How to create a textured background

Hi,
I am very new to Java3D and I need help on how to create a textured background instead of using plain colors. I want to use a jpeg file for the background. Could anyone tell me a sample algorithm that will load this jpeg file and then set it up as the Scene's background?
Thank you,
Rubydium.

What you want to do is create a background node and add an object textured on the inside. Here is a bit of sample code:
BranchGroup bgGeometry = new BranchGroup();
Appearance App = new Appearance();
try {
   Texture tex = new TextureLoader(new java.net.URL(filePath+"yourTexture.jpg"), this).getTexture();
   App.setTexture(tex);
catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
Sphere outerWorld = new Sphere( 1.0f, Primitive.GENERATE_TEXTURE_COORDS | Primitive.GENERATE_NORMALS_INWARD, App);
bgGeometry.addChild(outerWorld); As you can probably tell, this is just creating a new BranchGroup and appearance and populating it with a sphere that displays it's appearance inwards.
Background bg = new Background();
bg.setApplicationBounds(bounds);
bg.setGeometry(bgGeometry);
objRoot.addChild(bg);

How to create noise texture - Illustrator Tips

Hello. I saw this piece of art on one of the Illustrator tips & techniques section, and was wondering if someone knew how to create this "noise" texture in Illustrator?
What I've had to do in the past to get a similar effect was to complete my illustration in Illustrator, then bring that artwork into Photoshop and paint over the desired areas... but this looks a lot nicer than the results I've gotten. If this can be done in vector, that would be another plus!
Does anyone have any insight they could share on this?
Thank you!

You are welcome.
The site of which that tutorial is a part (HERE) has a lot of good tutorials, including a few more about adding texture in Illustrator.

How to create a Faded background

I'm using Fireworks CS3.
I have created a new canvas and saved it as a .png. I now want to create a faded background. So I select the gradient tool and define the details of the color, etc BUT when I mouseover the canvas I get a circle with a slash through it pointer and I'm unable to apply the gradient.
What do I need to do with a new canvas before i can start applying the gradient tool to it?
Thank you kindly!

The canvas is just that - a canvas. You need to draw a rectangle shape on the canvas using the vector tools, and use the gradient on the rectangle.

How to Create a Texture in Muse

Is there a way to create or get a texture for a solid color in muse? My goal is to fill a box with a texture similar to the ones below. Thanks in advance.

I was hoping someone would reply with an answer, as I would really like to have this functionality. My guess is that it is not possible at this time.
In the past, I've used Fireworks to design the components of my websites, and you could fill shapes with textures. But I have to remember that Muse is not an image editor like Fireworks or Photoshop and if I want something more complex than a solid color fill or gradient, I have to build it outside of Muse and import it.

How to create this texture?

this is a common texute I've seen around, but I am not very familar with the filters in photoshop/illustrator, can any boday help me to finally figure this out?
Thanks in advance!

Gary, if you look closely, you can see a fine dot pattern overlaying the image, and that would probably be better described as a texture than the cartoon like reduced colour bit depth.
You can add the fine dots using Filter > Sketch > Half tone. Add a new layer above the graphic, and fill with 50% grey. Apply the Halftone filter to it, and set its blend mode to Overlay. It's the same method as non destructive dodge and burn, or course, but it works very nicely for adding noise, or texture non-destructively. You can edit the texture layer directly, or do a non-destructive edit to your non-destructive texture, by clipping a levels or curves adjustment layer to it.

How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

V.V.

How to create the perfect gradient in motion

Floating point math. Open your project properties (CMD+J) and change the bit depth to 16 or 32 bit float. It'll cause a tremendous slowdown of playback, but presumably you should just be able to leave it off until you're ready to export.
Also, use the best compression you can afford to. Uncompressed, Animation (maybe), or even a TIFF sequence. The less you're compressing the file, the better it'll look.

Create a unique background?

Hi there,
I'm working with RoboHelp HTML 8 and I'm trying to create a unique background for the first page that opens in my help file. I was hoping to include a watermark of our company logo. But I don't want this logo to display for the rest of the pages of the help file. After looking through Adobe' help, it looks like you can maybe do this by creating master pages. The steps seems kind of confusing or maybe I'm just misunderstanding the purpose of master pages. Either way, is someone aware of how to create a unique background that can be linked to one topic only?
Thanks!

Hi all
Just to expound on Willam's comments a tad.
W. van Weelden wrote:
A masterpage is a template. You add a style sheet, certain standard text, a header and a footer. You control the headers and footers for all pages related to the masterpage from that masterpage. A new page based on the masterpage also uses the same style sheet as the masterpage and has the standard text.
With RoboHelp 8 (this version introduces Master Pages that replace Topic Templates) you also have other capabilities that you may not realize. You are also able to insert PlaceHolders. Mini-TOC and Breadcrumbs. The placeholders don't necessarily have to be restricted to the Body, Header or Footer.

How to create a background textures

Hello,
Are there classes in any package to create colored textures for background swing components ?
If so, thanks to point me to URLs or samples.

The basic packages for drawing 2D graphics are found in "java.awt.*", and for your specific needs you need the various implementations of the Paint interface, ie GradientPaint, TexturePaint, etc.
See: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Paint.html
To paint various graphics you need a JPanel and then you need to override the "paintComponent(Graphics g)" method and do your own custom painting.

How to create a blank theme with no embedded textures?

Hi,
I have created a custom theme based on the "White" theme thinking that it was truly blank. But when I save my new theme, I see that it weighs a hefty 11Mb.
After looking in the package contents, I see that there are marble textures remaining from the White theme. These are used on the default charts.
I tried creating new default charts that contain none of the textures but they are still saved with the template. I cannot delete these files directly in the package because I get a "Missing File" error when using the theme. Unchecking "Copy theme images into document" in the preferences doesn't change anything.
My question is: how do you create a truly empty theme with no textures nor images embedded in the package?
Many thanks for any ideas.

egoes, if you haven't already, you might consult the Keynote User Guide, page 181. The guide talks about how to create new themes, and how to define default chart styles for those themes. The instructions are unfortunately not terribly clear, but it appears that you have to create default charts for each chart type. (I would imagine that the new theme would use old defaults for any charts that aren't newly defined, which would leave in the textures you want to eliminate.)
If you have no luck following the User Guide directions, and size is important, you might instead start with a smaller theme as your base (e.g., Pinstripe is only 3.1MB, and the default graph fill is a colour fill, not a texture). From this you can strip out the background and other graphics you don't want. With just a blank Master with the background removed, this theme is only 612KB. This is likely the easiest way to produce what you want.
