape created from about 16 points and I am trying to map a gif image on to it usning CS5. No matter what I have done (work from a new document, etc.) I always get the error message. I also receive this error when I attempt to map a jpg image on to the same shape. I have attempted this on three different Windows 7 machines running CS5 with the same result. When I try it with CS6 the program closes with a catastrophic error and no message. I do not receive this error using the default symbols. The gif and jpg images are imported and imbedded into the document and then moved to the symbols library.
If you open a 3d object is it possible to unwrap it to get the uv map? There is no uv map in the layers of an object I am working with. I am using cs5 extended.
I have got some problem with the UV map. I tried 2 method: use Flatten mapping on the whole object, and the other: separete the UV parts manual with Projection, and this work correct, but when i go far with the camera the UV shape will be visible. I want to use my model for a game and it will be more visible.
I've got a car that's been imported from Alias. Its been tessellated via showcase. I'm trying to UV map it as I need to apply some camouflage and it's not going so well. I get an extremely complex UV layout in the UV editor based on the original NURBS patch layout from Alias, needless to say its not very useable.
In the max scene you can see a spearfishing shaft, basically a very long in lenght cylinder.I properly map it as the checker texture that I apply shows, the problem is the lenght of the cylinder. As you can see in the photo, a screen shoot of max Unwrap UVW Modifier,(the uv islands are properly scaled with a correct proportion between them) if I scale them down to fit the UV space, in blue in the photo, blue arrow, because the lenght of the cylinder, I end up with very small islands. I did not scale them down jet to fit the UV space to show you my point.
I must scale them down to fit the UV space despite ending up with very small islands, losing a lot of definition, and most of the uv space hempty? how to correctly pack those UV island in the UV space? The problem is the lenght of the shaft that of curse I dont want cut down with seems.
I have created a 3d object to look like a coffee mate carton. I tried to post images on here but I keep getting an error.The art work that I want to put on my object consists of a number of elements which have been saved as a symbol. (image) However whenever I try to map it to my object nothing happens. I have used some of the system symbols and these work fine. I have also made a simple label of text only and this works fine. Is there a problem using more complex symbols in this way?
See this picture where you'll find a girl's picture on which I worked and tried to convert it in an illustration or vector-like.
You'll see the DOG & Man's picture under that, I wanted to do same like that picture but my result is different, actually mine is dirty. Dog's and Man's colors are visible but mine turned into completely black.
Do you know how they convert that picture into illustration or is it a real vector file?
how to make this and ive been wondering if any of you guys can help me figure out how to do it. I want to get a picture of a persons face and then convert it into a metal mario looking thing, like a metallic face.
I'm working on a picture book and I have a set of illustrations by two different artists. I want to put an initial on each illustration to indicate the artist, and I'd like the initial to end up looking like it was stamped on with a Chinese Chop I have the illustrations scanned as TIFFs and I have also scanned an initial "stamp" for each artist as TIFFs.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (I tried unsuccessfully to make a custom shape.) I have PS-CS5 and an iMacOS10.6.8. I'm eventually putting the book together in InDesign, with some pre work in Photoshop.
I am trying to find a nice effect which will create pastel illustrations from my photos. I think it is done in PS by turning the photo into black and white first then using Oil Paint filter to work towards the soft effect I am after. I can't find a way to get this effect in my PSE 11.
I have a Windows user running Adobe Illustrator CS 5.1. SOMETIMES when she tries to save an Illustrator file over top of an existing Illustrator file, or over top of an existing PDF that she opened in Illustrator, she gets the "Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application, or you do not have the required permissions. . . ID = -54"
We are saving it to a network location, and to answer the obvious questions - she has rights, the file is not read-only and no one else has it open. If we save the file to her desktop, we can then overwrite the file back on the original network location. If she reboots her computer, this usually clears the issue up for a few days/hours.
All available updates are loaded, and it seems others have the same issue, but I've never seen a good fix, other than save it to your desktop, and then overwrite the file.
I am using InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5 and have scanned full color illustrations into Photoshop. I am preparing 7x10 saddle stitch and casebound books with the illustrations which need at a 1/8" bleed area. My problem is the illustrations have key elements right up to the edge of them. I need to add complementary colors to fill in the bleed area around them so I don't lose any of the originals. What is the best way to do this? Also, I need to copy colors from the illustrations and make separate pages of the colors to import into InDesign. What is the best method to do this? The colored pages will be the background with story text on them and reside opposite to the illustrations.
I've had this 'Can't Print the illustration' window - brand new CS5 suite, brand new computer - 4 days old (Dell, 36bit - would prefer a Mac but there you go).
History - large format packaging file - 600mm x 1200mm. Line drawings. Black and one spot (Pantone) color only. Job needed original English version converted to Chinese language. This had to be done on an older 'chinese' PC in Illustrator 4 with correct Chinese fonts. But after the translator did her job, I needed to return it to CS5 on the Dell to make alterations. Chinese fonts converted to outlines for transfer. Once alterations done, tried to print and got the silly can't print message.
prints fine from Dell in PDF format. prints fine from Dell in jpeg format. prints fine form old 'chinese' PC in Illustrator 4 format with either outlined fonts or fonts.
havent had any problems printing anything else in CS5, just this one job.
The only thing I can think of is that there was a problem when converting the Chinese font to outlines there were too many points created and either Illustrator or the printer cracked the irrites.
Although I have been using Macs/PC's and all Adobe programs for over 25 years I HATE trying to figure out this stuff and prefer to just be an end user without trying to figure out why a perfectly reasonable request goes odd.
I have a bunch of images that look like and I want to 'restore' them like
Unfortunately that took an inordinate amount of pixel-fiddling to do and I have over 80 more of them.
Even more unfortunately, that was an 'easy' image compared to some of the others:
Another easier one
I know basically nothing about image processing and my current workflow looks like: irfanview: convert to grayscale ms photo editor: adjust contrast ms paint
I am trying create an illustration in paint.net that will later become a button in another program that an end user will click on. This button needs to be the shape of a circle. Unfortunately, when the circle button has a square transparent background, the user can also click on the background to trigger the action. I dont want that to be an option, so I am trying to delete the transparent background so that all I have is the circle image. Is this possible to do?
I have however come across a real doosey - with a meeting to show the work inside this corrupted file.. tomorrow morning! love it. I'm a junior and I'm afraid of the extent my balls are on the block with this hiccup.
Placing the file in a separate AI file wasn't a solution because I am such a messy worker (outside artboards) and could only obtain a small snippet of the overall file.
I also tried turning on file recovery in Preferences>Illustrator CS5.1 Settings and the file that was recovered was blank.
It may also be of use that I was working on this file on another computer before coming home, and spilling beer in shock, denial, and disgust that I had lost many many hours of work.
This error is reported when attempting to save an illustrator file over an existing file with the same name. Yes saving it to the desktop and then copying it over the file on the shared drive works. This is not a solution for us. Full access has been granted to the user on the network share being used.
I have done an artwork and hit save, when I reopened my file, my illustration has converted to image, the amazing thing is: just very few part of my illstration has covert to image. I didn't resterize any of my illustration and I have done all my illustration in one file, the rest of my illustrations are fine but two illustration which are in the clipping mask are now images....
I tried to open up my saved illustrator file, but this message box appeared on screen.
<Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try again.>
I do not understand what this means. The file that I tried to open wasn't a big file. I tried to make a new illustrator but it pop up same message by the way, my computer is not mac. I'm using windows 7
Illustrator tool menu still poped up looks like on mac computer and you know that windows7 should be like that!!
"Can't open illustration. File is locked or in use. ID = -54" shows up when I try to install the Ai2Canvas.aip plugin on my Macbook Pro. I'm using Illustrator CS5. What do I have to do to make this plugin work?
In the above image, certain paths have some kind of brush effect or shading effect (as evident in the path above). I'm wondering, how can I remove whatever effect this is from all paths in the above shape, I don't want to have it.
Just upgraded to CS6 and get this error frequently. This is a major problem for me because linked files and document management are essential to my business.
Running on Windows 7
Can’t save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application, or you do not have the required permissions. Please save the document with a different name, or in a different folder or directory. -54
I do traditional b/w pen and ink illustrations. How do I edit the ink tones in cs6? In Photoshop it was very easy - seems terribly confusing in Illustrator.
Im putting up my first web page using PS to create the template, my problem though is how do I link things? I mean I get the template all set up and I have these nice words, but its a image how do I go in and link the words to well...links so that they can be put into the viewing window, which is another topic because I havent figured that one out yet either.
I have illustrator cs6 and when I try to put some text and save, it appears de message bellow: "An unknown error has occurred". This error only occur in my computer and also with a new file. I've tried opened the file in another computer and I can save with text. Is it something wrong with my computer?
I can't open a new Illustrator file. It sends me this error: Can't create a new illustration. Problems occurred while saving the print file.I opened a previous document created in CC, but it will not allow me to copy and paste items from one doc to another. I have rebooted with no avail.
How to simulate the following hand-drawn picture with Illustrator brushes and fills?
The situation would be... somebody would create a new vector drawing (i.e. made from a photo reference) with outlines and fills. With some easy steps he should be able to turn it into a vector drawing that resembles this style. It should be easy to do... maybe 2 or 3 steps. It could also work with add-ons or plug-ins or something (should work with CS4 upwards).
