Manipulate the shapes & vectors with Expressions

Hello

Is it possible to manipulate the different vectors of a path or shape in After Effects using expressions? How one would call the individual vectors in the script of the expression? If not, are there other ways to draw and adjust the forms via expressions? Thank you

As I said, you can't. The question here is, you actually want to animate the mask or shape layer paths? Most of which can be done easily with distorting (and much more intuitive, too) as Bézier or the puppet tool. So for me, you simply follow a bad strategy here...

  • What is the best way to manipulate the shape of a layer to smart object in Photoshop?

    I have a smart object in photoshop which is a rectangle, and I want to deform slightly so it looks it was filed on the ground (basically, I need to change the position of the corners to make it look in perspective).

    If I did that to an object in Illustrator I was going to just use the direct Selection tool and drag the anchor points in the corners of the rectangle. I know there is a direct selection tool in Photoshop, but my smart object doesn't seem to have all the anchor points on it to manipulate (v. new Photoshop user, sorry).

    I know you can use a mesh of string objects, but as this is just a simple rectangle I was hoping that it would be a less complicated way? That it's just the positioning of the corners that must fit.

    Thanks for the tips!

    You can use Edition > free transform or Ctry/Cmd-T, to reshap the smart object.

  • Manipulate the menu refnum

    Is it possible to manipulate the paths menu item in the same way that you can manipulate the paths?  With the files, you can build paths and trails band will get where you want to go, but I don't see any way to do with menus.

    I have an application that dynamically generates the menus.  When a user selects a menu item, I want to give him a check, but I want to uncheck all the other menu items that are in the same submenu.  If the menu items are fixed, it's not a problem, but if the menu items are dynamic, I'm having a devil of a time.

    I solved my problem.  I had a typo in very stupid that I didn't notice.

  • Analyze the Mac address with the regular expression matching

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the function of regular expression matching,

    I try to analyse the response both a query arp - a 192.168.0.15 to retrieve the MAC address of the remote IP address, I used the following regular expression: ^ ([0-9a-fA-F]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9a-fA-F]{2})$

    I wonder why should I do a subset of the first string to extract only the part of the MAC address. The regular Expression function is not able to recognize the regular expression directly in the middle of a string?

    I only works when I extracted the subset of tring right as in the picture below.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Get rid of the "^" at the beginning of your regular expression. You are ordering him to find the model at the beginning of the string.

    When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

    I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

    When I create a rectangle, I can not not change the shape of a rectangle with the cursor in illustrator CC 2014 for what?

    Xavigarcia,

    I'm afraid that have met you the Rectangle Live bug that is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

    Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

    To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

    Good day everyone, I have some problems with the shape tween and I need your help and your explanations. The links below: first link is an example of how this drawing must be animated, and the second is my attempt failed. So, why these traits change their shape this way, not as in the first link? Is there a possible way to fix it? I tried to add a few shapehints, but flash has not understood what I wanted to do, boards are simply were red.

  • Replacement of the vectors with the best collection

    Hello

    My Netbeans IDE gives me a hint that the vectors (which I use to build custom table of AbstractTableModel models) are outdated.

    What should I replace vectors with, or which collection should I use to build custom table models, any example will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    jverd wrote:
    Use ArrayList instead of vector.

    However, interaction with the legacy GUI APIs is a common place where you have to use Vector. I don't know if AbstractTableModel falls into this category, but you can easily find enough.

    Unlike DefaultTableModel, AbstractTableModel made no assumptions on how the data should be stored. That is why it is useful. It can be used to adapt the other data structures to TableModel without needing to copy data.

  • Fill the shape with lines

    I'm really new to illustrator, and I need to know the answer to this question quickly. If I did a weird form with 5 different lines how would I fill? Really, nothing happens when I select the rows, and then select a color.

    Thank you for answering my question

    I'll assume that you used the online tool to make the shape.

    Shape to fill it must be what is called a closed path that you now are five open paths.

    Here's what you can select all the lines and use the command or order J to join the end points and then fill it out.

    But the right way to make the shape you want to do is to use the pen tool.

    More about the pen tool and the tool online and watch videos.
