I have a license for 2013 Ultimate Entertainment Suite. I'm wanting to set up batch rendering on a second workstation. Does this license allow for batch rendering on 2nd workstation while you still design on 1st workstation?
View 2 RepliesFrom several .vsp-projects to output/convert/encode/render single video files (Videodatei erstellen) in Batch with one film template (Filmvorlage)
DVD authoring was yesterday - today is streamed from the NAS to the TV. So I now render video projects (.vsp) in VideoStudio as individual files (Videodatei erstellen). With Full HD 50p projects which lasts a few minutes and I can not cut in this time. With several hundred clips from vacation it sucks.
Hence my request for a new batch function for the encoder of VideoStudio: Several .vsp-files to be issued in Batch with a self-defined film original/template (Filmvorlage).
I need to reinstall CS 5 on a new workstation. Where do I find this download file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy new Dell U2713H is on its way, and I need a new video card to take advantage of it. I work mainly with Photoshop and Illustrator, with a little bit of Video and 3D. No games whatsoever.
How much video memory do I need? When I look at the Nvidia Quadro series, there's a big jump in price from entry-level to mid-level, but only the mid-level has 2GB. For desktop cards, even some of the lower-end ones have 2GB. Would the extra memory be good for working with image stacks and panorama stitching?
For the more expensive desktop cards, are you mostly paying for enhanced gaming capabilities, or would it be a general overall improvement in performance?
Most of the reviews I see for workstation cards are oriented towards people who do do a lot of 3D. Like I said, I don't do a lot, but I do some. Would something like a Quadro K600 give me a performance boost in Photoshop? Or might I be just as happy with a lower-mid-range desktop card?
I am currently running a quad-care, 4 gigs, with a nvidia 8800gts 640mb graphics card machine and using photoshop cs4 extended with windows xp 32 bit os.
While photoshop cs4 is fairly fast and responsive, I would like to have it even quicker.
My question is, what would make this happen?
Naturally a faster processor (i7 intel) would assist in this, but I rather not go that route. I would rather go to a 64bit OS and add additional 4 gigs of ram (total of 8). What would your suggestions be?
Add the additional 4 gigs of ram and go to 64-bit xp? 64 bit vista?
Build a new machine with i7 quad cpus, 16 gigs of ram and 64 bit os?
Simply use what I got because there will not be much of an improvement?
I would like to have it run faster without a great deal of reworking the system. Clearly what I am running now is pretty darn fast even though it is a year old since I built it.
My boss just came in and wants to get a new workstation with Windows 7 64bit on it. We are, however, out of copies of AutoCAD 2007 to install but have many 2006 copies. Will 2006 run under Win7? If so, how reliably? Or should I suggest getting 2012?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have tried to load dbconnect on several 64 bit workstations usinf "dbc" and "dbconnect". In all cases AutoCAD Map 3d stops working. Generally, the workstation just spins and you have to end the program with task manager, but I do have on Win 7 machine that crashes all the way out. There is never an AutoCAD error message or opportunity to report the issue to Autodesk.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter shelling out a pretty penny for Inventor 2012, my boss set me up with a less-than-adequate off-the-shelf PC. I don't need faster visualizations as I'm not dealing with super complex assemblies, maybe 100-200 parts. I also don't care about ray-tracing while modeling. My problem is it took 24 hours to render a 65 second animation (about 1000 frames).
my boss is going to allow me to build a new, more inventor optimized workstation. I am using studio to do fairly complex animations. Fades, camera changes, constraint animations, all rendered with higher quality. I need a computer that will render quickly, and possibly higher quality if available.
I don't fully understand the whole "Direct X vs OpenGL" stuff. What should I spend my money on, knowing that rendering, not modeling is where I need improvement. I am thinking AMD system to save $$. Also, what to look for, fast bus, cache, etc. Just remember, I need faster RENDERING in STUDIO ANIMATIONS.
I need to move projects and clips from an old system drive (restored from system crash, unbootable) to a new install on a new disk.
Is there a "best practice" for moving projects?
It looks like this
Disk1 (old)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/old projects
/usr/discreet/project/old projects
Disk2 (new)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/
/usr/discreet/project/

I have the following path declared for a R2007 workstation:
(setq rr (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.0\ACAD-5001:409\Profiles\" (getvar 'CPROFILE)))
How can I extract this path without manually declaring it?
Something like:
(VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE))
Which will result in the following statement:
(setq rr (strcat (VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE)) (getvar 'CPROFILE)))
Dyslexia is a permanent physical disability that cannot be seen.
why i cannot change the color of the background when rendering? It is always black, and i cannot attached or make new material, if need to attach jpeg or new texture on my drawing, cannot create new material. what should i do? im currently using autocad for mac 2012.

So I have an action that I've been using for the past couple years (?) now that involves opening an image, applying an auto color and auto levels, saving and closing. This has been working for me since probably a couple years ago when I made the action. Yesterday, I was working on a scanning project where I have groups of images in separate folders. I ran the action on the first 2 folders which went fine.
When I got to the 3rd folder all the way up to the last one, PS just loads all the images, does the levels and color then fails to save/close them when done. On one of my folders, it gets through a few of them when it drops the ball and just opens all of them. I'm not sure what's going on as there's no real explanation as to why this is happening.. especially when I've been using this action (and I even made a new action with still no luck). Last week I had about 300 images I had to work with and PS decided to pull this move on me after doing the first 30 of them fine...which is when I first noticed this happening.
To further add, I set my action to show everything step by step and it seems to happen with select images (in some cases, these select images are entirely what is in the folder). With the select images, it is not doing the actions entirely in order. Typically it does it in this manner:
1-Levels
2-Levels
3-Save
4-Close
What I'm now experiencing is this:
2-Levels
1-Levels
(Skips 3 and 4 since it is starting at 2 and working upward).
At the moment I animate the weight from 0 to 1 and vice versa over a frame, but when I reopen the damn scene its all wacky. What the heck is going on here?
I tried to install ET PickUp but its giving me an error to do so.
I'm new to soft Image,I don't know how to get the menu,where I can make lipsync,plus I can't get it out of the wireframe,when I click textured,the model disappears. It should be a blue button "Scan".

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan I use ice to manipulate the visibility of an object? example; a particle enters an object and causes it to become visible but once the particle leaves the object the object disappears. Ive tried using test methods like test inside geometry, but I cant find the attribute to flag the view visibility as true or false. Been beating myself up for a couple days now I have drug the misc. visibility attributes from the explorer into ice but I cant flag them on or off.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small problem trying a wave to deform my objects properly. I have to make a "repulsion objects" project, i use several duplicate cubes and i apply to them a wave deformer. But i would like that the deformer could move just the entire objects or polygons , not the points because i want the upper face plane and the wave deform the points like i was making a jitter.
I have tested also the displacement direction of the wave with no results. Is there an easy way to make it?
I have modeled a human character with NURBS and I have to export it to a CAD system (Autodesk Inventor) using the IGES-format. So I can't use any fileformats based on polygons.
When exporting to IGES all colors of the model get lost, but the geometry is OK. I don't use any shaders, textures or complex materials. I would like to use simple object colors / vertex colors.
how to preserve the colors in IGES? Are there any export plugins available that support colors in IGES?
Softimage 2012 'send to' 3dsmax options are unavailable. I only see one option and that is 'update 3dsmax current scene'. If I click that it comes up with 'no ICE TREE to return, canceling operation' and nothing is exported. Would love to be able to use this feature.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy current workflow is to Clone my object, mirror the polygons on the clone and delete the original half of the clone so I have two working halves. Turn symmetry on so the center points stay on the plane. Then I model - edit and extrude and so on, the original, the clone is updated. Well partially.
Here are the problems I am running into:
1) There seems to be no way to add a primitive into a polymesh. Been through the manual and I did not find a way to do this.
2) This leads to the next problem. There does not seem to be a way to properly merge or join objects into the poly mesh without creating a new mesh object. This in effect cuts the relationship to the clone. And anytime I want to add a primitive into the mesh as a starting point or target for creating new geometry, this means doing the clone, mirror, delete process all over. Not exactly efficient. As note here I am talking about connected parts not just putting parts in that could be separate. Such as contours on a car body that merge to a disc where the headlight would be. Just as an example. And I am polygon modeling here.
I am aware of lofting just so you know, but the above was just an example. I'd like to know specifically about working in symmetry.
Any tips on a better workflow to model - create/add new mesh components including primitives and edit them - in symmetry.
I have a problem right now with the weight map visibility.
On PC one, everything is alright, I create a cube, add a weight map property, push ''W'' and start painting. A blue color now appear on my black cube..
On the second PC, I do all the same, but their is no blue color that is revealing under my brush. So I check in the Script Editor and their is a list of Array like it is suppose to create.
I suppose the problem is not the weight map but some visibility option that is turn off, but I can't find them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Softimage XSI 7.5 Mod Tool on a Windows Vista 32 bit. I cannot open any of my saved scenes, when I do I get an error.
I have done some research and found two things, one, that using a registry fix for windows is the cause of this problem, and two, that the fix to this error is to run the "runonce.bat" file from the "bin" directory. I used a registry fix recently that not only didn't seem to improve my computers performance, but it also stopped XSI from working properly. Apparently lot's of people have had this problem and the fix is fairly simple.
However, when I ran the runonce.bat file, it failed to work, I ran it again this time with a command to produce an error log, and this error came up on about the 25th line: "oleaut32.dll: Registration failed; Result == E_ACCESSDENIED".
Here's where it get's confusing. I created a second windows user, this one not an administrator, logged onto it, and ran runonce.bat. It did not produce the error seen above and instead, when I run XSI from the second user, I can load scenes just fine. But I log back onto the admin account, and the problem persists.
Obviously I'd like to be able to use XSI from my admin account like normal, instead of having to use an "XSI" account. I am fairly certain that runonce.bat's error "oleaut32.dll: Registration failed; Result == E_ACCESSDENIED" is the reason that runonce.bat seems to have no effect.
