What layer for VFX Technique?

I made a collection of resources (links) for the study of the ILM VFX (digital).

Sorry if the object is a bit specific:

You may notice that some of the images show the blades unlighted - and some of these bades are fuzzy and some are not (no good masks).

I am convinced that it is those flattened (such as files) and then turned on after them. Notice how no light allowing blend modes are used in the initial stages of the creation of the blade.

I want to know is how much more detail/quality would need to be able to determine the method behind the effects?

Are techniques uesd as blur channel - they had to invent clever techniques?

Because I know that some of these people who have worked at ILM and developed these techniques. Software may be different, but it's just to blend modes and blurs. That's all there is to it. That's all that can be done with a plug-in. You take pixel values and do some arithmetic on them. You add values, multiply the values or perform other calculations on them. It is what it is for the compositing and Visual effects.

There is no magic, just technical and care throughout the process. It is the layers and arithmetic. That's all there is to it.

    What layer are FI in the Cisco hierarchical network design model?

    Is this a straigh question? We have a Nexus 7 k for our heart and Port-channel of the FI for them. So for me it layer distribution.

    But when we attach to the NAS. Isilon devices we use between the FI and N7K N3K. This would make the N3K and FI both part of the Distribution layer? Would not be considered layer. However, it does not ACL etc. which usually belong to the Distribution layer.

    I was wondering thoughts people on it. Is the UCS FI and 'One Off' in the model of 3 layer?

    Thank you!

    Craig

    FI can sit to your dist layer. or access.  I've seen deployments where they are deployed at the same time, depending on the size of the cluster of the UCS and band network bandwidth. The distribution layer is usually to be where all the magic of layer 3 arrives (routing, ACL, QoS, FW, application of strategies etc.) and UCS being strictly Layer 2, it could be classified as a device to access-layer.

    Designs are flexible and as long that you consider oversubscription adjusted, you should be fine with the deployment option.

    I hope that others will share their ideas

  • a layer for the printing of uv spot?

    Afternoon everyone,

    IM, send a job on printers that is done in Indesign, and there are 5 photographs on the front that I printed in spot uv if theyre nice and shiny and stand out.

    Then they told me that I have to create another layer for this, I'm not sure what thay mean or exactly how to do it, because I've already finished the design...

    what I have to go back and somehow change it?

    If someone could help, would be appreciated muchly!

    Thank you

    Make a new layer on top.

    Add a new SPOT color to the varnish - no matter what it looks like as long as it is a spot color, and you must name if varnish to avoid confusion.

    Draw pictures on the new layer where you want the varnish and fill with the new task of color.

    VERY IMPORTANT! These frameworks SHOULD be set for a recovery if they erase your photos. Window > output > attributes in CS5.5, but I think that it can be directly under the window menu in verisons them earlier and chck the overprint area fill. You can also set this as an object Style that you can assign to Polish officials. Color and the overprint attribute can be defined in the filling of the style definition.

    You will probably want to turn off the layer of varnish for proofing, but he needs to be there for the separations. My instinct would be to export with Acrobat 6 or greater compatibility to keep the layers.

    What is in fact 4 tiles stitched together, as shown here:

    Screen Shot 2015-03-15 at 11.45.58 AM.png

    Two questions. First of all, how can I join paths that affect each other in order to avoid any "unbound", showing at the sewing, like this:

    Screen Shot 2015-03-15 at 11.46.07 AM.png

    Would make a compound path is an appropriate technique?

    Secondly, how can I describe some of the commingled paths? If I simply color in the stroke to path I get lines on the seam, which is what I don't want. See the following topics. I want the contours on the perimeters of the paths of rounds, but not the horizontal and vertical lines that appear on the seams.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Trace does not have what you want.

    If you really want to unite use them pathfinder functions in the pathfinder Panel. See the manual for more information about how to use pathfinder functions. Illustrator help | Combining objects

    If you want to keep the ability to edit a quarter of the tile and the other to update, there could be other ways to achieve this.

  • Unprintable Advisory / text layer for models

    I'm trying to set up a template in illustrator that can be used by co-workers. Rather than having a separate document containing advice on how best to use the template (which of course, no one will read), I thought that it might be preferable to include information in the model itself. This advisory information had to be removed every time however, it would be a chore. Does anyone know of a good method to be able to leave the text or the layers that I can be able to lock and therefore could not be ignored by people using the doc, but what is important, would not be shown in the final result when placed in InDesign? The ideal outcome would not include having to specify many import options in InDesign for each file it could be hundreds of these things in place!

    I can't imagine that I have a unique situation here to want to do something like that.

    I'm using CS5.

    I thought you had the answer in your title for a minute there. But yes, do a layer of template with this info on it. Double click on the layer and select "template".

  • How can I change the thumbnail of the mask layer for a thumbnail of the image itself?

    Hello

    I'm in Photoshop CS5 in Windows, and I've been using Photoshop for a while now. I'm not sure what I've done, but for these days, in my palette of layers, thumbnails that appear are different.

    I have attached a small screenshot of my photoshop below. Here in 1 layer, the thumbnail at left (brush) used is that of the opening of the image and the thumbnail in the right used to be an indication of grayscale pixels that have been selected. No idea how to return back?

    Hi slaveofphoton,

    Go to Options from the layers panel, and choose one thumbnail size other than none.

    [Shift + Ctrl + Alt + N Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E, Shift + Ctrl +]

    [can be reduced to Shift + Ctrl + Alt + N + E the sequence of end + N + T is important shift + Ctrl +]

    First shortcut is add new empty stack without command prompt and be the target layer

    Empty second shortcut Mearge Visible in this new layer

    Third shortcut move layer at the top of the stack.

    Some will tell all you need to do is Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E however some time which can do nothing at all depends on what is the current target...

    Shift + Ctrl + Alt + N + E still works...

  • What Presets for this Avi file?

    I have a couple of musicals (from tv) .avi files that I want to change in the first (which I almost never used before, only a few intermittent stuff with my little digital camera... no real knowledge).

    What I want to do, is simply to extract the song and dance of the plot.

    Windows tells me this much on the files:
    624 x 352 pixels
    throughput of 128 Kbps
    16-bit audio sample size
    Audio blade MP3
    23 frames per second
    given 1102 Kbps
    extract video 24 bit
    XVID compression

    and gspot gives me this, most of which I don't even understand:

    container
    AVI v1 1 Interleave vid frame (42ms)
    Interleaving of audio frames aligned
    304MB video
    User data

    SAR 1,773 per 1,000 dar 1,773

    Now, these numbers don't match any of existing "presets" of first and do not provide enough information for me to make up a custom preset.

    Can someone help me? Tell me what presets to turn or direct me to the software that will query this file and get the info for me?

    GOLD: If there is a way more easy/software to do what I want to do - what is it?

    Kind regards

    The Xvid CODEC will be a real problem. For the rest, a desk with custom to match, attributes Preset you have to edit - but not with the Xvid CODEC. I would like to use the advice of prejudice to convert to DV - AVI Type II, and problems should go away.

    Another suggestion of evil, I found that program CyberLink PowerDirector done a proper job with Xvid/DivX hardware, but it IS highly compressed and is a format for delivery of streaming media. It should ONLY be used as such and not as source footage. In addition, Premiere Elements will have the same issues, that will be PrPro.

    For some more information about CODECS, this ARTICLE could be useful.

    Good luck

  • What updates for the iMac 27 "retina 5 k?

    I'm buying an iMac 27 "5 k and need help to determine what updates/model I should go for?

    I am a beginner graphic/web designer is currently using a MacBook Pro with 16 GB and 256 flash. Will use Safari, Pages/Keynote, and Adobe Suite primarily.  I do not edit videos or play games, I'm a basic user who wants to really just a nice, larger screen to work on the desktop.

    I think investing in the computer but don't want to spend a lot more machine that I'll ever need.

    What do I need from a good to have:

    • 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM
    • 390 on the 380 graphics card
    • 1 TB Fusion or 256 Flash for storage

    Thanks for your help!

    The only upgrade that you really need is to 16GBs of RAM. Training of standard merge should be fine for your needs. You will not need the GPU upgrade.

    Hey Buddy,

    Satellite X 200's official not Windows 7 supported. This means that Toshiba doesn't provide drivers tested for this model. Of course, you can install Windows 7 but all of the drivers and the tools you need to get yourself in the Internet!

    What you can test is 64-bit Vista drivers, but nobody can say exactly if they work or not

    In my opinion, you must use the operating system preinstalled by Satellite X 200. Who s the easiest way. ;)
