How to create these effects? What is the most excellent effects resource on interwebs?

I always stumble upon excellent arts with effects I have no idea how to create. I bet most effects are very elementary and easy to create, but I just don't know how.
The most recent ones is this
http://www.wiseidea.net/nightblack/images/2c.jpg
How to create the "old" effect/stain? How about the fire glow+fire stain on paper?
Besides that,
What's the most excellent effects guides you've seen online with great application of effects to artwork?
You don't need to answer all of them, any would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You may try and create overlays with raster images using opacity masks. Also try the blending modes.

    Hi,
    With a lot of pictures I want to have a database to gather some information about these pictures.
    First question is how to generate a record based on a file in the file system?
    e.g. the pictures are "c:\fotos\2009\01\disc_001.jpg" to "c:\foto\2009\01\dis_98.jpg" .
    now i want to create records with as one of the attributes the name of the picture (not the picture itself). how to create these records (based on the information of the file-ssytem). i.e. the number of records should be the same as the number of pictures.

    Those are made with Apophysis either 2.0 or 7x. 7x is newer and has the option to render the flame over transparency. Both versions are freeware.
    http://www.apophysis.org/index.html
    http://metaphysis.xyrus-worx.net/
    Extra plugin scripts can be found here:

    Edit: I should add if you are on Vista, you'll have to set your computer font size to 96 if it isn't already set to that font size in order for the editor tabs to appear.

  • How to create an intro similar to the Mary Tyler Moore Show

    Hi Everyone,
       This is literally my first attempt at working with After Effects. I was wondering how to create an intro similar to the text animation found in this Mary Tyler Moore Show intro video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1GC6yXZ4e4
       I have been able to create a similar effect where the text is a yellow/green with the blue background, but I was wondering how to multiply the text as it appears in that youtube video and how it seemlessly spreads out of the center text. I've searched for youtube tutorials but haven't had any luck. Since I am unfamiliar with all of the terminology of after effects I felt perhaps I wasn't searching for the right term. I did look at the preset text animations but there weren't any that demonstrated what I had in mind. I need to figure this out soon because I'm putting together a video that needs to be completed in a few weeks.
    Thanks in advanced for any advice you could share.

    Three text layers animated in 3D space, then a bunch of duplicates of the text with animated position. It's just layer order and a little work, not a plug-in. Drop that comp in another and use the text pre-comp as a track matte to reveal the video below. These are AE basic skills. Please go through the getting started materials or search Adobe TV for getting started with After Effects.

  • How to create a generalized version of the detailed polygons?

    How to create a generalized version of the detailed polygons?
    I have a table of detailed polygons (100+ vertices) and I want to get generalized version of these polygons.
    For example, assume I have a polygon with 100 vertices. Distance between vertex n and n+1 is 1.0.
    I want to get geometry (generalized polygon, line or point) where distance between vertex n and n+1 is 10.0 or more (I want vertices to be considered as one vertex if distance between them is less then 10.0).
    Is it possible to create generalized version of polygons on the fly?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Scenario A:
    If all of your polygons have no interaction among them (No polygon shares any boundary with any other ones).
    In this case you can use the sdo_util.simplify in 10g to reduce the vertices in your polygons which returns new polygon geometries on the fly.
    If you found that simplify is not doing exactly what you want, you can always roll out your own implementation using PL/SQL or the new SDOAPI JGeoemtry class in Java. Both will give you complete access to the coordinate arrays in a polygon and update them back to the database after you have simplified them in your code.
    Scenario B:
    If your polygons share boundaries, then the above methods will not work since the simplification process may not preserve the topology among your polygons. What you can do then is to use the Java topo package to create a new topology by adding all of your polygons to to an empty topology (which you first create in the database and then load into memory using oracle.spatial.topo.TopoMap). Once you have a topology built in the memory, you can use methods such as oracle.spatial.topo.TopoMap.changeEdgeCoords() to simplify the edges of your polygons. You can then recreate the simplified polygons from the topology. This is just a rough guide; for more details you need to check out the java doc for the various packages mentioned above which are shipped with 10g spatial.

  • How to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document. I tried to copy the entry in IT0195 but the sequence field is grayed out so it will just delete the old record. What configuration should I do to make this possible?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    hi,
    As far as I got it.
    You cannot have multiple Garnishment order but if a need arises you have to maintain it in IT216.
    For that follow this path goto PA30->pernr->194->change->Garnishment->adjustment.
    Since like order you cannot maintain adjustment also directly.

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create a new folder within the video folder in media. I can easily create new folders within the pictures folder but not in videos.....Why??? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
    Soft reboot :
    1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
    - Alt
    - Right Shift
    - Delete
    2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
    Hard reboot :
    1) your Blackberry device is on
    2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
    3) Put the battery back
    4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
    Please tell us if it works for you.

  • How to create "Fisheye Effect" with Photoshop 10, on a Mac computer

    How to create "Fisheye effect" with Photoshop 10 on a Mac computer?

    One way : use the filter : correct camera distortion. Move the remove distortion slider towards left (barrel distortion)
    Or, first increase the canvas size to a square format bigger than the larger dimension of the image and play with the filter : distort, spherize.

  • What is the most cost effective program to "view" only "ai" files, no need to edit

    I would like to know what is the most inexpensive program to view only vector "ai" files.  I receive artwork from artists and need to view, but have no need to edit the work.  I find Illustrator to be very expensive for this view only option.  Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried a few programs on the web such as softusolve and they opened everything but "ai" despite saying it opens these file extensions.
    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    You didn't say what operating system you are using but if all you are doing is looking at the file and you are on a Mac, then try Art View: http://www.code-line.com/artview/
    It provides Quick Look for Illustrator, InDesign, EPS, ASE, and even FreeHand files. Shows what fonts and colors are used in the file and If the AI file has multiple artboards, you can scroll through all of them in the preview. Shows date created and modifed.
    Cost $25.

  • How to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?

    in sql server, you can create a temp table in the memory instead of disk,
    then you can do the insert, delete,update and select on it.
    after finishing, just release it.
    in Oracle,
    I am wonderfing how to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?
    thanks,

    Thanks for rectifying me Howard.
    I just read your full article on this too and its very well explained here:

    Few lines from your article
    It is true, of course, that since Version 8.0 Oracle has provided the ability to create a Keep Pool in the Buffer Cache, which certainly sounds like it can do the job... especially since that word 'keep' is used again. But a keep pool is merely a segregated part of the buffer cache, into which you direct blocks from particular tables (by creating them, or altering them, with the BUFFER POOL KEEP clause). So you can tuck the blocks from such tables out of the way, into their own part of the buffer cache... but that is not the same thing as guaranteeing they'll stay there. If you over-populate the Keep Pool, then its LRU mechanism will kick in and age its contents out just as efficiently as an unsegregated buffer cache would.
    Functionally, therefore, there can be no guarantees. The best you can do is create a sufficiently large Keep Pool, and then choose the tables that will use it with care such that they don’t swamp themselves, and start causing each other to age out back to disk.
    Thanks and Regards
