IK Bones STILL shrinking

It has been a known issue for years that bones continually shrink 0.001% or so as movements/rotations are made ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/37356 ). I experienced this problem to the extreme in CS4 with the shrinking compounding up to 20% over the course of 1000 frames. Recently I purchased CS5.5 and was disappointed to see this problem still exists. I love the faster speed of the bone engine but this problem is a huge thorn in the side of serious IK bones users.
Is there a setting or something I'm missing? I have unchecked the "auto transform" option in Preferences -> Drawing but it hasn't seemed to change anything other than forcing the bone to connect to the transform point. I have also tried resetting the scale in the Transform panel after each movement but it's both tedius and inneffective. I long for the option to lock the scale of bones in an armature but it doesn't seem to exist. Is there anything I can do to remedy or better cope with this bug?
Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Seqment shrink with function based indexes - 10.2.0.3

    I see 10g Rel 2 limiation with function based index while doing segment shrink. Is their a workaround? I tried to drop the function based index before shrink, still shrink is taking several hrs to complete.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Analogy: suppose you have 1 million barrels filled with water near 85% maybe less, now you spilled ...say 40% the total water, maybe you have 400,000 empty barrels or the equivalent (here comes the overhead) you are going to concentrate the water in 600,000 barrels and return the empty ones to the "Oracle Server" store, just to reclaim them gradually until you have the starting 1 million barrel.
    Our advise: keep the objects as they are, both table and index. Oracle will use released space as efficiently as he can, which is (at that level) better than us.
    You're worried about the index space? much better leave it now, that's the structure which may cause the major part of overhead.

  • DB backup still running, but in DB13 already status "Finished with errors"

    Hi,
    firstly, I am not regular DB administrator, so please be patient with me.
    On 5.4.2010, 20:00 started on our server regullary planned online complete DB backup. Now (runing for more than 39 hours - DB size is only 300GB and last time, when it successfully finished, it takes less than 12 hours) I see in DB13 this backup with status "Finished with errors", but in SM37 this job is still with status "Active" so it seems to be running. On HDD where backup should be stored is created file with size 0 B. In job protocol and program protocol are only standard messages, nothing indicates that there is any error. OS is Windows Server 2008.
    Program log:
    DBA Action starts:

    Anybody have idea what is doing there?

    Thanks Adrian,
    in DB50, DBAHIST has following record for this backup:
    04-05 20:00:40 20100405200040 sda D01      DATA             9999 20100405200040
    so it is still active. But when i launched DB50, there appears popup with question
    Do you want to branch to the "Open Alerts" display ?
    when i choose Yes, alerts are displayed, and there are some records like this
    07.04.2010     14:50:08     D01     MaxDB Monitoring: D01     Last Backup     Last Complete Data Backup Return Code     ACTIVE     0002 - ERROR
    i dont know if it means anything...
    Also in table SDBADSDB is following record:
    1     20:00:00     20100216134109     D01     20100405200000     20100405200038     ALLNC     sda     20100405200040     20100405200040     9999          Update task ADA_INSERT_SDBADSDB 01     
    => EXT2 contains "Update task ADA_INSERT_SDBADSDB 01"
    So I think only opening CSN message is only applicable here... but how to do it and what exactly is CSN message (like I said, I am not regular administrator...)?
    And also I have found another strange issue - although file with DB backup has still 0 B, free space on that HDD is still shrinking, but no sizes of directories are increasing... in numbers - all files on that HDD (including hidden and system files) have 663 GB, but in properties of this HDD is that 1.06 TB is used - so the difference is cca 400GB (what is 2x more than previous complete DB backup and +100GB to actual DB size...).

  • Runtime bones does not work if imported by Flash (example included)

    Created a runtime bone animation (more complicated than the one included in this example).  When I loaded the swf using the Loader class in master application, the runtime animation stopped working.  The authortime bones still work.
    I included my source files for the bones, and another fla that only calls the Document class Main.as.  Try running bonesRuntime.html, and the runtime bones work; call bonesSwfLoader.html and only the authortime bones work.
    Is this a bug or a programming error?

    I found the solution at http://www.mad.com.au/blog/?p=208
    I quote: (Paul Burnett)
    Tip – loading a swf with a Bones Armature (IK) into another swf
    A few people have asked me how to load a swf file that contains an armature, into another swf file. If you just try to do it the armature doesn’t work. The trick is that you need to register the armature in the loader file. I have attached a couple of very simple files to demonstrate. The bones.swf contains a simple armiture set to ‘Runtime’. The ‘loader.swf’ loads the bones.swf and registers the armature. For more info check out the new IK class in Flash CS4.
    import fl.ik.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    //load the bones swf
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("bones.swf");
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.load(request);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init);
    //set up the vars
    var boneClip:Sprite;
    var myArmature:IKArmature;
    function init(e:Event):void{
         //add the clip to the stage
         boneClip = Sprite(loader.content);
         addChild(boneClip);
         //set up IK
         IKManager.setStage(stage);
         myArmature = IKManager.getArmatureAt(0);
         myArmature.registerElements(stage);
         IKManager.trackAllArmatures(true);

  • Can I use Time Capsule for iTunes Library?

    I have a Macbook Pro, an Apple TV, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones at home. Just bought 2TB Time Capsule today.
    My kids purchased a lot of movies/TV shows from iTunes store, and it is building up lots of space in my MacBook. I also like to rip my CDs into Apple Losses Format to enjoy on my iPhone.
    My Macbook is running out of space, I wonder if I can point my iTunes Library (Music, Videos) to Time Capsule. In other words, I hope to have access to my Music library whenever my iPhone is connected to my MacBook, and most importantly, the kids will be able to access their movies/TV shows from Apple TV / iPads.
    Could someone please advice how to do that? Thanks!

    Thanks!
    Bob, if you don't me asking some details - if I will buy an external harddisk to store my itunes library:
    1). Does it mean everytime I open iTunes (or before I connect any device), I have to ensure the external harddisk is connected vis USB?
    2). Say I have some 50GB of data on my MacBook. If I modify Preference/iTunes Media Folder Location, will all the data be "moved" to the external USB drive automatically?
    3). When we talked about "moving iTunes Media folder", does it include everything (i.e. my iPhone, iPad, backup, apps, etc), or it is just Music/Books/TV Shows/Movies?
    Shamefully speaking, I might be a stupid dad - I used iPhotos to import all pictures/videos from Digital Camera, iPhones, iPads for a year, until last night I installed Aperture 3. I selected a folder "Pictures" and clicked Import from iPhoto Library, then I was shocked ....my Macbook HDD space shrinks from 40GB free to 1.29GB and still shrinking....as a result I had to move some of my music, videos to trash (to free up another 20 GB of space). Until Aperture finished importing all photos, I had only 2.5GB free
    This morning, the first thing I did is to buy a Time Capsule, and try to free up spaces on my Macbook

  • I hope this is in the correct section....

    I have an opinion to put out here into the community to see what everyone else thinks.  I've been a huge Mac fan after switching over in 2006, but I haven't spent a lot of time here.  I'd like to hear what some of the more experienced Mac users think.
    I bought my late-2006 model iMac in 2006.  It came with good ol' Tiger - don't remember what version it was.  But, I did use it until 10.4.11 I think, or maybe 10.4.12?  It wasn't until early 2010 that I went up to 10.6 (when the updates stopped for 10.4).  10.6 was flawless for me until I just recently moved to 10.7.  It's been flawless as well - so far.  So now I'm reading that 10.8 is next summer.  Apple seems to be moving at lighting speeds on these OS versions.  I have seen no real improvements since 10.6.
    As of this summer, OS X 10.8 will say goodbye to my computer, and I love my white iMac.  It has served me well, and it still does serve me well.  I no longer participate in the gaming community, and I suppose if I did I wouldn't be using an all-in-one machine likely anyway.  Six years of computing bliss, at least compared to my Windows days.  (Actually, I hate it when people compare "Macs" to "Windows".  You can't compare computers to OS's - that's a different story altogether, but I'll leave the reference here for the sake of making my point.)  My iMac still looks as new as it did the day that I took it out of the box, with it's still-shrink-wrapped remote sticking to the side of the monitor like a forgotten toy.  But now I'm a little perturbed, and you might expect it's because I won't be receiving any support for my computer after this summer arrives.  That's not exactly it.
    My machine is an Intel machine - not a Motorola.  10.7 has already cut the throats of those who use Rosetta-based software - now with 10.8 they are cutting off their first line of Intel-based machines.  And for what?  Do you mean to tell me that the limited variety of hardware in these machines is too much to support for a new OS?  I could see if these machines were 32-bit, but they are 64-bit!!  My little Core 2 Duo runs just as fast with 10.7 as it did with 10.4, maybe faster. 
    I planned on buying a new iMac soon before all of this anyway, but now with all of these OS releases every year it makes me wonder how long my $1500.00+ investment is going to go next time.  If I buy a new iMac today, will I get six years out of it?  I know that six years is a lot of time for a machine these days anyway; much longer than most will stick with one.  But I'm one of those people that don't fix things that aren't broke.  As long as my computer does what I need it to do, and it's not bogging down all of the time, I'm not buying a new one.  I just can't see disposing of my iMac (or selling for almost nothing) because I can't update it anymore.  I wonder how long they will release updates for 10.7?
    I suppose this is just all new to me because with the way budget PC's work with Windows, you don't get cut from OS support because each piece of hardware is replaceable.  (Driver support)  And, it's a very long time in between Windows versions where CPU is going to cut you out, or Microsoft just quits providing updates.  So, it this basically how the Apple guys and gals work?  I feel sorry for those who bought a G5 iMac.  They were cut off after 10.5 I guess, with no more than three years of OS support.
    As I said, I know that it's time for me to update my iMac anyway, and I don't want it to sound like I'm speaking ONLY because my machine will be left behind.  I just don't see why it's necessary.  And just for fun, I think I'll pull out my 12 year old PC and install Windows 7 on it tomorrow.  (Sorry - couldn't resist.)       

    Well, I was asked when I posted the message whether or not the post was to be marked as a "question" and I answered no.  And as such, it is more of an opinion collection sort of post.  But then, I did decided to include some questions.  I went back and skimmed my message and counted four questions.  The question marks are dead giveaways.
    I understand this message board is commonly used for topics such as, "How do I boot my computer?" or "What's the best way to back up my computer?", and so I chose the message topic carefully.  If this type of dialog doesn't belong here or is not accepted in this community, please feel free to move it, have it moved, or delete it.  I just thought I might get some feedback from those who have been using Macs for some time.  The tone of the first response suggests that I may have struck a nerve somewhere.  Rest assured, it's only an observation from an individual that has been involved with computers for 28 years.  

  • The pressing the Shift key to make a capital letter kicks me out of gmail or reloads the current web page

    I'm suddenly getting some strange behavior on my Windows 7 PC. (I can hear all you Linux users formulating witty retorts...don't do it! :-). When I'm composing an email in Gmail and press the Shift key to get caps, it kicks me out of the composition page. And nothing is saved in drafts either. Internet Explorer doesn't have this issue. The Shift key works normally. Also, If I try to paste using Ctrl+V it make the webpage text shrink. I was trying to log this issue on the computer with the problem but I couldn't login because of the caps and the paste issue.
    I just discovered another quirk: If I press the Ctrl key without the +V it still shrinks the text.

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no option to uninstall a driver. It's a MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboard and it just shows up as an HID compliant device. I tried uninstalling the Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Control Center, but that didn't help either.
    I've also pressed the keys numerous times (at one point it asked me if I wanted to enable 'Sticky Keys' which I didn't). Rebooted too. Even deleted the user profile, removed the PC from the domain, rejoined it to the domain, logged in as the user, and restored a previously backed up Transfer Wizard profile. And I checked while logged on as the local Admin and got the same weirdness.

  • I have set text size to Auto but it starts too small

    I have created a form in Acrobat Pro 9, and set text size to Auto in all fields.
    I know it is limited to the height of the field, but  one of the fields is a block for multi-line paragraghs.  Size is set to Auto, font to Times Roman.  When I open the file in Reader to test it, it looks like it's starting at 12 points.  It goes down from there as the whole block is filled with text, but I'd like it to start at around 18. 
    Advice?

    as I mentioned, this one field is a block for multi-line paragraghs.  It's one, large text block, taking up the bottom half of the form, so that users can input multiple paragraphs of text (they're telling their story).  Some people will write a lot, some less.  That's why I set it to Auto, so that the shorter stories would be in larger text, but longer stories will still shrink to fit.
    It works, but I want to know if their is a way to get the text to start out at a larger font size before auto-sizing-to-fit.  I mean, Something is telling the font to start at 12 point...
    Should I attach the form to this discussion?  (How do I do that?)

  • Printed type much smaller than screen type

    I'm working on a Sawtooth G4 running OS 9.2.2. When I print (SimpleText, Word, Excel) the printed type is much smaller than the designated screen size. For instance, if I print 24-point type, it comes out about 14 or 12. If I print 12, it's about six- or seven-point.
    The only application not affected is QuarkXPress 4.0.
    I'm running ATM Deluxe 4.6.1.
    Ideas?

    That suggets the wrong driver, or wrong configuration in the right driver.
    What printer is this, please?
    Has it ever worked properly and does it have the maker's latest drivers for OS 9?
    Does it make ny difference what font is used?
    Does the same text still shrink in Word and not in XPress if it's typed in one then pasted into the other?

  • PNGs resizing themselves when dragged to stage.

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out why my PNG
    files which are 791px x 567px in my library resize themselves to
    593px x 435px when I drag them to the stage! Dragging GIF or JPG
    files to the stage does not resize them. What am I doing wrong...
    this is driving me nuts?! I'm using Flash CS3. I didn't have this
    issue with Flash 8.

    The PNG files are actually 96dpi, changing them to 72dpi
    makes no difference... they still "shrink" when dragged to the
    stage! This is frustrating as it only happens in CS3, dragging the
    96dpi PNG to Flash 8 does not resize the image... it still looks
    good.

  • CS4 Reduce Image Size w/out increased density

    I worked on a poster graphic in a larger 8-1/2 x 11 size. Now I have to reduce the size for basic logo size item of about 3" or so. Still fairly new to Illustrator and can't figure out how to reduce the size of the graphic without increasing the density. I have already grouped everything together so that I stay consistent with the size reduction. Please help! Thanks...

    As I reduce the size by using the free transform tool, the lines and everything just keep getting fatter and thicker.
    OK. The two suggestions you have recommended definitely help. thanks for that. Now the problems seems to be that it doesn't all want to scale consistantly. I select all, have complied with what you recommended, but parts are still shrinking at a different rate. I am just not understanding why this is happening. It should be so simple!

  • IPhoto is destructive when editing photos

    Hi,
    I recently discovered that when you use the editing tools with iPhoto and export / share them, they are destructively shrinked to 3MP (2048x1536).
    I don't see this documented anywhere. It's a HUGE problem not telling the users that all the pictures are destroyed.
    I just tested with a full size picture from iPhone 4S 8MP.
    1. Take picture on iPhone 4S
    2. Sync between devices via photostream @ full resolution on the PC and "optimized size" on the iPad.
    3. Open and Edit on the iPad
    4. Save and Share
    Boom, now the picture is 3MP instead of 8MP in the photostream.
    I would expect iPhoto to get the full resolution photo and edit it, instead of shrinking it.
    I can understand that the pictures showed on the iPad are optimized for performance reason, but not that the iPhoto App save the optimized one instead of the full resolution one just like Apps like Camera+ and I think all other serious Apps.
    This is totally wrong. I know discovered that I lost original pictures because of this *undocumented & not user friendly* behavior by deleting "duplicate" (original) pictures...
    Not the first time that I can't trust Apple stuff. Last time, iCloud syncing with Keynote on iOS destroyed all my presentations but the opened one. I lost everything...

    But the problem rely in the photo stream. Because when you save the modifier picture in the camera roll, it's still shrinked. Even with photoforge2, you can't get the full resolution version from the photostream.
    The Photo stream is documented here:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    See the paragraph:
    What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
    On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.
    So you can't get full resolution using Photo Stream to send photos to an IOS device, but from an IOS device to a computer the resolution stays the same.
    It is editing in iPhoto that creates smaller versions, but the originals are not destroyed. You can send your originals back - full resolution - by sharing them to iTunes.

  • DW CS3 hangs at 'initializing files' on Mac

    I've been evaluating DW/CS3 for Mac for a number of sites
    that I run. Once during evaluation, I got into a state where DW
    would not start but would instead hang at "initializing files" and
    never actually start up. With a largely random of combination of
    Tech Article and Web Folklore, I managed to get it started and
    continued with the eval.
    Ultimately, I decided that the only thing worse than DW was
    every thing else, so I purchased it.
    Today I went to start up DW again. Same problem - it just
    won't start. Failure to launch is bad. Very bad. My copy is still
    shrink-wrapped, and I have a little bit left on my 30 day eval so I
    could return it if this is just a black hole. Is this something I
    can look forward to every couple of days in DW (and if so, is there
    a recipe for actually using the program) or should I look toward
    getting out from under this program before I break the shrinkrwap
    and getting a refund?
    Is there some way to get to advanced features like (gasp) the
    program starting? Is there some known trigger for this that can be
    avoided?
    Thanx,
    RJL

    - delete the site cache in question "C:\Documents and

    - rename the configuration directory and restart DW
    C:\Documents and Settings\_your_user_name\Application

    -both those will force DW to rebuild the site cache or it's

    2. DWCS3[9] "does something weird with internet"
    - I dunno if this is the actual problem, but it seems that DW
    "calls home" a fair bit, I noticed that my MSN was not loading
    either [after a particularly large number of files were added to
    bitorrent]
    solution - shutdown bitorrent, or anything else that may be
    maxing out your available tcpip connections.
    -hope it helps

    Thanks a lot no.1 did it for me.
    It took some time but the dreamweaver never hanged(I had

  • Mass Rollout - Best practices

    We are going to do a rollout of around 800 ipads. Anybody know the best way to get them all configured?  How to make 800 Apple IDs at once, etc? How to get all of the aircards activated?  We have been asking Apple directly, but their answers are VERY vague.  Thanks.

    Hey gyrhead - you seem super knowledgeable and you don't have to answer this, but here is our scenario:
    Let’s say you receive these in from the factory, still shrink wrapped, starting with unboxing, how would you go about doing this?
    Goal: Deploy 800 iPads
    10 techs
    4 days to clone + configure these iPads
    No data to migrate
    10 or less free apps
    3 or less apps from the VPP store
    Setup a few URLs on the home screen
    Setup corporate email
    iPad Naming convention
    Sales force has turnover
    Keep ability for us to easily manage account if user leavesWe were thinking generic iTunes accounts ([email protected], SALES002, etc.)
    How would they clone them (or would they)?
    PowerSync carts?
    Apple Configuration Utility?
    Apple iPhone Config utility?
    Register device with MDM (probably Mobile Iron or Airwatch)
    Again, you don't have to take the time, but thanks for any time you can spare!!
