Animated bump map filter, how to ?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I want to animate on a path an small oval shape and use this shape as a bump map in a bump map filter ( or displace filter). The goal is to "push out" a small portion of my movie like if someone is pushing beneath the screen.
The result doesn't animate and despite many tweakings, the bumped portion is a large oval instead of finger's tip.
Motion manual says :
+"Bump Map+
+This filter uses a source object to define a bump pattern which can be used to deform+
+an object, with parameters to control the amount of distortion. You can use any image,+
+movie, or shape as the source object."+
How to achieve this effect?
Thank you.
Michel Boissonneault

Yes it seems to blow up anything in the image well to fill the screen.
Have you tried bulge?

Bump Map Issue?

I made a flame shape in color using Photoshop and then imported the object into Motion. I used the bump map filter for this layer and imported Smoke.mov from the Content Folder, to create a more realistic feel and movement for the object I created. This worked, however I now have a black background for my layer, the flame I created. My question is: is this because the background of the Smoke.mov is black? I know this sounds elementary, but I did try to make the movie as an Animation, and as NTSC/DV, also using the Alpha Channel and Transparent....every way I tried to get a transparent background for my layer didn't work. So, here I am asking the pros......thanks in advance for any help you can give me! Lucind

Hi Sri,
Initially, am glad for the response.
Though I have maintained the region keys with the city names with the right letters, I couldn't see the newer 2 cities of the country on the map..
I guess I should find alternatives to embed new maps vie some other technologies or Add-ons...
I greatly appreciatte with any deliverables...
Best.

Bump mapping with pixel shaders

I see in this game: http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/army-of-the-damned.jsp
if you enable "pixel shader" you will see a nice bump-mapping
i know the old method for bump-mapping ( using the #speculalLight textureMode, masked by another texture ) but this one seems to be hardware-managed by new video cards
i didn't find how to parameter the shaders in director documentation to perform hardware bump-mapping and other effects
has someone found the doc ?

doesn't matter...
for the moment we can use the oldschool bump mapping:
- first texturelayer = halo texture with #specularLight or #reflction uv projection
- second texturelayer = bump texture with #multiply blendfunction
- third textureLayer = main texture with #add blendfunction
- fourth textureLayer = lightmap
of course its faster and more realistic when hardware managed

Normal Map filter for After Effects? :D

Is there a filter or plug for After Effects that allows you to convert a sequence of heightmaps into a sequence of normal maps?
I tried using the NVidia filter in Photoshop as a batch process but it seems to choose its own settings for the NVidia filter...
Maybe someone has another suggestion?
Thanks!

My ipad mini can't locate me on maps..how do i fix it?

my ipad mini can't locate me on maps..how do i fix it?

Is this a WiFi-only iPad, or a WiFi+Cellular unit? If it's a WiFi-only unit, location depends on the WiFi router being registered in Apple's database. If it's not, no location can be returned. I've read that if you have someone with an iPhone with location services turned on connect to that WiFi router, that will update Apple's databases, but I don't know if that's correct and if it is how quickly that will happen.
If you have a WiFi+Cellular iPad, make sure that Location Services are turned on:

@ Bill (winesnob) - bump maps

Hey Bill
What do you know about bump mapping layers?
Premiere, P.S or AEFX
Craig

People with an iPod Touch use Maps with a Wi-Fi connection and people with an iPhone have Wi-Fi and cellular internet access. To download a map or directions does not involve a great deal of data download but will be an additional cost as with any such device when roaming internationally.
Here is the iPhone feedback link.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Another test I just did was to request directions from my current location to a saved bookmark.
After the directions were rendered, I enabled Airplane mode and I was able to view the directions turn by turn without having an internet connection.

Information on mapping and how to configure the mapping?

Hi All
        Experts!!! i am new XI and any one can provide the information mapping ?
        Like purpose of mapping? how to configure ? what are different mappings?
        In detail pls...
Adv..thanks
Cheers
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
Mapping means the conversion from a source message (structure) to a target message (structure).
In this operation you define how fields of the target message are filled using fields of the source message.
You can choose between:
- graphical message mapping
- XSLT Mapping
- Java Mapping
- ABAP Mapping
Tipically it is preferible to use graphical message mapping because it is easier to develope and mantain. In some cases due to special requirements (high volume of messages or big size of messages) you could prefer to use other type of mapping, have a look at this blog to have an idea:<a href="/people/udo.martens/blog/2006/08/23/comparing-performance-of-mapping-programs">Comparing Performance of Mapping Programs</a>

Premiere can't open the Displacement Map filter saved in AE as a PP file. Says DM filter is missing.

Premiere can't open the Displacement Map filter saved in AE as a PP file. Says DM filter is missing. Also get a message that the format of the AE file does not match the sequence. Asks me to keep existing settings or match sequence - neither way works. Tried to dynamic link as well - no luck. I'm a noob, so could be something real simple.
Thanks

Effects or any other features like e.g. text or shape layer, which do not exist in PrPro, can't be translated when you export your AE project as PrPro project. Similar things happen when you replace a clip (or a group of clips) in PrPro timeline with dynamically linked AE composition: titles, quite a few effects and transitions are not translated (at least properly).
However, dynamically linked AE composition is treated as a composite in PrPro. Hence, there should be no issue seeing the result of applying any effect inside dynamically linked composition in PrPro timeline. If you have some difficulties with it, please provide a detailed explanation of what you want to achieve and what you're doing exactly.

Message Mapping - Filter on parent element

Hi,
I'm using message mapping for mapping IDoc ORDERS05 to flat file.
This is the source structure :
ORDERS05 1..1
---- IDOC 1..1
     ---- E1EDKT1 0..99
          ---- TDID 0..1
          ---- TSSPRAS_ISO
          ---- E1EDKT2 0..9999999
               ---- TDLINE 0..1
and this is the target structure :
TCD 1..1
---- TCT 1..unbounded
     ---- TDID
     ---- TDSPRAS
     ---- TDLINE
Can anybody help me about how to do the mapping for having 1 TCT element for each
E1EDKT2 element with parent (E1EDKT1) having field TDID equals to the constant "ZALO" ?
For exemple:
<ORDERS05>
   <IDOC>
      <E1EDKT1>
         <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
         <TSSPRAS_ISO>tdspras1</TSSPRAS_ISO>
         <E1EDKT2>
            <TDLINE>tdline11</TDLINE>
         </E1EDKT2>
         <E1EDKT2>
            <TDLINE>tdline12</TDLINE>
         </E1EDKT2>
      </E1EDKT1>
      <E1EDKT1>
         <TDID>unused</TDID>
         <TSSPRAS_ISO>tdspras2</TSSPRAS_ISO>
         <E1EDKT2>
            <TDLINE>tdline2</TDLINE>
         </E1EDKT2>
      </E1EDKT1>
      <E1EDKT1>
         <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
         <TSSPRAS_ISO>tdspras3</TSSPRAS_ISO>
         <E1EDKT2>
            <TDLINE>tdline3</TDLINE>
         </E1EDKT2>
      </E1EDKT1>
   </IDOC>
</ORDERS05>
must result in :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TCD>
     <TCT>
          <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
          <TDSPRAS>tdspras1</TDSPRAS>
          <TDLINE>tdline11</TDLINE>
     </TCT>
     <TCT>
          <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
          <TDSPRAS>tdspras1</TDSPRAS>
          <TDLINE>tdline12</TDLINE>
     </TCT>
     <TCT>
          <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
          <TDSPRAS>tdspras3</TDSPRAS>
          <TDLINE>tdline3</TDLINE>
     </TCT>
</TCD>
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Hi,
When implementing your solution, I get only 1 TCT per E1EDKT01 (and no more loop on E1EDKT02) and filter on "ZALO" TDID is not working.
<TCT>
     <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
     <TDSPRAS>tdspras1</TDSPRAS>
     <TDLINE>tdline11</TDLINE>
</TCT>
<TCT>
     <TDID>unused</TDID>
     <TDSPRAS>tdspras2</TDSPRAS>
     <TDLINE>tdline2</TDLINE>
</TCT>
<TCT>
     <TDID>ZALO</TDID>
     <TDSPRAS>tdspras3</TDSPRAS>
     <TDLINE>tdline3</TDLINE>
</TCT>
I have changed context of TDID to ORDERS05, and context of E1EDKT2 to ORDERS05 too. Aren't thoses contexts correct?

Windows NDIS filter - how to check if port is used by operating system

Hi,
I am writing a windows NDIS filter driver (for versions 6.0,6.2.6.3) and would like to be able to query from inside the kernel about the status of a tcp port (is it in use?).
The function: FilterReceiveNetBufferLists is called when I receive a packet. Afterwards the tcp header of the packet is extracted. I want to check if the destination port which I've extracted from the header is being used on the local machine.
Can I use WSK Network API, WFP or some other API to check if a port is being used by the operating system? and if so how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

This won't be easy, but you can get the address table by sending IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX to \Device\TCP as documented
here. You'll need to spend some time looking at TCPIOCTL.H in the SDK, too. If you search the Internet for IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX, you'll find some hints on how to use it.

Mapping question - how to remove empty recordsets from output XML?

Hello everyone!
I have a mapping problem I hope you can help me out with.
Here is an example of the source message:
<IDOC>
.    <HEAD>
.    </HEAD>
.    <DET>
.    .    <Node>
.    .    .    <nodeA>001</nodeA>
.    .    .    <nodeB>OA</nodeB>
.    .    </Node>
.    .    <Node>
.    .    .    <nodeB>OB</nodeB>
.    .    </Node>
.    .    <Node>
.    .    .    <nodeA>002</nodeA>
.    .    .    <nodeB>OC</nodeB>
.    .    </Node>
.    </DET>
</IDOC>
After testing the above XML in the message mapping, here's what my target looks like:
<FILE>
.    .    <Rec>
.    .    .    <nA>001</nA>
.    .    .    <nB>OA</nB>
.    .    </Rec>
.    .    <Rec>
.    .    .    <nB>
.    .    .    <nA>
.    .    </Rec>
.    .    <Rec>
.    .    .    <nA>002</nA>
.    .    .    <nB>OC</nB>
.    .    </Rec>
</FILE>
"Node" in the "source" message is mapped to "Rec" in my "target" message.
"Node=" -
> "Rec"
You may notice the the "Rec" in the second entry has empty fields. The reason this is so is because I put an "IF" condition in field "nA" and field "nB" that checks whether "nodeA" in the "source" exists/has a value, and if it doesn't, empty values should be given.
Here's my problem, I need the XML output to be clean. All empty Recs should be removed from the Output XML so that it resembles the one below:
<FILE>
.    .    <Rec>
.    .    .    <nA>001</nA>
.    .    .    <nB>OA</nB>
.    .    </Rec>
.    .    <Rec>
.    .    .    <nA>002</nA>
.    .    .    <nB>OC</nB>
.    .    </Rec>
</FILE>
I've tried several ways to get this done to no avail. Would anyone be able to help me out? I would really, really appreciate it!
Warm regards,
Glenn
