Effect needed

Hi everyone,
I've attached am image file showing an effect where part of an object is being shattered. I wanted to apply the same effect to a different image in Photoshop but I'm not sure how to go about it. Would someone be able to tell me how to achieve this effect? Would I need a bump map or something?
Appreciate any advice.

Theres a few things in After Effects wich will produce similar effects. Those are randomly generated 3D shards - at the moment using Photoshop Extended you could probably take a long time to produce similar effect - each section would have to be indiviually rotated and dealt with- Not the most efficient tool for this job, Photoshop – some kind of 3D tool or After Effects would be better.

Filmstrip photo gallery scrolling effect, need help...

Heya,
If you visit
http://www.hookmedia.biz/cabinet_source/v4_f
and goto the photo gallery you'll notice that the photo gallery
works well except that the filmstrips doesn't scroll left or right.
Now, I built this one based off of a Kirupa tutorial, and when the
photo gallery is in a sepereate .swf it works great. But as soon as
I copy the frames to my site that particular effect, and only that,
stops working. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
You can access the fla at
http://www.hookmedia.biz/cabinet_source/v4_f/index.fla

Thanks aniebel, but I think that'll be a last resort for me
considering I'm nearly done with this one, I just need help fixing
whatever the issue is. But thanks a ton anyway!

MouseOver effect needed ofr map hot spots

Hi friends!
I need help with Adobe flash AS3/ I have a map that I want to make in Flash with mouseover effect. Example map is here http://www.elabram.com/index.php?r=client/index, but it is made with CSS.
What I need?
1) When mouse is over the location pin it must show infobox. Yes similar what Google Places does. but with mouse over effect, not on Click.
I was using Adobe Flash 5.0's default code snippets and got stuck after this code bolow... I'm new to Flash, sorry but learn very fast/
/* Mouse Over Event
Mousing over the symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
   The code will execute when the symbol instance is moused over.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_6);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Start your custom code
          // This example code displays the words "Moused over" in the Output panel.
          trace("Moused over");
          // End your custom code
Thanks in advance
Aldi

BTW,
I just need codes that go here in {} where it says //Start your custom code
function fl_MouseOverHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Start your custom code
          // This example code displays the words "Moused over" in the Output panel.
          trace("Moused over");
          // End your custom code
Thanks

Code does not make any effect:need help

hello friends,
now i am going to describe the problem i am phasing
actually i have embedded japplets in a jsp page(appletjsp) and want to communicate japplets indeed jsp to a servlet in the diffrent derectory but in same context root.
moreover, i have written code at applet and servlet side both. actually there is a next button in one of japplets(embedded in appletjsp) and i have written the code(for servlet communication) inside button's mouse clicked event. and at servlet side, as usual i have got an inputstream from request and want to forward this request(after getting request dispatcher) to another jsp page(proposing to display this jsp page after clicking next button inside appletjsp ).
now the problem that made me a bit confused is that when i click next button after running jsp page(containing japplets) then neither there is any error/exception at server/IE's sun java console nor any effect of code at servlet side.
actually i am not sure that the servlet side code does not make any effect rather it is ony my assumption.
although i am very new in java and as what i know, to send back response to client side, servlet class needs to be run at server side and probabbly for that there must be a sepreat request from client's applet to server(please dont flame me if i am wrong).
so please tell me how can i get running another jsp page running(to which i trying to get request dispatcher inside servlet) after clicking next button?
applet code
        try{

When you formatted the system you erased everything on the harddrive, obviously, and so its just a matter of putting back the Apps and data that you want from your Backup that you made, BEFORE reformatting the harddrive. You did make a backup, didn't you??   Your Time machine or other external harddrive backup can be used with Migration Assistant to return the iLife Apps to the iMac. If he indeed purchased the iLife Apps from the App Store, then you would need to use His Apple ID account to redownload them; not yours.
Oh, and to answer your other question, no, iLife is not a part of any version of OSX itself.
Hope this helps

After Effects Needing .0002GB more of memory, Help!

I am currently careting an informational video for my company in After Effects CC. The video is roughly 4 minutes long but I am breaking it down into smaller projects. The only I am currently working on it about a minute long and is basically just a slide show of products we use. For the slideshow I am using Idustrial Revolution: CoverFlux. I keep trying to preview it but it gets to about 3 seconds and tells me " AE cannot allocate .0002GB of memory to render the current frame.". I have tryed to add More RAM to AE giving it the max it will let me (6.5 GB), I have cleared any Cache, etc and it still will not allow me to render it. Is there any way to give it more memory or do I just need to upgrade the memory of my computer? I have a 27in iMac with 8GB of memory and room for 2 more memory slots saying " each slot accepts a 1600 MHz DDR3 memory module. " If I upgrade to more memory will that help me? Or using an external hard drive?

> I'm using the most up to date AE in the could.
Please give the exact version number.
> One of your program developers was playing around withthose settings he said and it wasn't helping render any more than roughly 5 additional frames.
Who?
Are you meaning to say that you are already in communication with Adobe Technical Support? If so, then you should just continue with that, not here on the forum.

New to After Effects - need help with text manipulation!

Hi all, I'm new to AE and this forum and I'm looking for some advice. I've been asked by the boss at work to create a short video clip, around 10-15 seconds, where text is displayed on the screen (3 words), after the few seconds, I want a 'forging' noise to happen and the final word in the text to be changed to another word and have a metallic effect applied, similar to the effect in this tutorial:
Create Hot Metallic Text in After Effects - After Effects - macProVideo.com Hub
Will this be difficult to do and do you guys think a complete beginner like myself can do it? I've got a lot of experience with the likes of PS, so I'm not too shy with Adobe software.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. So will it be difficult to have one word of text come onto the screen and overlay on top of the existing text, as if it's crashing over it? Any ideas on the steps I would use to do this? Thanks
As you begin your career of using AE, you will change your vocabulary. Overlay will be replaced with spatial references like in front or behind.
Designing text with surface styles like chrome or metal is not difficult. You can even import them from Photoshop if you have some PS chops or friends who can do it quickly.
TEXT ONE can be easily replaced with TEXT TWO in any of dozens of different ways but to drop TWO in front of ONE is easy, you're just setting position keyframes. The finesse of animation, though, lies in the illusion of motion, exaggeration, overshooting and recoil. Your TWO could fall and squish and rebound and bounce or it could raise a dust cloud as it hits or it could make the camera wiggle. These are the things that separate simple key framing from animation and motion graphics.

Gelly circle shape effect, need help.

Hi, would you please help me to create in AE a "gelly" effect applied to a circle shape? I've tried to use a combination of wiggle path properties and time displacement with linear wipe transform but I'm not able to get something similar with this example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0xtwD9D9zw&feature=youtu.be I just captured this sample from other video but it's for personal use.
Thank you!

If you want to use effects, a simple Ripple effect would be more appropriate. Otehr than that you may simply have to keyframe the path shape...

Accordion effect, need help...

Heya,
So I want to create an extremely simple accordion effect. I
tried styling the default accordion component but I couldn't remove
the Halo styling to it, so unless someone can tell me how to do
that I'm looking for basic AS to show and hide a particular MC on
click. Anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi Spencer,
Getting away from halo (something I've been working at for
the last three days) isn't simple, but it's definitely doable.
First, I followed the instructions in Flash help on *creating
a new theme.* As part of those instructions, you'll copy two files:
default.as and AccordionHeaderSkin.as. Through trial and error, you
can fiddle with these two files and pretty much completely define
your own colors, fonts, etc. for all components. I changed my open
header to a gradient, and the closed headers to a different
gradient. It has worked much better and more reliably than using
the getStyle approach.
Search for "theme" and "styles" in help, and follow the
instructions--they worked for me.
But once you get it all hooked up properly and can see your
changes when you Publish Preview your movie, don't freak out if you
make changes to the .as files that don't show up right away. I
found I had to close Flash and open again before most changes
appeared.
Good luck!

Mirror Effect - Need help

I have seen a lot of design comps for mobile apps that have a mirror effect. the phone is 1/2 reflected... Is this an effect with Photoshop or is it more of a 3rd party template?
Any help would be apreciated.

Are you talking about something like this?
It is called a 'Reflection'.
You have many plug-ins that can do this for you within Photoshop.
Also, you can create it manually. There are lot of tutorials. Here's one that does exactly what you see in the image above: http://abduzeedo.com/photoshop-quick-tips-13-creating-reflection

Great effect, need help

Hi, I'm trying to achieve an effect, I'm hoping someone can
help me with.
I want an image to fill the entire screen of a browser window
& automatically resize to fill the window area no matter the
size of the browser; here is the exact effect I'm looking for:
http://www.thewreckers.com/
You'll notice that if you resize the browser window on the x
axis, the image gets smaller, but if you resize on the y axis, the
image
stays the current size and only moves up and down, keeping
the blonde singer's eyes centered on the page.
I'm not a scripter, so exact syntax or even better, a sample
FLA would be amazing! The only complaint I have about the sample is
on Safari, the browser scroll bars show up.
I'm using Flash 8 (AS 2), not CS3
Thanks!
C

one thing this site doesn't do, but the hm site does, is
limit how far you could shrink the flash file down before it forced
the browser to use scroll bars. try stretching the wrecker's site
window to be about 100x100, the background and everything
shrinks/squishes ungracefully.
a way around this is to include some javascript to enforce a
minimum window size rule so that you can preserve the integrity of
the site's minimum boundaries. so say, you know the site looks
weird when seen below 400x300, force the browser to put scroll bars
up accordingly under minWidth and minHeight.
like so:
function onWindowResize( agentaction ) {
var minWidth = 980, minHeight = 600;
var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
if( self.innerHeight ) {
myWidth = self.innerWidth;
myHeight = self.innerHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement &&
document.documentElement.clientWidth ) {
myWidth = document.documentElement.offsetWidth;
myHeight = document.documentElement.offsetHeight;
} else if( document.body &&
document.body.clientWidth ) {
myWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
if( myWidth < minWidth ){
myWidth = minWidth;
if( myHeight < minHeight ){
myHeight = minHeight;
// update content div size
var contentDiv = document.getElementById("flashcontainer");
contentDiv.style.width = myWidth + "px";
contentDiv.style.height = myHeight + "px";
"flashcontainer" is the name of the layer itself
i shamelessly poached this from hm.com... there i said

I'm not sure this will help you. I was poking around under
the Actionscripting forum and found a post similar to yours. Go to
the Flash Actionscripting forum and type in "browser window" in the
search box. The post is called" Flash Re-sizing to Browser window
Size".

Photoshop Droste effect -Need Help-

Hi Adobe
I'm a begginner in photoshop
i want to make a Droste effect just like this pic
any 1 can help ?
thanks in advanced

Welcome to the forum.
I second Curt's suggestion to trash Prefs. They can become corrupted, and uninstalling/reinstalling will NOT change the Prefs file.
You say that you have not made any changes, but how do you have your OS set, regarding updating?
Did not catch your OS, but with Windows, the default is to automatically update, and this is usually transparent, in that the user never even knows that an OS was performed. The problem with this is that a simple OS update, or hot-fix, can render, say a video driver obsolete. If one is using OpenGL, an obsolete video driver can create issues. I would check your make/model of video card/chip, and then the installed driver. Go to the mfgr's Web site, plug in your model of card, and your OS, and check to see if you have the very latest video driver. If not, download that, follow the instructions carefully (usually just install and reboot, but check), and install. I think that Mac OS updates include video driver updates, but am a PC-only guy, so do not know for certain.
Good luck, and hope that trashing the Prefs gets it back for you,
Hunt

Table row appearing / disappearing effect needed

Hi everyone
I have a small 4-row table on my web page. I want the header row only to be showing and then when the mouse rolls over the row, the remaining body rows will appear showing the contents of the table on rollover. On rollout, the rows would disappear, once again showing only the header row. I'm not sure how to accomplish this and wondered if anyone could provide any advice on how to get it working? Not sure if jquery or AJAX or some other language is needed, or perhaps Dreamweaver can accomplish this? Appreciate any advice.

You could use the show/hide behaviour within Dreamweaver to do this. (example code/css below)
Or you might be able to implement a much simpler css class switcher using jquery or javascript. I've had a quick google but I couldn't find much to be honest.

Sound Effects - need 'record needle remove'

Hey all,
Does anyone know where i can find a VERY SPECIFIC sound effect? I am looking for one that is like removing a needle from a vinyl record - it is not a 'rap scratch' which I have found oodles of sound effects for. This would be removing the needle while dragging it across a few of the grooves giving the 'removal scratch'...
thoughts?
thks

have a look "hear" at www.wavcentral.com for a start.... ??
