Creating Cloth

I must stupid but I have been following the instructions at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Director/11.5/Beginners/WS16484b78be4e1542207b595813093835e2c- 8000.html on how to create a cloth.
The instructions on that page are:
member ("physics").createclothresource(modelref, [flipNormals])
member ("physics").createcloth(clothname ,clothres, clothmodel, density,thickness)
So I have set up a 3d world member with a single mesh model and inserted a physics object I called "physics".
Next I've set up a behaviour for the 3D member following the instructions from that link above.
"On beginSprite(me)
sp = sprite(me.spritenum)
mem = sp.member
modelRef = mem.model("plane") -- this a single mesh model
gDensity = 2.0
gThickness = 1.8
a = member("physics").createclothresource(modelref)
member ("physics").createcloth("banner",a, modelRef, gDensity,gThickness)"
However Director alerts an error everytime it encounters the line "a = createclothresource(modelRef) " saying "Error - Script Error -21".
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Many thanks
Art

Thanks Dee
Yep I scoured the online cloth related references via the online docs and came across a demo director filecalled "clothanim.dir" which showed the addModifier(#meshDeform) line you mentioned. So thanks for confirming that. It all works good!
Cheers

Why won't bridge open?

Yes, I'm slow, but it has taken me several months to figure out how to create clothing with lace digitally. I had the big ah hah. I was up all night. It is 6.00am. The creative juices were flowing and then guess what?
Adobe Bridge will not open back up. Why? Because I paid for the Photoshop CC subscription they have been hounding me to join. Apparently I haven't downloaded something or something. Although everything was working just fine on my system.Everything was working fine on the photoshop cc trial. UNTIL NOW. I don't want to stop what I am doing to read some manual. I don't want to stop to trouble shoot . Because before it wasn't broken..
Great the moment is gone. Great

I do not completely understand what you wrote... you HAD the trial but now you have purchased a subscription... is that so?

How do I convert an AI file (CC version) to the DXF-AAMA format?

I am creating clothing and my fashion designers created the pattern in adobe illustrator. Now the contract manufacturer wants a DXF-AAMA format, which is the file format developed by the American Apparel Manufacturers Association in an attempt to solve the difficulties of using DXF files when creating clothing/apparel. How can I do this? I have already created a prototype and printed the fabric/pattern using the AI file (this was done in NY), but the contract manufacturer I am using seems to want this DXF file in the AAMA format. Please help!

One would import the AI file in an apparel design software. AI doesn't support any of this natively.

Product comparison color swatches

Hello Everyone,
I am implementing Product Comparison page. So i have to display color swatches in every product.
I am using most of Out-Of-The-Box features to product comparison.
In the repository level i have created clothing-sku and added to a product.
Then i used /atg/store/droplet/ColorSizeDroplet to list down available color segments for given product.
Still it returns empty color list.
Please share solutions if you came across such issues.

3d model for .dds files from sims 4 help/ponder/confused

Hello all, im just starting out with creating clothes etc for sims 4 and im wondering just what is possible within PS cc. I am able to change textures, layers channels etc of the .dds files but as it stands they are done on a flat surface, my friend has informed me of the amazing possibilities of ps when it comes to 3d modelling. Now what im wondering is can i use the skin mesh that i have managed to get hold of for sims 4 within photo shop as what can best be described as a tailors dummy to place the clothes upon within PS. If it is where do i place the mesh files within the ps folders and how do i get ps to see that the .dds file is tobe placed upon the dummy.
Now if considering the above is doable am i then able to alter the mesh of the clothes items but not effect the dummy as i want the dummy tobe none intractable and unchangeable and only the .dds file i am working on tobe altered. Im also wondering if this is infact possible if it is possible to create items from scratch also from within ps using the technique.
Thanks in advance.

There are two ways to create clothing one is to create a mesh and animate it like Brett mentioned, the other is to use the same mesh and apply a UV Mapped texture to that mesh like poser allows. The difference is one requires a body that has no protruding parts (I'll leave it like that) as they would show through, the other can have a mesh that is away from the body and have thickness to it which can handle protruding parts.
That said creating UV mapped textures in photoshop is fairly strait forward. Where as meshes can be created in photoshop, but it is very rudimentary in how it creates the meshes. It lacks the fine details of point modeling which can help in pushing and pulling of the polygons to make sure it lays correctly. Photoshop as Brett mentioned lack the more advanced animation techniques needed to force the mesh to animate with the underlying mesh.
What I recommend is that you look at the free app called blender you can find it through google. It can do what you need, even if it is a bit weird for a user interface. For paid programs, I recommend looking at poser (Daz has a free version {called Daz studio} that is similar to poser but lacks a few features) Poser can animate a mesh give it bones, etc. But lack modeling features that are required that blender can handle.
Newtek's Lightwave or Luxology (now called the foundry I guess) has modo which is very similar to lightwave but is more modeling heavy than animation heavy, whereas lightwave is the opposite. Both companies were one at one time, I don't know about the split, but that's how modo came to be. Either of these two companies can and will exceed anything you need. Both are extremely fast compared to blender, poser, daz studio or photohshop when it comes to modeling, animating, rendering and some texturing. The textures in these apps have two flavors procedural (math based) and image based. Kind of like comparing photoshop to illustrator, that can do similar things, but each has their strengths and weaknesses.
Something else to look at is UV mapper. It now costs it use to be free years ago. it will take a UV map and help arrange the map so that it is easier to create a uv texture in an image editor like photoshop.
I decided to add a few links. Hope this helps a bit.

Only the redeployment of full application removes the error.
Please suggest if anyone has faced similar issue.

How to remove clothes in photoshop cs5

can anyone let me know how to remove clothes in photoshop cs5? Please help

Or make a selection of the clothes and put on a model showing skin in correct area.
Depending on the area that is to be created this may be the best option – provided lighting conditions, pose etc. fit at least somewhat.

Cost analysis through Purchase Order created from Sales Order

Hi Experts,
This is the scenario: There is an Item No. which is not stocked in warehouse and is purchased only when customers ask for it. The cost of the sales order line having this item is calculated by the Purchase Order line on which the item is there. (The PO have items for other Sales Orders as well. And, Sales Orders have multiple item types) The Sales Order have the PO no. against it and Purchase Order has SO no. against the line. This is all done using MS Access and Sage Accounts. Lots of free typing and manual cost analysis involved.
I have gathered from this forum that we can create Purchase Order from the Sales Order. The Document No. information can be pulled from one another using Formatted Search. Can we do the accounting and cost analysis as well?
Please let me know if I have not made myself clear.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

Hi Ian,
I concur with Faraz, it is better if you use procurement document facility in doing back to back transaction from SO to PO.
However, in your case, I'm afraid you can't analyze the gross profit and recording the accounting related activity as your request using standard SAP B1 function.
As for gross profit case:
Since you're actually using workaround in order to evade all hassles in maintaining all item master data related to this case, you create just one item code called S1 right?
SO DocEntry - SO Line # - Item Code - Item Name - Quantity - Price
1001 - 0 - S1 - Table - 2 - 100
1001 - 1 - S1 - Chair - 8 - 25
1001 - 2 - S1 - Cloth - 3 - 10
PO # - PO Line # - PO BaseEntry (SO DocEntry) - PO BaseLine (SO Line #) - Item Code - Item Name - Quantity - Price
2001 - 0 - 1001 - 0 - S1 - 2 - 100
2001 - 1 - 1001 - 1 - S1 - 8 - 25
2001 - 2 - 1001 - 2 - S1 - 3 - 10
Note that standard B1 gross profit calculation is that system will compare selling price for each item with item cost / certain price list of each respective item. However, in your case, you put all item as a single item master. Thus, system couldn't compare Table to Table, Chair to Chair, Cloth to Cloth since the item cost for these 3 items will be the same, the price list for these 3 items will also be the same since it is actually only one master data. Of course you could update the gross profit calculation manually for each SO, but to be honest it seems rather weird to do this manually.
So, in order to simulate the gross profit calculation, you need to create a custom query and comparing PO line no with SO line no.
As far as accounting related recording concern, I'm afraid you can't do it
1. SO 1 : Item Table - Selling price 130 ; Item Chair - Selling price 30
2. PO 1 (linked to SO 1) : Item Table - Purchase price 100 ; Item Chair - Purchase price 25
3. SO 2 : Item Table - Selling price 150 ; Item Chair - Selling price 40
4. PO 2 (linked to SO 2) : Item Table - Purchase price 110 ; Item Chair - Purchase price 30
Correct me if I'm wrong, you want to record accounting wise that CoGS of Delivery based on SO 1 is 100 for Table and 25 for Chair, isn't it? No matter what costing method you use, you can't achieve this.
If you use moving average, system will average both Table and Chair cost price, since it is actually one item master data. Even if you distinguish each item as a master data, system will average the cost price for Table and Cloth by the time GR for PO 1 and PO 2 occurred.
Example (order by sequence of event):
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100, therefore Item cost = 100
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110, therefore Item cost = 105 (considering quantity only one for both PO)
3. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 105, not 100
To certain extent, same thing could be said with FIFO costing method
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100 (qty 1)
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110 (qty 1)
3. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 100 (qty 1)
4. Delivery based on SO 2 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 110 (qty 1)
At first glance, it seems right since the CoGS for SO 1 is 100, tied up with purchase price for PO 1. And CoGS for SO 2 is 110, tied up with purchase price for PO 2. But we're using assumption here, we're assuming the sequence of Goods Receipt of PO and Delivery of SO occurred in the very same sequence as the issuance of SO and PO.
1. GR based on PO 1 - Table - Purchase price = 100 (qty 1)
2. GR based on PO 2 - Table - Purchase price = 110 (qty 1)
3. Delivery based on SO 2 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 100 (qty 1)
4. Delivery based on SO 1 - Table - CoGS incurred will be 110 (qty 1)
If above scenario / sequence that happened, you will get the wrong figure of gross profit since the Delivery of SO 2 will take the item cost based on GR of PO 1. Since we're actually talking about real life business process, who can guarantee that above scenario wouldn't happen? It is possible that you send goods to customer who ordered late in real life, too much possibility that it is better for you to mitigate such result.
My suggestion would be that you record the accounting transaction based on standard business process, no need to really capture the actual cost and actual gross profit for certain SO and PO. Too complicated, and the software itself doesn't cater this kind of requirement. Best thing you could do only create custom query for gross profit simulation calculation, but for very accurate accounting recording, IMO you should forget it. Hope this help.

Create a multiple Pg PDF with Forms, while adding up total of each page.

My name is Javier Morales, I am working on a project for a client in the clothing business. I created a form that it is working very good. I would like your help on figuring out how to insert additional pages to a Pdf form document and keep on adding the Totals of each page.
My email [email protected] I will really appreciate your prompt response. Right now I have them as single PDF documents, which work fine, as long as I dont try to combine them.

Fields within an AcroForm PDF need to uniquely named unless you want the identically named fields to share the same value.
You may have to rethink your approach. You should look at using the template object to spawn additional pages. Unformtuately templates do not function in versions of Reader before XI.

Can you make custom clothing for 3d Models?

Hello, I am new to Photoshop CS5 Extended and mostly bought the program for making textures for 3d clothing since it has a bridge from DAZ to Photoshop which I hope will make my work go faster. I have been using DAZ and Poser for a while now and have been working in photo editing and vector designing for 12 years. I am not new to this, just need to adobe products. I was wondering if it is possible to custom clothing for 3D Daz models using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended? I can find tutors on painting models but nothing on making the custom clothing itself, not a texture for other clothing but making my own clothing for DAZ Kids4. I have been using Hexagon to work with clothing but was looking for a photoshop alternative method.
Thank you
Kimberly

for the mesh, hexagon is actually better than photoshop. Since it can create the actual mesh. Though, you can import the mesh into photoshop so you can see it while you paint the texture.
The 3d creation portion of photoshop is still a bit limiting. (But my experience stops with CS5. I have not tried CS6 yet, so impovement could have been made)
The issue I have with hexagon is the amount of bugs in it. I prefer a more robust and more expensive alternative. But thats me
A free alternative is Blender. But I find the UI a bit outdated and hard to grasp. But again, thats me.
Generate your UV maps as you normally would then load them into photoshop and get painting. You may like other texture generating apps to go along with photoshop. Genetica is great for making tileable textures.

Creating template from template / editable regions

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help me.
I am creating an online clothing shop website and am having trouble with creating category pages.
I have created the template with all headers, logos, footer, a spry menu etc.
I have then from the template (via new - Page from template etc) pages for mens / womens / shoes
This part is all fine.
However each of these pages ie. the 'mens' will have pages per category created from it for mens shirts, mens top etc.
For example I need a list of each category on the mens page that I dont want to appear on any other pages, just all of the mens category pages (tops, shorts etc) and this will also be done for the womens pages.
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
How can I insert a category list into the 'mens' template that will reflect the changes I make in the category pages? As I don't want to manually update each individual category page.
I hope this makes sense and someone can help me out
Thanks

What is your skill level with HTML and CSS?
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
This is not a good start. You do not want to begin using nested templates for anything.
One simple way (although not the optimal way) to do what you want to do is to make the place on the page where you want the lists to appear into an editable region in the template. Then create a variety of Library items (in DW) each of which contains only the list for each of your categories. On the appropriate child pages, insert the associated list into the editable region. So, for example, the men's page will have the men's list, etc.
A Library item is like a mini-template in that changes made to any given Library item are automatically propagated to all instances where that Library item is being used.
Is that what you are after?

Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SBO2005B

Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SAP Business One 2005B.
We are working for button manufacturer.
Each button will have type,color, size, thickness.
There are about 100 types, 40 colors, 30 sizes, 10 thickness, 500 models.
It looks to be approximately above 30lacs item codes has to be created.
Is there any performance issues or any other known issues towards the large item lists.

Hi,
There is no real limit on the number of items you can create (well, the item code is a 20 character key so theoretically the limit is the total number of possible combinations of letters and characters in that key).
Performance can be an issue with a large inventory, as well as database size (particularly if you have a large inventory and a large number of warehouses). Some issues such as the speed of lookups can be avoided by changing system settings but other issues such as the speed of inventory reports are inevitable going to take longer for larger inventories.
Have you done any research on looking for SBO addons for the clothing industry? It might be worth searching the CPSN for such addons (ie ones that can deal with sizes, colours etc) as these may help greatly in keeping the number of stock items down to a minimum.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Ecommerce site - how do I create several product pages using only one table of data?

Hi
Im designing an ecommerce clothing site for my assignment using an access database.
When I create the Data Set it takes all the information from my Acess table "Products" , creating one huge list of products on a single web page.
However, i would like to have the product data split across many web pages depending on there specific Category given [i.e. T-shirts, Jumpers, Trousers, Bags, Acessories].
Does anybody know how to do this? I think it involves setting certain Parameters, or writing a SQL statement in Dataset.
Thanks for any help

Creating instance oracle 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 32bit

Hello,
I'm trying to install oracle database (10.2.0.3 with patch 10.2.0.4) on Windows 2008 32bit.
I first installed the Oracle software, and then started to create the instance. But the dbca gives me following error:
ora-12560:TNS:protocol adapter
and instance creations fails. Also trying to create the service via the oradim fails.
Then I found this:
Install Oracle 10.2.0.3 (Vista/2008 version) on Windows 2008 Active Directory Controller.
When trying to create the database, around 2% completion, the error ORA-12560 will occur.
This Problem does NOT reproduce on a Member server. Only the Active Directory Controller.
Cause
This is currently logged as Bug 7263061.
Solution
Currently, the only workaround is to Install the software on a Non-Controller machine.
You can try demoting the Controller machine to a Member machine.
Perform the install, create the database.
When everything is setup correctly, you can promote the machine back to a Controller.
However, be aware you may have to go through these steps whenever you create a new DB.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1388) A new member could not be added to a local group because
the member has the wrong account type.
WORKAROUND:
None
so workaround none? or you make that controller machine to a non-controller, but this doesn't seem to be a good solution if that server is already in production???
Is there possible another solutions to get around this?
This means that I can't install Oracle on a Windows 2008? Customers will be happy, maybe I can switch them all to Linux? ;)

I care about low-budget shops, too. It's one reason you won't find me extolling the virtues of (for example) solid state hard disks, which are still not cheap enough for mass deployment.
But come on! A shop that can ONLY afford one server and one Windows license? And yet they want to install Oracle?? Really??!
I think instead of banging your head against an installation brick wall, you should help your clients and customers cut their cloth according to their means. If they want to run Oracle, then they should resource accordingly. For about AU$2500 or less, they could purchase an additional, quite capable server, install Linux on it (OEL for $99 per year, or Centos (say) for absolutely nothing), and have themselves a dedicated Oracle server running perfectly fine in a mostly-Windows environment. (The OS the database runs on is irrelevant to anyone making use of the database's capabilities, after all). If they can't spring for even that sort of money, encourage them to adjust their standard to be more realistic: a cheap desktop PC can be purchased for mere hundreds of dollars, have a free OS, and have Oracle installed (unsupported) on top of that. If even that is a step to far, I'd suggest using MySQL or Postgres instead of Oracle.
So whilst I'm certain you're not the only one encountering the problems of working in low budget environments, I'd say this is going to extremes. If someone wants to run Oracle, and if they've stumped up the several thousand dollars necessary to purchase it, it seems utter madness not to come up with a few hundred dollars more to get it running on a dedicated machine. It would be like me being able to afford the Ferrari, but not the cost of the petrol to run it on!
A suggestion I made to a lawyer friend of mine recently: purchase an Asus EEE Desktop (cost: AU$499, for 1GB RAM and 120GB HDD), replace its Windows Home Os with Ubuntu, install Oracle XE (cost: $0), attach 1TB USB drive as backup mechanism (cost: AU$210). He now runs a dedicated Oracle database server for less than US$500. I wouldn't exactly recommend that sort of thing for mission-critical environments, but it will do the job he needs it to do! The point, though, is that you just have to be realistic about it, and create an environment that matches your requirements -without picking a fight from the get-go with the installer!

Suggest you are unaware of the fundamental difference between Illustrator and Photoshop. Photoshop is an raster image editor. It works by adjusting and moving pixels. Pixels are like tiny Legos that make up an image. Look closely enough and you can see the Legos. Illustrator is a vector graphic editor. It works by manipulating the shapes that an image appears to be made from.
The web page you're looking at is a good example. Each letter is a shape that is scales to size and positioned according to the HTML layout instructions in the page's code. If you were to edit this page as a vector (Illustrator) you could be-size or reposition the frames that determine where text goes. You could edit the text, move letters and words around, change the font or the size of the text, and more.
If you were to edit the page as a raster (Photoshop). You'd be more limited in some ways, since all you'd be working with is the image of the text, not the text itself. You wouldn't necessarily be able to do
less. You'd be using different tools. If what you wanted was to edit the text or reformat it, then Illustrator would have the right tools for that job. If you wanted to blur the text or erase some of it as if wiping an eraser over the page, then Photoshop would have the better tools for that job.
Without seeing the image you tried to post, I'm going to assume it's a realisitic looking illustration, like
this one. That was drawn by a pro with years of experience with Illustrator and years more skill as an artist. If you want to make that image, you're going to have to go to school for a long time.
