Mapping an illustration to a 3d object

I have a vector based illustration of 32 panels laid out, that make up the panels found on a football. I also have a 3d object of a 32 panel football. Is there a way of mapping the illustration onto the 3d object using Photoshop CC?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Stuart

A little work in a 3D program is easy:
Make each of the 32 faces of the football have a defined area domain.
Make 32 graphic images (.jpg probably OK); one for each of the faces from your vector image.
Apply the images to each individual domain as a texture map image.
Render the 3D.
Note, unless you want multiple output image views or a video of the ball rotating, you can save effort by not domain naming the unseen backfaces and you don't need the image texture maps for them either.

Making a map in Illustrator CS4

I have been reading some tutorials how to make street maps in Illustrator, and found that CS4 have a new cool tool called "Blob brush". That's very good when making a map.
My problem is more that when using the pen tool as before it is much more easy to correct and adjust the lines after making a freehand trace from another map as the anchor is in the middle.
I would need some tips how to use the "Direct selection" tool or some other way to easy adjust the traced lines? Maybe there is no way, but I have to ask

All the Blob Brush does is use a standard Calligraphy brush, then expand the brush when you lift the mouse/cursor. Thus creating a shape rather than a path with a brush applied to it.
I'd suggest you try just using a Calligraphy brush with the Brush tool. This will give you a path with a brush applied. Altering the path will be much easier than altering the shape of the Blob Brush. You can then use Object > Expand to convert the brush paths to shapes and the results are the same as the Blob Brush.

How to export a typographic map in illustrator for print

I have created a typographic world map in illustrator. So nearly every major city, country, and body of water have been typed out using the type tool. Now, what is the best way to export and print this? I usually export out of illustrator with a set dimension (say 16 x 20in) @ 500 ppi jpeg for great quality. I did this with this map to test it out before selling. It came back from the printing company looking quite pixelated. Photos are perfect for that workflow, but I didn't think about needing to read those little villages in greenland. So although you can tell what it is (a map with cities & such), 90% of the map is unreadable. Are there any suggestions for exporting this thing differently so that everything would be ledgible just like maps are in textbooks? I tried making it 40in wide and set the ppi to 1500 (haha) with tiff output which would make it a monster but illustrator crashes and I'm not sure a printer can even print that. I need help. Thanks

the best way would be to not rasterize it at all. give the printer a pdf.

Pixelated Problem with 3D Mapping in Illustrator.

So here's the situation as best as I can recount it. I created a 3-d revolved bottle and lid in Illustrator, back in probably CS2. Since then, I have been unable to get the bottle, or it's mapped image to appear anything but pixelated and nasty. Which makes it pretty useless, really. Recent 3-d revolves with mapping seem crisp. Is this original file just unusable and broken in some way? I have tried re-mapping the imagery and re-creating the symbol used for mapping and have not produced any different a result. My only other thought is to get a real bottle, print the label for real somewhere and take a photograph if I can't get this to work. ;) So, is this a new problem, or a problem from an earlier file? Has anyone else had this issue? I'm using CS3 now on a Mac G5. The file opens in CS3 fine, although I did have to re-map the image map symbol for some reason.. it seemed to think it was on the back or inside of the bottle when I opened the original file.
I know this is pretty vague, but I really don't have much experience with 3D mapping in illustrator.

Ok, I believe that fixed the mapped art's resolution issues. But one other question, the 3-d bottle that the artwork is mapped to, has a rough edge to it that is still pixelated. I can take it into photoshop and clip out that 'edge' if need be, but I'm still wondering if there is a setting I'm missing here. Thanks again for all your help!

Heap error when trying to map a CLOB element to an object using toplink

I ran a SQl query which retrieves a clob element of 40MB size. The application retrieves the CLOB and probably stores in the temporary buffer. And when the CLOB is retrieved from the buffer to map it to the actual business object, we are getting a heap dump error. The error is as follows:

Moving object by small incraments in Illustration, program keeps spapping object

I need to figure out how to get illustrator to stop snapping objects to a certian ingrament when i try and move them for precision alignment. it never used to do this before and from what i can see all my snapping options in the view panel and in preferences are off. This is frustrating to say the least and the problem wasnt there yesterday !

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like what version of AI and so on. As a start, double-check al lsettings from pixel grid to the normal snapping functions.

Mapping in interconnect between different Business Objects

I want to know how to do transformation and mapping between different business objects in interconnects.
Always,We have a very complex SQL,when We do intergration
with Oracle interconnect ,We use DB Adapter or Jdbc Adapter,but the complex SQL have to be excuted in the resource DB or the destination DB which may be a big pressure to them ,I think can We use different Business Objects, and do the Mappings in interconnect,so the big pressure will be on the interconnect server just like the ETL tools, But I just find that Interconnect can do tranformation and mapping in one Business Object ,how can I do? Is anyone meet this problem like me ?thanks for discussion.

For me, Business Objects are logical groupings of business processes. For example, we have a Business Object called "Maintain_Employees". Under this we have 1 Procedure (Create_Employee) and 2 Events (Update_Employee and Delete_Employee).
We have 1 Oracle system interfacing with 23 other legacy systems. Some of these legacy systems will be using this "Maintain_Employees" Business Object (Common View), and our main transformations will be between the Common View and the legacy Application Views.
We are using a number of techniques to assist in "validating" data in the InterConnect. The main ones are using 'Cross Reference Tables (XREF)' and 'DatabaseOperation' transformations. By using 'Content Based Routing' we are able to send the right message to the right legacy system, and therefore do the right transformation/validation on the message payload. However, this is only a small part of a complex puzzle.
I also have the "problem" of having "very complex SQL" on our Oracle system too. This is not unusual when using the InterConnect.
To my mind, the InterConnect does 2 main operations. Firstly, it performs some message transformation (mapping), and secondly, it acts as a transportation engine (routing) using the adapters.
The remainder of the effort required to create or consume the message resides with the Applications themselves. Whether it is parsing an XML CLOB payload, inserting data into staging tables, writing to log files, pre-processing data, calling API's or something else, your Application side programming and processing overhead can get large.
The trade off it to ask the question, do I want to be able to track and manage messages from start to finish in high detail? Or can I trust that all message payload data will be consumed with no additional processing on the Application side?
My experience has shown that the bottleneck is always at the Application side, and almost never in the InterConnect.
The short answer to your first question is "You are right. Mappings can take place only between Application Views and Common Views only - not between Business Objects.".
To answer your second question "Probably everyone reading this forum has this problem. The intelligence that is able to really interpret message data, validate it and process it is only found in the Application, not the InterConnect. You could, however, use the Workflow engine within OAI in order to provide additional pre-validation, human interaction and logic, but this too could be complex."
At my current client, we are architecting an Application OAI Message handling schema. This will contain staging tables, pre-processing tables, "OAI" wrapper PL/SQL scripts, "APPS" wrapper PL/SQL scripts and Message Logging and Exception tables. Ours will be a complex set of PL/SQL processes too.
I hope this helps, just in letting you know that you are not alone with this problem.
I wonder if anyone else would like to share how they have architected their InterConnect and Application side mapping and transformation solutions.

Placing an illustrator file with "white" objects add process black to PDF

Ran into this problem today with InDesign CS5:
I am trying to create a document with only one (spot) color, pantone 293 in this case.
Placed some illustrator files in this document, all of them also only contain pantone 293. However, they also contain some "white" objects. Now my problem appears to be that "white" in illustrator is defined as "0% gray" by default. So when I export my document as PDF from inDesign, i get a PDF with both spot color pantone 293 and black. Strange thing is, I tried making the "white" objects 0% pantone 293 instead of 0% gray, but the PDF still exports with black process color.
Just plain telling my printing company to ignore the black process color altogether would be foolish i guess, since there are objects underneath the illustrator files which need to be knocked out by the "white".
Any ideas?

If the problem isn't a profile conflict as Peter suggests, you might try setting up a preflight profile for 1 spot color that will catch uses of CMYK black. When you export a PDF from ID the CMYK channels always exist in the exported PDF, so you may need a preflight check to make sure CMYK plates are empty.
This allows only 1 spot color, defined as Lab. Any use of black would throw an error:
Here the white box is defined as Paper 0|0|0|0 CMYK and I get an error
Defining the box as 0% Orange is OK

Misbehavior when LOV is mapped from Shared AM's view object.

Hi,
I found a misbehavior when i try to map a LOV from a Shared AM, whereas it is working fine when i map the LOV from a normal AM.
Let me tell you the details about the sample i created to simulate it.
JDeveloper version - 11.1.1.4.0
Sample Application - Based on HR Schema
Functionality requirement:
Screen has a Select one choice, which should list out all the employees from EMP_DETAILS_VIEW, a view of HR schema, without only one employee.
Sample App Details:
1. Created a Shared Application Module, say "SharedSupplierAM" (i.e. Said the scope of the AM as Application Level)
2. Created a view object “EMP_DETAILS_VIEW” with a bind variable "bind_Emp_Id" and a view criteria "NotSaidEmployeeVC". View criteria's where clause is framed as ( (EMPLOYEE_ID Does not equal :bind_Emp_Id ) ) 3. Shuttled an instance of "EMP_DETAILS_VIEW" into SharedSupplierAM.
4. Created another application module, say "ConsumerAM" (It is not a shared AM).
5. Created a BaseViewObject, say "BaseVO", with an attribute "Employee", to which EMP_DETAILS_VIEW from SharedSupplierAM is mapped as LOV.
6. In the View accessor, shuttled the view criteria NotSaidEmployeeVC and hard coded the value "100" for the bind variable bind_Emp_Id.
7. Shuttled an instance of BaseVo into Consumer AM.
Expected functionality:
LOV should not display the Employee whose id is 100.
Issue:
When i run the AM tester, create a row, it displays all the employees irrespective of the view criteria's where clause i framed, whereas when i map the LOV from normal AM (i.e. not a Shared AM), it displays the employees based on the view criteria's where clause !!.
NOTE:
1. Instead of hard coding the value 100 in the view accessor, If you keep another attribute in the BaseVO, say emp_id, and refer it for the bind variable bind_Emp_id, for the first creation of row alone, it is misbehaving. Once a selection from LOV is made, for further creation of rows, it is displaying the proper list.
2. When i repeat all the above said process but map the LOV from normal AM (i.e. not a Shared AM), everything works fine.
Question:
1. Why this inconsistency?
2. Is it a bug or do i've to change my approach of mapping a LOV when it comes from Shared AM?
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks to Jobinesh.
I got answer from Jobinesh, which i specified below so that it will be useful for others.
In case of shared AM as the same VO is being shared by multiple users and the query cannot be dirtied at runtime, so applying VC at run time doesn't have any effect/supported. All the VCs need to be applied on the AM where the ViewObject usage is defined, and pass the bind parameter value while defining ViewAccessor as you did in the sample.
Also note that if one attribute(e.g: LoggedInEmpId) drives value for LOV defined on another one, then the first needs to be added in to Dependencies list for the second one using your VO editor and keep autosubmit=true for the driving one, set partialTrigger to refresh LOV

Map HttpRequest parameters to anytype of object

Hi,
I am working on an old project and at the moment the only method they have to map the parameters of an HttpRequest to that of a custom object is by actually getting the value from the request and put it in the custom object one parameter at a time. This is very time consuming and the code looks horrible.
I remember when I used to work with Struts that there where Forms and that the Action class used to receive a form with all the values set depending on how defined in the HttpRequest.
I thought I could re-implement this by actually using some reflection. In other words I would check each parameter in the request one by one (in some sort of loop) and for each parameter I check if in the object to fill there is some method set<ParameterName>. If so I would set the parameter. The only problem is typecasting which I believe is complicated.
Therefore I thought; Is there already some code ready to actually map from an HttpRequest to any other object? Or at least map a Map to an Object (since the parameters of the HttpRequest are stored in a Map!?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Regards,
Sim085

Apache Struts uses under the hood under each Apache Commons BeanUtils for this kind of stuff.
I assume that you actually mean Javabeans when you say "custom objects".

Illustrator crashes when moving objects in live paint group

A little help here...
Illustrator CC keeps crashing whenever I try to move a path or an object in a live paint group. I've tried it on other computers, but they seem to work fine. It seemed to only affect my laptop, so I'm not sure what happened. Restarting and updating it doesn't seem to solve the problem.
Here are the technical specifications for my Macbook Pro:
Mid-2009 Macbook Pro 15"
2.8 GHz model w/ SD card slot
Intel Core 2 Duo
Has Mavericks
4 GB of RAM
Please help!!! My project is due the next week!
Thanks,
Michelle

I think I know the solution to the problem (for me anyway)!
I have been plagued by this CC problem for months with Illustrator, In Design and Photoshop. I even bought a new machine because of the stress it caused me, and not to mention the lost work hours!!!! But since buying the new machine and having it happen again, and again and again, I have ruled out all font, software, plugin conflicts - because there is nothing on my machine that was on the old one. All of my old files are on an external hard drive and I have had Illustrator CC crash several times with the hard drive ejected. This is what leads me to think (in my case at least) that the machine/files/plugins are not the problem. Here's what has worked for me, and where I think my problem stems from:
CC membership allows you to run the Adobe applications on 2 machines, in most people's cases that's home and office. I have two machines; one for work with one set of preferences that my CC account was made with, and another machine at home that is shared and has an entirely different set of preferences.
When an Illustrator file is left open on my work machine (the machine that the CC account was created on) with a long period of inactivity (e.g. over a weekend) Illustrator CC on my home machine crashes constantly (as soon as I try to move an object it crashes). As soon as Illustrator CC is closed down on my work machine, Illustrator CC on my home machine is then fine! And then both machines will the run Illustrator CC again simultaneously until the work machine is left for another long period of inactivity (a couple of days). Then, when it is, my home machine crashes again.
I also noticed that each time Illustrator CC asked me to send a crash report from my home machine to Adobe it would pull the email from the preferences on my home machine, not the email that the CC account was made with (which is the email on my work machine). It could be that leaving Illustrator CC/any of the CC apps open and inactive for a couple of days causes some kind of 'time out' period on the account.
This could explain why Illustrator CC would work again on my home machine (briefly) when trashing the account preferences.
So to re-cap I have solved my seemingly inexplicable problem by making sure that Illustrator CC is not left open for long periods of inactivity (2 days seems to be the threshold) on one machine, if the account is being shared across two machines.
Please let me know if this A. makes sense and B. helps anyone.

'MAPI Session Handle' of the NGW 'Object Request Broker' could not be accessed (0x80004005) on attempt to get an address book

Hi!
When I try to access GW address book by calling
DIGWAccount6::GetSystemAddressBook, or DIGWAccount6::AddressBooks, or even
DIGWMessage::Send, I'm getting messagebox with title "Address Book Error"
and message: "The 'MAPI Session Handle' of the Novell GroupWise 'Object
Request Broker' could not be accesses. The address book cannot run (error:
status: 0x80004005)."
I'm using .NET and I only get this error when I create a console
application. With windows application everything goes fine.
I've tried reinstalling GW client, running fixmapi utility, installing
different versions of MAPI CDO, but still got this problem.
Any ideas?

In the Application object.

How do I Copy a section of a map into illustrator?

I am designing a brochure and I am trying to import a specific portion of a map into ai.
I tried to do this by grabbing a section of the google maps screen but the text ends up too big or too small.
I have an example of what i want that i can't upload on to here as it's larger than 4mb
In this pic you have all surrounding areas perfectly displayed with big text.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The error is caused as the otn_airports table is not created.
This is the command to create the table:
CREATE TABLE otn_airports(airport_code VARCHAR2(3),
description VARCHAR2(80), name VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL)
The same query is present in createTable() method of PopulateTable class.
Check if the query is proper.
If you face the same problem again then create the table
using the above command manually and insert the data using the following commands:
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABE","Regional Airport","Allentown");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABI","Municipal","Abilene");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABQ","International Airport","Albuquerque");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABR","Regional Airport","Aberdeen");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABX","Albury","Albury");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABY","County Airport","Albany");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ABZ","Dyce","Aberdeen");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACA","International Airport","Acapulco");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACE","Lanzarote","Lanzarote");
INSERT INTO otn_airports(airport_code, description, name) VALUES("ACI","The Blaye","Alderney");
Now run the sample.
