In search of tut or texture

I am tryin to find either a tutorial or texture (prefferably tutorial) of Lava.
More specifically i am trying to find one that primarily black (or some dark color) with glowing cracks in it.
I have found a number of tuts on lava but none quite what i am looking for.
I'm not asking for anyone to go out searching (i will continue to do that for myself), just wondering if someone
was already aware of one that fills my need.

Thanks

I'm afriad that nobody can gives you a definate answer on your question as this concern many factors to say as in production lines, marketing and distribution.

Textured Text with after effects

Hi all,
I just want to know if there's a way that I can generate a textured text in after effects.
Thank.

Hi,
Thanks for the site as I'll check it out.

The question isn't really clear to me, so I'll take a guess and suggest that you look into using a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf6a.htm l as a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf9a.htm l, with the underlying (fill) layer being a texture image.
I'll also remind you that doing a simple search using the http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=texture+text&l=aftereffects_product_adobelr is a good way to get answers to questions like this.

Unreal Tournament 99 - Wont start- OpenGL/32bit issue?

I have an AMD card with the latest beta driver.
When I try to start unreal tournament (using ut-bin -log for more detailed output) I get:

The issue is at the OpenGL level. The screen brightness changes for a split second as if it's about to launch the game.
glxgears runs fine and KDE is running using OpenGL.
I have the same copy of Unreal Tournament running on the same machine inside a Linux Mint installation with the same 14.1 catalyst driver and it works fine.
My assumption is that I'm missing a 32 bit library but I have no idea what it may be. Not sure if this helps anyone but if I run
ldd ut-bin
I get

Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

I've done that and it's made no difference:

It looks like it's a 32 bit opengl problem as "glxinfo32 | grep OpenGL" provides no outptut, running just "glxinfo32" reports:

What do I need to do to completely reinstall the 32 bit opengl library? I thought it came with the catalyst driver.

Building a house... need help on design!

Hi! I'm kind of new to Java3D, and I'm sure someone asked this in this forum alread,y but...what the heck.
I have a project in school where we need to make a model of a house, and allow the user to navigate through it. I know that I'll be using KeyNavigator here; I got that part already. But I AM having trouble with the whole designing part altogether. The house I'm making is rather detailed (as in I have to include the chairs, tables, bookshelves, posters, etc.). Some of the items need to be clickable, as well.
I already made walls, and I can navigate through the room, but now that I'm putting textures in (and textures in almost each wall need to be different), I'm having trouble! And don't know how to make irregularly-shaped things... Can anyone help me? Like, can someone show me code of even a small room, with (preferably clickable) objects lying around and each wall having posters and stuff on them? Or even programs that can help me? I'm using JCreator now, which, of course, everyone knows, is originally for plain ol' Java.
Oh, and I have no idea how to keep the user from going through walls...
I need to finish this by mid-February, and I'm about ready to tear my hair out. I've got tutorials here...but I'm stuck. Maybe I just didn't explore the API enough, but...ARGH. I'm still stuck.
If you can help me (or even point me to a tutorial that can quickly help me) I will love you forever. Thanks!

How can I have users change textures in acrobat 3d and Reader question tia sal2

I'm trying to have users in Acrobat reader change textures of a box which I made in acrobat 3d
how can I do this?
Example
I made three textures for a box and I would like the user to have the ability to change the textures if they choose. How can I do this? Any examples?
Can I have a user select the textures or the layers from a photoshop file in Acrobat 3d?
Tia sal2

Yo ratboy,
You can do this. In order to map the images, they must be attached as a 3D resource. (There is a free plugin for this; search the forum for "Attach3DResource.api"). Once the images are attached, you can use the 3D Javascript API to map them to the meshes you desire.
For one doc, I attached 25 images in this manner. I then used the script below to create a bunch of empty meshes, and then apply the images to said meshes.
Hope this helps!
//3D javascript ========================================
//create 25 procedural meshes ======
var leftEdge = -180;
var horizontalOffset = leftEdge;

var myMesh = new Array();
var myVector = new Array();

horizontalOffset = leftEdge;
verticalOffset += 58;

Changing multiple texture paths in Adobe Flash CS5

Hey everyone,
I'm desperately searching for a way to swap out multiple texture paths of images in my library.
For instance, say I put a set of 5 textures in Adobe/Bitmaps. Later I decide to move the 5 textures to Adobe/Textures and delete the old directory. What I typically have to do is go into each texture file's properties and re-import the image with the new path in place.
This is fine if I were only dealing with a handful of textures, but as it is, I have nearly 75 or so textures to re-path! If anyone knows of an out-of-the-box way around this or knows of any Flash extensions that could get around this issue and wouldn't mind sharing it here, I'd greatly appreciate it! I've searched around on google and have, so far, come up completely empty.
Thanks in advance.

Well I did use actionscript for creating the actual index and effects, but AS3 was used no further for the index. I created an index which had links Part 1, Part 2 ,3,4,5 and clicking on each of them lead to different frames (using the mouseclick, goto and stop at frame (x) function.) Clicking on part one for example would lead to list of documents in that part. Sorry I can't be of any help, I'm totally new to this

Why does Photoshop CC and CS6 render 3D objects differently than CS5? Getting weird textures and shadows

I've been searching the web unsuccessfully to see if anyone else has experienced this issue:
Our company had quite a few custom 3D models made of our packages (OBJ and DAE format), which we were able to wrap and render in PS CS5 with great success. Once we updated to CS6 and then CC, we experienced:
– bizarre shadows when opening CS5 files and rerendering
– strange textures when importing the models from scratch in CS6 or CC
I've attached an image showing some of the oddities.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5 16GB memory.
Cache Tile size 1024K; 4 cache levels, "Basic" Graphics Processor setting (I've tried Advanced and None with no difference)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M OpenGl Engine
The frustrating thing is it doesn't happen on all models; some OBJ files work fine.
We may have to stick to using CS5 for our 3D models, but that's very limiting when working with freelancers.
Any insight is MUCH appreciated!

I've attached an image showing some of the oddities.
Please post those images with the camera icon tool.

ISA 50 - B2C Open orders search, extending generic-searchbackend-config.xml

Hello Experts,
I have several B2C sites and webshops, and B2C self-created accounts are common to all sites. The problem is that all open orders and completed orders (from all sites) appear in the open orders / completed orders in My Account. I'd like to separate the display of orders for each site.
Each of my site corresponds to a sales organisation in CRM / R3. In the GenericSearchDynamicContent class, which is used in the standard generic-searchbackend-config.xml to generate dynamic values in filters, I found a method addSalesOrg(). I tried to add this in the customer/generic-searchbackend-config.xml :
<configs isa:extends="../configs[@id='crmdefault']">
<config id="javabasket_javatemplate_forCRM">
    <property-group name="SearchCriteria_B2C_Sales">
      <property name="SALES_ORG"
      entityType="CL_CRM_REPORT_SET_ORGMAN"
      tokenType="RAN"
      type="dark">
        <allowedValue content="dynamic"
        contentCreateClass="com.sap.isa.isacore.GenericSearchDynamicContent"
        contentCreateMethod="addSalesOrg" />
      </property>
    </property-group>
</config>
</configs>
But it doesn't work, all orders are displayed. If I don't set the entityType and RAN, ABAP returns an error and doesn't take in account the property SALES_ORG, but I don't know if these are the good values (I found these values by debbuging abap ...)
I haven't found any documentation on the parameters I could add and the corresponding types etc., the Dev and Ext guide (and tuts) shows an example on how to add a search parameter in the selection screen and add a column in the result screen, but no detailed list of fields we could add...
Please let me know if you have a solution to add sales organisation to the search parameters, and links to documentation.
Thank you by advance
Julien

Hello and thank you for your answer
I finally found the solution by myself :
in crmtcweb~appbase/WEB-INF/xcm/customer/modification/generic-searchbackend-config.xml :
       <configs isa:extends="../configs[@id='crmdefault']">
                 <config id="javabasket_javatemplate_forCRM">
                    <property-group name="SearchCriteria_B2C_Sales">
                         <property name="SALES_ORG"
                        entityType="CL_CRM_REPORT_SET_ORGMAN"
                        tokenType="RAN"
                       type="dark">
                    <allowedValue content="dynamic"
                                  contentCreateClass="com.sap.isa.isacore.Z_GenericSearchDynamicContent"
                                  contentCreateMethod="addSalesOrg" />
                </property>
                    </property-group>
               </config>
          </configs>
in Z_GenericSearchDynamicContent :
     public void addSalesOrg() {
          selOpt.addSelectOptionLine(
            new GenericSearchSelectOptionLine(
                 handle,
                 pty.getName(),
                 pty.getEntityType(),
                 pty.getTokenType(),
                 "I",
                 "EQ",
                 bom.getShop().getSalesOrganisation(),
And it works Now only the orders with the same salesOrg as the webshop are displayed.
Hope this could help somewone else.

How to change texture backgrounds in Keynote text box

I want to know if its possible to change the texture background image of a text box, keeping the background textured but in a different color.
Sequence:
Create a text box
Add text
In the inspector select "image fill"
The result is a textured background in a particular color.
Thinking I might be able to replace the image with another textured image but of a different color I click on "Choose" and a dialog opens that is located at the "pictures" folder in the home folder.
This makes sense but I wonder if there is a group of textured images somewhere to use as backgrounds?
And if so where are they located?
I've searched around and can't find same.
Perhaps the textured background is unique to the theme.
Thanks

Most of the textures are unique to the theme BUT try this:
1. Put a chart on your slide
2. Click on the Chart Colors button in the Chart Inspector
3. See if any of the chart options match what you're looking for and hit Apply All in the chart colors window
4. Click once on one of the bars in the chart to select it
5. Choose Copy Style from the format menu
6. Click on your text box and choose Paste Style from the format menu
7. Go to the Graphic Inspector and change the fill type from Image Fill to Tinted Image fill
8. Play around with the color/transparency settings for the Tinted image function by clicking on the box that looks like it's sliced in half diagonally.
no idea if that's what you're looking for, but you can come up with some fun fills I think.

In need of an expert: OpenGL and drawing simple textures

Hello,
Is anyone knowledgeable about loading sprites with an alpha channel?
This is the code I am using to load my sprites. The image files were png files with an alpha channel(parts where you can see through the image). But when loading it the parts that are supposed to be invisible turn out to be black.
I have searched far and wide across the internet and what a surprise I only see solutions for mobile phones other than the iphone! It would be great help to the iphone community if someone can be kind enough to point out what it is thats supposed to be done to get this to work.
{CODE}
myTexture = Texture2D alloc initWithData:data bytes pixelFormat:kTexture2DPixelFormatRGBAPVRTC4 pixelsWide:512 pixelsHigh:512 contentSize:CGSizeMake(512,512);
{CODE}
then running the following in drawView:
{CODE}
myTexture drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(0,0);
{CODE}
the result is the texture showing correctly except the invisible parts turn out black. Perhaps I have to set something in the drawView? Please If anyone out there can help.

You may need to enable alpha blending systemwide, e.g. glEnable (GL_BLEND), as well as glBlendFunc(), glAlphaFunc(), etc.

Image gallery w/search

I am working with Dreamweaver 8 and Flash 8 and was wondering
how to make a image gallery. What I need is an image gallery with
upto 100 images in each category. I would like users to be able to
search (say texture) and come up with the results. If PHP is needed
where can I find a free PHP script? What is the best way this can
be done?
Thank You in Advance

How do I create this texture?

I need to create this texture for the background of something I am working on. I am making a business logo for a woman, and she very specifically asked for this texture. I would have copied it directly from the picture she provided me, but it's very low quality and gets pixilated if I make it even a little bit bigger. I need to replicate the texture from the background of this image:
Any ideas? I've tried using different tons of brushes and filters, but I just can't get it quite right and I'm getting pretty frustrated.
Thanks!!!

The trick is to start with the right image. it looks like tree bark to me, so search Google for 'bark', go to Images, and click on Large. Find a bark pattern that suits, and copy into photoshop. Go Image > Adjust > Threshold, and drag the slider over to the left to get a mostly white image. Job more or less done, but dtretch with Free transform if the patern is too dense. Place it over a plain coloured background, and set Blend mode to Darken.

Bug in OS X OpenGL texture handling, that can crash OS X ?

When i try to create large textures in OpenGL, i get a texture with noise in it. A closer look shows, that this noise are pieces of other application windows and/or the desktop. This texture also changes when i change other windows.
I wrote a small GLUT app that shows this problem: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~juhees/opengl/main.cpp
It should look like this (just yellow: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~juhees/opengl/2048.png ) but it looks more like this: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~juhees/opengl/4096-1.png or this: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~juhees/opengl/4096-2.png
As you can see, the lowe part of the noise is changeing. I get no OpenGL error in this app! So i can't check in my prog if the texture is too large for Mac OS X.
More importantly: I need offscreen render passes and if you try to render to that texture, OS X will instantly crash or give you strange graphic noise in fullscreen (and then crash). With offscreen passes that can happen even with 2048*2048 textures. A crash is more likely when using a depth buffer in the offscreen pass.
I tested this on an (Intel) iMac and on an (Intel) Mac Pro.
greetings
Robert

I don't know if this will help your particular situation or not, but here's my tale of misery condensed down to a few (?) pithy phrases. My Mac Pro 3 GHz. Xeon Quad was behaving so badly that I was almost ready to consign the whole set-up to the trash heap. I was having 40-50 hard crashes a day & couldn't get anything done. On the rare occasion when I successfully burned a DVD on the sixth or seventh attempt, it was effed-up. I couldn't even launch iDVD. I did a few Google searches and found all kinds of allegations of incompatibility between Open GL and 10.5.3, of ATI Radeon X1900XT (which I have) and NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT video cards being no good, etc. Finally I ran across a reference to smcFanControl and Temperature Monitor, both of which are free. What did I have to lose? My system was useless in its current state. I had already done a clean install, and run every "fix" known to man with NO positive results. The system crashed on startup after a clean install, and still wouldn't stay up and running for more than 10 minutes.
I installed these two apps, cranked up the fan speeds, and watched my heat sink temperatures plummet 60 degrees F. All of the artifacts and pixel lines on my 23 and 30-inch ACD's disappeared and are apparently gone for good. The system hasn't had a hiccup or a glitch in performance in the past 3 days doing video and photo rendering at full-speed. I used Spaces to set up all of the windows and graphs for Temperature Monitor on the Cinema Displays in Space 1, and run my other apps in other Spaces. If you like techie stuff, it's great fun and very impressive to look at... and it WORKS!!! At the very least, it'll keep you from going nuts and smashing all your Mac gear with a sledge hammer.
Bottom line: the video card was overheating, and the system was shutting itself down or going to sleep to prevent over-temperature damage. I learned yesterday that this feature is built-in so that you can't damage your 'puter by cooking it to death.
Leopard isn't smart enough to crank up the fan speeds to prevent trouble. *Temperature Monitor and smcFanControl cured ALL of my Mac's woes*. I'm very happy. ;=]
Everything is working like a dream... but I haven't worked up the nerve to re-up to 10.5.3 again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :-p

Pixel and Texture Fillrate problem

hi,
i bought yesterday a 5850 twin froze vga that is not having the normal configuration;
instead of
Pixel Fill Rate    23200 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate    52200 MTexels/sec
it has
Pixel Fill Rate    12800 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate    28800 MTexels/sec;

i have made a 3dmark 2006 benchmark to compare with the old geforce leadtek 9600gt extreme s-fanpipe and i was dissapointed; it is with 3838 points greater:
-12838(2010.11.29)[SM2.0 Score 5274|HDR/SM3.0 4970|CPU Score 5211] nvidia 260.99 quad

Your GPU clock is only running at 400MHz according to that, which is wrong as it should be 725MHz. Can you check in MSI Afterburner to see if it's simply giving false information?
If you've upgraded from another GPU, uninstall your current graphics card drivers, run >>Driver Sweeper<< and then install the drivers provided by MSI.
It could be a problem with your PSU being underpowered. I'm not convinced by dual +12v rail PSUs (particularly as it looks like yours only has 15A on each of the two rails: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article212-page1.html). Try and borrow a decent single +12v rail PSU like the Corsair VX 550W.
thank you for your answer, the problem was solve with Driver-Sweeper, the nvdia driver was not totally uninstalled from windows,

i will take your advice and search to buy a new power supply,
thanks again, have a nice day!

Font texture plug-in or program? (Seeking Advice)

Can anyone tell me some of the leading "Font texture" programs? I'm talking about the plug-ins or programs that would take your text and apply cool textures to it. And not just a silly one, but a leading industry one.
We used one in college, but for the life of me, I can't recall what it is. Also, I'm searching on the web--and having no luck.

Wow, jongware. I didn't know you represented the industry. I guess your job, since you do represent the industry, is...oh forget it.
Allow me to rephrase this into the "real-world" delima. I need to create type, it needs a distressed look. I dont care to use an actual font because the charater's textures will look repetitive after a line of text.
So I need a program or useful plugin that will give me "vectorized" textures.
Can anyone give useful aid here? Anyone but jongware.

In search of tut or texture
