Add depth to the contents of a 2D image (in the 3D editor)?

Hello all!
I've been playing around quite a bit with the 3D-editor, to make 3D objects appear in a 2D image (like using a photo of a street as a backdrop for a 3D object). I tried the postcard-function, but of course that will only give me a completely flat object - if I add an object to the scene, the shadow won't render correctly.
So I realized that I need some way to add a fake depth, not only to the background of the image but also to the objects in it, so that the 3D object appears to be part of the image. I tried the perspective grid and built a 3D-scene from that. A nice feature, but it seems quite unstable to say the least, and it's not really what I'm looking for. I think I need to build invisible objects that will imitate the presence of other objects in the picture, thus blocking light correctly to create realistic shadows etc.
While looking around for ideas I found this brilliant solution (from 01:15):

Now, is there any way to achieve something like this in Photoshop?
Best regards, and thanks in advance.

Those are tip strips in TestStand but I don't think they particularly look like 2D arrays and LabVIEW tip strips stay there as long as the mouse remains in the same position. For a 2D array, I guess I would use Array to Spreadsheet String and wire the output of that to the array's TipStrip property as in the attached picture. If you want something a little different, you can monitor the mouse position and if it's over your control, make an indicator visible.

  • "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

    I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
    I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
    My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
    I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
    I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
    I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
    I've tried everything.
    I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
    I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
    I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
    Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
    But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Another USB port?
    - When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Some of the content in my Itunes library has the "!" next to them and is unable to play the songs as it says the source is no longer available

    Some of the content in my Itunes library has the "!" next to them and is unable to play the songs as it says the source is no longer available, yet on an old Ipod the same tracks are available and play fine?
    I would love to know how to consolidate all my music and be able to play it without one device saying they are unavailable yet another device says they are?
    Also how obsurd is it for Apple to charge for supporting their devices! Or is that just me?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried using spotlight.

  • Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one?  I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

    Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

    This is a User's Forum, yelling at us won't help. You have 90 days of customer support via telephone. Use them as they can interact with their system and hopefully get you back on track. Otherwise take it to them at the Genius Bar and have them make it good.

    No. When you restored the backup of the old computer it wiped out everything on the phone.

  • Error Message: The content processing pipeline failed to process the item

    Hi Everyone:
    Our crawl logs yesterday show a ton of errors.  Half of the items being crawled are failing.  We are getting the following message:
    The content processing pipeline failed to process the item. ( There was an internal problem connecting to or querying the database.; ; SearchID = 8869868B-F919-41D1-8FC5-B55585EE479C )
    Does anyone know what the root cause of this issue is?  Our search was working just fine and now this has suddenly occurred.  Can it be due to resources?  Is it because of a change we just made?
    Thank you,
    Jake

  • TS4403 How can I see the content of my camera roll on the Icloud

    How cn I see the content of my camera roll on the iCloud?

    If you mean the camera roll photos included in your iCloud backup, you can't.   They can only be seen by restoring the backup to your device.

  • When I set the content settings to block images and try to navigate certain sites, the browser freezes.

    I can stop the browser from displaying images from websites by clicking on the Firefox icon, then clicking on Options from the drop-down menu, then clicking on options from the new drop-down menu, then clicking on the Content tab, and finally un-exing the box next to "Display images." Now the browser won't display images. But when I visit certain sites while in this mode, such as Yahoo! or Goodsearch, and try to navigate within these sites, I find that the browser has frozen up. There seems no way to unfreeze it except to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, log off, log on again, and unblock images before proceeding further. How do I prevent this freezing problem?

    Disable Addons like Adblock plus.

  • I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

    I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

    Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
    Thanks.

  • How  do the dynamic state to record image in the cell-phone?

    Excuse me.How do the dynamic state to record image in the cell-phone?Or whether it has the feasibility or not?..Somebody can give me some opinions and data,please.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand very well what you want, but to record and image (get and snapshot) you have to create an Player, realize the player, start it and then get the snapshot. ex:
                player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
                player.realize();           
                VideoControl videoControl = (VideoControl) player.getControl("VideoControl");
                player.start();
                byte[] data = videoControl.getSnapshot(null);
                Image image = Image.createImage(data, 0, data.length);To find out if a device can record images you can use this:
                boolean mmapiAvailable = System.getProperty("microedition.media.version") != null;
                boolean canGetSnapshots = System.getProperty("supports.video.capture") != null;Hope that answer your question.

  • How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?

    Also, I wanted to know what each subscriptions included as far as my question above is concerned?
    I am trying to edit a scanned page (pdf file) by changing some words and erasing the background from the page that is showing through it since the paper is so thin and want to know which subscription to buy in order to complete these tasks?

    This cannot be done in Reader. I think you will need software like Photoshop. You may be able to get buy with Photoshop Elements, but I haven't used recent versions of that software. Using either software this will not be an automated task.
