And if you don't know how: -go to your channels palette, -select the red channel -press ctrl-i (Image>adjustments>invert) Or if you prefer it in an adjustment layer (so you can toggle it): -add a levels adjusment layer -select red from the dropdown -at the bottom (output levels), change 255 to 0 and 0 to 255. If you're…
I'm in a similar situation. After spending a few years poking at 3D and not having much luck, I went back to blender after the 2.5 release (It cannot be over stated how much of an improvement 2.5 is over 2.4) and managed to make a dent in things. I can't shake the feeling that despite the success I've had using blender,…
I'd recommend asking your employer to purchase Optipix for this kind of stuff. There's even an special NDS version that's fully integrated with the Nitro SDK, you can even tweak your images and preview them in real time on the DS! We got it here at the office. It's extremely easy and powerful, puts Photoshop to shame when…
I was X years old.. Again whats with the ages? Just back in College for my junior year after being out for 2.5 years because of a nervous breakdown. So I was pumped up to learn. I had begun switching my major over to Sculpture, though kept Vis Comm as another major just so I could get access to the computer courses…
The Bamboo Fun M is 199 on the Wacom Store, and £134 in the Student Store. With the wonderful (not) exchange rate on the Euro at the moment, it works out far more expensive on the Wacom site. It is a fair bit more than the small, but I strongly recommend not getting the small. You'll regret it I think. Also, think of it…
This is because a mesh doesn't initially have a UV layer, and the first time you unwrap it from the 3d window, Blender assigns the mesh its first UV layer. Once there is UV to work on, E will re-unwrap in the UV/Image editor. UV layers can be found in Editing (F9), Mesh panel -> UV Texture. This is another one of those…
For me, it's Blender's easy extruding and facing combined with the mouse3 button camera movement for easy modeling. Until 2.35 however, when they added the popup menu for the Extrude key, slows me down a bit unless there's a way to disable that My steps on creating a face, which addicts me to using blender: - Sel a vert -…
Hi :) I would suggest taking a PSU with a bit more power, 500Watts is the minimum for 560Ti, maybe push it to 600/700 just to be safe, something like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 And I suggest taking a good CPU cooling,…
I meant compared to the animated version which was iconic and resonated with a larger audience across the world. If you are comparing revenue, the animated version had a budget of $40 million with box office of $235 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would come to, 80 million budget and 503 million box office. Its way…
Thanks Zoltan! The solution works perfectly for grayscale. This is already enough of a solution, but I will test the RGB solution tomorrow since it'll allow us to use color coding in the alpha texture for convenience. But for now at least I know we can contain 255 alphas in a single texture. :) The input value I choose…
