Graphic animation and texture technique

Hello Adobe,
I'm wanting mock this graphic within after effects and wondering how I can get this same animation and texture effect from solids or shape layers? Watch video below (5s).

Thank you.

If you mean the graphic then layer your shapes with gradients for fills then add the other elements. Basic illustrating skills are all that is required. Then you just animate the shapes one layer at a time until you get the look you want.
These are the most basic skills. There's nothing automatic that you can just push a button or click the checkbox to duplicate this animated graphic.

I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP...Programs slowing need up grade

Hey everyoe,
I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP. My programs get REALLY SLOW, ToonBoom Harmony and Sometimes Illustrator, HELP! I upgraded my Ram to 16GB LONG time ago and it's made a big difference but still the stuff I make is semi complicated/detailed I can't imagine this is the strength of my MBP I refuse to accept that. WIth that said HELP ME PLZ!!! I have deadlines and I dont know what else to do! Steve Jobs my life is your hands right now man...

Maz0327,
if you boot into Safe mode, log in, and run your graphic design and animation apps, do they run just as slowly then?

Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== June 30th, 2010

If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
Update browser
Remove unwanted Add-ons
Remove unwanted Tool-bars
Repair Registry
Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
Open Flash Video in browser
Right click on Video Player | Settings
Open Display Panel
Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

What is the best Mac choice for creating pro-level art/graphics/animation?

I'm an artist who does a lot of work with Adobe Creative Suite CS5, as well as some video editing and lots of animation. I've been using a 2007 model 15-inch Macbook Pro for the last 4 years, and it seems like it's time to upgrade...it runs burning hot all the time, and the battery dies pretty quick when the cord falls out. It seems like the whole thing is running a little slow, which is probably because I have a TON of graphics/animation/video software on there, but I need each and every program.
My question is, what is the best new Mac to purchase to replace this one? I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible, and will be able to handle the programs I use now. My first thought is to get another Macbook Pro, because of the portability, and just add on all the higher RAM, etc to customize it. But my husband suggested looking into the Mac Mini, because it's a lot cheaper, and we're a little strapped for cash at the moment. Would that serve the purpose? Or is a Macbook Pro really the best choice for what I need it to do?
I'd love to hear suggestions from other artists or graphics people. What do you recommend?

For a "cash strapped" person, unless you already
have a monitor, one of the new iMacs may be
a better choice. If you do have a monitor, I would
suggest the dual core i7 equipt MacMini. Since you state
you are using CS5 stuff, most Adobe apps,
Photoshop for example, do not make effective
use of multiple cores. Also, using any of the
Adobe products, regardless of which computer
you decide on, get as much RAM as you can afford.

PCI-E graphics card and system memory conflict.

Hello,
I have a bit of a strange problem with my new system build.
All my parts work fine when used by them selves.
MSI KN8 diamond.
Athlon 3200 64bit 939 Winchester.
Crucial Ballistix PC4000 memory.
Inno3D 6800GT PCI-E
Thermaltake purepower 680W.
The problem arises when I try and use both the memory and graphics card card at the same time, the system does not post stating a memory problem. I know both work as I’m able to post when either is removed i.e when running with a standard PCI graphics card or when the memory is swapped. I’ve checked out a lot of forums over the last 2 weeks and I know there are a lot of people out there running with the same memory. I’ve tried under clocking the memory with no success. Can anyone shed any light on this problem as I’ve never had a conflict between a graphics card and memory before.
Thanks John

Need to make a couple of changes as there appears to be a possible issue with the loading of the Optimized Default setting in the bios, and I quote from MSI:
Quote
After loading the Optimized Default, the memory setting values will be optimized to achieve better performance. It is, however, likely to cause problems of compatibility.
Which seems to be the exact issue you are experiencing. First thing I would do is to manually set your vdimm to 2.8v in the bios. This will make sure that your memory is getting the correct voltages as the AUTO setting usually sets memory to 2.5v. This alone could eliminate your problem, but I think you'll have to comb through your memory timings and reset them, (Crucial lists 2.5-4-4-8 @ DDR500 speeds, so I'd try 2-3-3-6 or 2.5-3-3-6 for DDR400 speeds).
There is also an official bios 1.1 for your board, and a beta (5.01) from the Diamond Club. I'd stay with the official releases for the time being (until you get your board up and running properly).

Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

Graphics card and CD problems

Hello,
I recently partitioned my hard drive into two primary partitions and installed Solaris 9 x86 on one of them.
The first problem I had was kdmconfig. I have an nVidia GeForce4 graphics card, and it was not listed - only up to geforce3 was listed. I tried that, but the test did not work. I got an error (something about InitScreen and SUNWnvidia). I eventually chose the topmost option (16 colors at 640x480) and that one tested fine, but obviously, its a horrible display. How would I get a Solaris driver for my GeForce4? I believe I would need it on a floppy (or a series of floppies) so that I can choose Add Driver and use the floppies. However, I do not know where to find these drivers.
Secondly, after it prompted me to insert CD2, it gave me an error saying CD2 could not be read. I burned the CD2 image at 20x (rather than the normal 40x) and it still gave me this error. How do I get past it?
Finally, Solaris has blocked my entrance to Windows XP. When I start up my computer, I get a SunOS blue-background with two choices: the Solaris partition and my Windows partition. Choosing my windows partition gives me an error (saying some sig file could not be found) and choosing the Solaris partition starts the device configuration manager which eventually leads me to the desktop login screen (black and white, horrible resolution). How do I get to Windows XP?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I am having a similar issue. Let me know if you find a solution.

Should we avoid Graphical mapping and stick with Java mapping?

After developing mappings in XI for a month, I just don't see any good reasons to use Graphical mappings over Java mappings. Maybe some experienced users here can give me some valid reasons why we should choose Graphical mappings. Here is what I think:
Disadvantages of Graphical mappings:
1. No way to perform automated unit testings. This is probably the biggest reason I hate it. You can do some tests manually when you work in Integration Builder. But there is no way you can write some unit testing utilities to automate the task.
2. Complexity. Even for some simple requirements, your Graphical mappings can become complicated and hard to understand. A lot of times, I find myself staring at several dozens of graphical nodes and try to understand what it does.
3. Impossible to reuse. This is totally against the DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principle. For example, to generate messages for JDBC adapter, it is common to have two identical fields for primary keys: one in the access node and another in the key node. If you change the mapping logic in one, you have to remember to change the other.
Advantage with Java mappings:
1. Fully automated unit testing. You can create JUnit tests along with your Java mapping classes and use Maven or other build tools to perform automated unit testing.
2. Your choice of XML parsing and binding. With Java mapping, you can choose any open source framework for XML parsing and binding. For example, with XMLBeans, I can convert XML input message to a Java object, transform to another Java object and write to output message. And each Java object is generated from its corresponding XML schema.
3. Highly reusable. We can use fundamental object-oriented designs to create highly reusable mapping components.
4. Better version control. Since the mappings are just Java classes, we can use CVS or SVN to track code changes.
5. Better build tools. We can fully utilize build tools like Ant and Maven to automate the build, unit tests, or even generate documents and mapping web sites.
So do you guys agree? Maybe I am still new to XI or I am missing some important things. But at this point, I just don't see why I should use Graphical mappings. Is there anyone developing XI interfaces completely with Java mappings?
Thanks in advance for any comments!

Could you explain more why the graphical mapping has better performance? I thought the graphical mapping is compiled into a Java class in the runtime anyway.
> Yes thats there, but same goes with Java mapping too
> right (if you haven't mentioned it as constants)
I mainly think about inheritance. If I have to build 10 interfaces and they all have some common behavior, I can create a base interface class to encapsulate the common logic. But with graphical mapping, you have to duplicate them in each interface.
> Disadvantages of Java mapping:
> 1. Performance
Same as above. I just don't see why Java has worse performance. I actually think Java should have better performance. You can optimize the code anyway you want. In some cases, you have to use queue functions in graphical mapping but it's not necessary in Java.
> 2. All might not be well versed with Java Code(though

I am not asking everyone to abandon graphical mapping. I am just wondering which one is better when you have skills for both.

You can create functions in Java too. All you have to do is to remember the function name.

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Laggy scrolling/animations and tricky touchpad on MacBook Pro w/Retina Display

As much as I loved the form factor and screen on the 15" 2.6ghz MBP w/Retina Display, the laggy scrolling, animations and intermimitently non-functional tap-to-click made me return it to Best Buy. A $3000 computer (after tax) shouldn't have problems that my Early 2011 MBP doesn't have. I thought the 10.8.2 update might fix this, but unfortunately it has not, even after a clean wipe.
Side note - 10.8.2 also made my 2011 MBP's battery literally drop by 1% a minute when on battery power. It's also ridiculously hotter. Unusable as a portable device.
Another side note - Best Buy really dillutes/degrades Apples great brand. The Apple Specialist in my local Best Buy in Dublin, CA is quite cranky and condescending. That will be the last time I buy an Apple product from Best Buy.

3d modeling and texturing in Photoshop CS3 Extended

I spent longer than I care to admit today trying to figure out how to get a model into Photoshop and texture it. I couldn't find any native tools for modeling or texturing, which led me to do these things in external tools, relying on Photoshop for compositing and rendering. Hopefully future versions of Photoshop will make this easier.
I first tried Google Sketchup, but was having trouble figuring out how to texture and UV map the model, so I turned to Discreet's GMax. A few years back, Discreet released a free version of 3D Studio MAX without the rendering or exporting features, targeted at game developers. GMax's interface is just like 3D Studio MAX, so if you have any experience there, you're golden.
The trick is getting the file out of GMax and into Photoshop without ruining the textures. To do this, I used Baltram's ASE Exporter, which is a script that traces the geometry of your model into the MAXScript console. You can then copy/paste this into a text file, with an ASE extension, or use GMaxSLGrab to do it for you. Finally, I used Biturn to convert from ASE to 3DS, and imported into Photoshop using File>Open.
GMax -> http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax
Biturn -> http://mirex.mypage.sk/FILES/bi088.rar
ASE Exporter -> http://urnemanden.com/dload/asc+aseExpv2.11_en.ms
Note: GMax is intended for use by the independent/homebrew game community. If this is not your intention, you may want to check the GMax EULA. I am not responsible for any use of the above information to violate it - proceed at your own risk.

What is the Best Power MAC G5 for Graphic Design and Video Edit

I need the Best Power MAC G5 Processor CPU
and Ram HDD Graphic card for Graphic Design and Video Edit
and the name of the Processor
how much the price

Hi GabreilKnight;
You are aware that the PowerMac G5 is no longer being produced hence if you find one it will be on the used market?
For what you are looking at doing I would suggest that you consider a Mac Pro instead.

Making an interactive pdf with animations and a video?

Hi Everyone,
I'm working in InDesign CS6 and I've made a interactive pdf with swf animations, exported it to an interactive pdf and everything works great from the little animations to the page curl. Now, I would like to put a video in on one of the pages.
I've placed it as a .mov and a .mp4, exported as a .swf. It works great in the swf and the html file. It even works great when I export the video page as a interactive pdf by itself.
BUT, when I export all the pages in my doc (with the animations and the video) as a swf, then RE-import into ID, to export as a interactive pdf... the pdf only gives me a static window. ALL the other animations and page curls work though.
So there's a disconnect between the video and going from a swf to a interactive pdf.
Can anyone tell me what step I'm missing or if this just isn't possible yet?!
Thanks so much!!!

Without seeing actual file, it´s hard to say what´s going on... but have you chekced that Flash Player in Acrobat finds your video? When you export SWF from InDesign, videos or any other placed rich media files are not embedded into the SWF. InDesign creates a resources folder next to SWF and stores those media assets into that folder. If you don´t have that folder same place with exported SWF, you will have problems.
If you place your video file into your layout and export as PDF, there shouldn´t be any problems. But if you place your video file into your layout, export as SWF, place that SWF back to InDesign and then export as PDF... then you will lose the connection between resulting PDF and resources InDesign created.
One way to solve that is to use public URL for placing videos. Thwn you won´t need actual video file stored locally. Downside is that Acrobat/Reader may throw an alert about that.
Another way is to open your Interactive PDF to Acrobat, select placed SWF and embedd resources folder into PDF manually.

How do I go about animating and using the animated scene?

I am trying to work out the smartest way to do an animation and I hope someone can help me here.
I have a scene with water and 2 boats and I need to get the boats moving as if they are swaying in the water at the dock. The user will be able to click one of the boats and that will lead to another scene that have similar motion to make it look alive. This is only one part of a broader project I am working on. There is going to be many such scenes like I described with the boats where some objects will give slight motion to make it look alive. Each scene leads to another scene. The way I figured I would do this is animating the scene in flash without much programming if any at all, ie, using the timeline. And then my concept what to export that as some kind of flash and then be able to use that flash in my overall flash project. Does that make sense?
For an example kind of how the scene will feel I have included a link here to a site:
http://www.saizenmedia.com/nightwish/
So my question is, is what I described above a good way to go about it? If so does someone more understand how they would do it? or is there a better way to go about it?
Thanks for any help!

I'm having second thoughts here... maybe it should I should do it in After Effects and export it as a flash?
Anyone?
