3D Bevel and Extrude Effect acting weird

When I do Bevel & Extrude on a font, or object, or whatever...sometimes I get this...

And my settings are very low as you can see here...

So why does this happen?
Thanks
Roger

I'm sorry...you're right and I know better...I just forgot to put that bit in. It's CS3.
So I've made my text into outlines, and when I go to Object> Path> Offset Path, I get "Offset Path" window that comes up that has an "Offset" window where you can change the values, "Joins" which you can choose from Miter, Bevel, & Round, and then the "Miter Limit" and the "Preview" check box, which you can obviously toggle on and off. I've tried all different combinations, None of which give me anything like what the 3D effect did. The only thing I noticed was it basically will make a duplicate path either larger or smaller than your existing paths/shape, or whatever you want to call it. So I am assuming I am missing something here?
Thanks
Roger

  • Convert Bevel and Emboss Effect into Separate Layers

    I was following a tutorial for making paint drips at http://www.planetphotoshop.com/dripping-color.html.
    I am not sure which version of Photoshop was being used in the video. Maybe CS3 or 4? It looks like the video was created in 2008? Towards the end of tutorial (about the last 1/4), he converts the Bevel and Emboss effect into separate layers in order to delete the effect from the top and sides of the image. I can't seem to locate the "Create Layers" option when I control+mouse click on the layer. Is the "Create Layers" listed some place else or is there another way to remove the Bevel and Emboss effects from the top and sides only?

    Which version do you work with?

  • Lumia 720: Power and camera button act weird

    Hi,
    My Nokia Lumia 720 is acting weird.
    The camera button doesn't work and so does the power button.
    However if I press the volume down and the power button simultaneously the button does work.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I've already brought the phone back to the default settings.
    I'm running the latest developer preview if that matters.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and it's acting weird. It looks to be something like a calibration error but i don't exactly know. It won't let me tap letters and symbols such as ' ; R and D'. Help?

    So my iPod Touch forth gen is acting up. When i try to slide the button to unlock the lock screen, it slides back. It takes several tries for me to do that. I'm able to tap the numbers for the code, but when i try to send messages to my friends or write one of my fanfictions, it goes haywire. It'll enter in letters and words that i didn't even tap on. When i try to tap on a couple of things in particular, it ignores it. '; R D and ~' are some of the letters and symbols that I'm having issues with. Can someone please tell me what's going on? I've restarted it dozens of times, re-entered my passcode, deleted data, and even re-downloaded the keyboards a couple of times. Help!

  • I just got a new iMac and quicktime is acting weird

    Movie files from the internet are downloading to the desktop before they play and if it is a wmv file it just opens text edit and shows jibberish.
    on my macbook it opens a quicktime window and downloads to that and plays there, or in the webpage in an imbedded player.
    how do i go back to playing in an imbedded or a quicktime player window instead of default downloading?
    O and i almost forgot, im already downloading flip 4 mac to solve the wmv problem
    Message was edited by: John Novi

    Hi John....glad you figured it out. I found that F4M works for most wmv content, but there are a few other items you might want to have in your video toolkit. Occasionally, content providers will offer up variations on the wmv theme and these things may help:
    VLC
    Perian
    Streamclip

  • Log4j and Jboss are acting weird

    This question is reagards to Log4j and JBoss and I thought this is the best place to ask this question.
    I am using Jboss 3.2.3. My purpose was to log messages in a seperate file "developer.log" using Log4j. These messages has to be logged in this file only. So in my WAR's folder under WEB-INF/classes I created a file log4j.properties:
    log4j.logger.standard=DEBUG, devlog
    log4j.appender.devlog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.devlog.File=C:/logs/developer.log
    log4j.appender.devlog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.devlog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%nNow my code :
    import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger("standard");
    log.debug("a debug message");
    log.info("a info message");
    log.warn("a war message");I test run this code without Jboss and it works perfect. It created a file "developer.log" in the desired location and logs messages in it.
    Now i run with JBoss. JBoss does not create "developer.log" file at all. Instead it logs all the messages in server.log
    2005-09-30 23:07:35,459 DEBUG [standard] a debug message
    Jboss is recognizing that it is standard but after that it is not gving me the desired results. Any input on how to fix this problem?
    TIA

    You can tell it you don't want to inherit, by adding
    this to your "standard" category tag:
    <category name="standard" additivity="false">
    thanks. it works perfect.
    ok i got it working kind of. Jboss already comeswith
    a log4j.xml so i put my log4j stuff in this file :You should be able to deploy your own log4j.xml with
    your app's resource files and make it use yours when
    it is running your app.Ok I took out my stuff from Jboss log4j.xml, create a new xml progtest.log4j.xml like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
    <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">
      <appender name="DEVLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
        <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/developer.log" />
        <param name="Append" value="true" />
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
          <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n" />
        </layout>
      </appender>
      <category name="standard" additivity="false">
        <priority value="INFO"/>
        <appender-ref ref="DEVLOG" />
      </category>
    </log4j:configuration>My web application is in a ProgTest.WAR folder. I put the above file "progtest.log4j.xml" under WEB-INF/classes in ProgTest.WAR folder. When i run the app the very first problem again arises that no developer.log file was created; instead the concerned messages were put into server.log and console.
    All my classes are in one jar file. I include progtest.log4j.xml in that jar file, redeploy it and test it but still the same problem.
    What i am doing wrong here?
    Thanks

  • Bevel and Embossed text

    Hey guys...just wondering if anyone has a nice way of re-creating a Photoshop Bevel and Emboss effect for the text in Motion 3. I get a similar effect using the INDENT filter, but it's just not the same. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    welcome to the posts. NIce alias name, classy!
    I had to look over the project again and it took me some time to sort it out. I made it in M2 and i think M3 does something funky.
    The layer with the little t is the text layer. Should have called it something else like "indented text" to make it clearer I guess. In answer to your question the text layers blend mode is set to stencil luma which make it act like a stencil, and therefore shows the paper layer below. Then there is another paper layer below that to give the background. If you didnt do the stenciled paper layer it would look like some coloured text indented into the paper, which wasnt the original brief.
    The spotlight is an M2 construct. Now of course we have lights in M3 so it becomes a bit easier.
    Just a point to clarify. 'parenting' is really an AfterEffects idea, something that Motion doesnt do. instead you have to put things in groups, a bit like comping in AE, but more flexible.

  • Bevel and emboss like Photoshop

    Is there any easy way to get something like the 'bevel and emboss' effect in Photoshop? Short of bringing the paths into Photoshop and applying it there, of course...
    I was toying a little bit with doing something like that using the drop shadow effect, but the shadow has to come on the inside... Any tips?
    I would prefer to have it as a live effect - I have done it manually with vectors by duplicating/offsetting/trimming, but it is a fair bit of work...

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Please Adobe, can't we have this as a raster effect in the next version of Illy!
    Please, NO.
    Provide ordinary, tidy, efficient 2D-based bevel and extrude VECTOR path operations. Long overdue.

  • Bevel and embomadess is inverting when PDF is made

    This all using latest CC on Mac.
    I have placed an Illustrator vector image of a logo on a plain background in indesign.
    I have the applied Bevel and Emboss effect.
    When I make a PDF the logo is flipped. Back -to-front and upside-down.
    Any thoughts!?
    Image attached.
    Si

    Fine in Indesign.
    I may have cracked it, I opened the Illustrator file copied the logo to a new file and it seems OK.
    What was odd was with the original I could export it as a jpeg OK.
    Anyway seems OK now.

  • What are bevel and emboss styles ?

    what are bevel and emboss styles?

    Hi Garry,
    Check out this video tutorial on Bevel and Emboss effects:

  • Bevel and Emboss filters?

    It appears to me that Motion 1 doesn't have the same degree of filters for text that Photoshop does, or at least I haven't found them yet.
    I did find the bevel border but that does not bevel the individual letters. I also found the color emboss in the stylistic group but that doesn't have near the capability that Photoshop does.
    I realize I could create letters in Photoshop and import them but that seems inefficient.
    Can anyone recommend any 3rd party filters that will accomplish the bevel and emboss effects directly in Motion?
    Hopefully at a reasonable price.
    Thanks for any help,
    Ken

    Specialcase,
    Thanks for the response.
    I'm sure I'm as blind as a bat, but when I go to "add filter" with a text word selected in my copy of Motion 1.01 and choose "stylize", there is no word that begins with an "i" anywhere in the list. Indent is just not there.
    Could that be a feature only in Motion 2? Or, do you think I might have a corrupt list of filters?

  • Camera app acting weird - not saving photos - iphone 6 plus

    I just got my iphone 6 plus... I'm trying to use the stock camera app and it's acting weird.  I'm able to focus and take a photo... after I take a pic, you know how the little thumbnail of that photo appears on the bottom left of the app?  You should be able to touch that and then view in full screen your last pic, right?  Well here is when it starts acting up... When I touch it, nothing happens!  I exit the app and go to the photos app and my picture isn't there!  The app doesn't appear to freeze - as I can still view the screen and what the camera is looking at!  Before the 1st photo is "taken" I am able to choose between any of the photo types (square, pano, video, slo mo, time lapse)... but the same thing will happen no matter which photo I choose.  If I pick a video, the video begins and then the touch part doesn't work... the video will run on 'forever' or until i press the home button - in which case the video isn't saved.
    I have restarted my phone many times... and even done the power cycle (where you hold the sleep/lock and home button at same time)
    Any ideas?  Please help - this is a 2 day old phone and the camera doesn't work properly.
    What is really weird is that I can post a photo taken by instagram with no problem.. I can also use the Camera Awesome app but the photos aren't saved in the photos app... even if I try to export to camera roll in camera awesome!
    Thanks

    Hey Bender1031,
    Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    - If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    - If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

    my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
    Is it a damaged keyboard ?
    The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

    No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do.  If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty.  It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
    If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you.  And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
    Your only choice is to take it in for repair.
