Mapping Graphics onto 3D objects

Hi,
am trying to figure out if it is possible to map an image onto a fairly complex 3d shape then unfold this graphic, in the same way we unfold the material to fabricate the structure we are making. I work for a company that specialises in architectural structures made using fabric.
the simplest example of this would be a globe, which i know can be done using the 3D filters in illustrator. unfortunately the shape we are looking at is anything but a ball, cylinder, cube or simple revolved shape.
anyone have any ideas?

No. Illustrator is not the correct program for that. It's 3D Effect is for doing simple extrusions and revolves to create things like extruded text and simple spot graphics. It is not capable of complex 3D modeling, surface joining, etc., and is not able to unfold and flatten its surfaces. Nor do you have much control over where individual surfaces break.

Parameter Mapping with RFC Callable Object not working

Hi Folks
Scenario
I have a process scenario like this
Interactive Form Callable Object A -triggers> Process [Interactive Form Callble Object B -> Interactive Form Callble Object C -> RFC Callable Object ]
All the forms A, B, C use same form template, different sections of it lets say i, j and k are filled by different guys.
Now my parameter mappings are as follows -
a) Page level meeting between B & C called P Map.
b) Process parameter mapping with Form A and appropriate section of P Map lets say section i
c) fields of Form C are mapped to RFC callable object fields
Problem
The data filled in Form A [section i] disappears when I open and see the Form B.
If I remove the mappings of fields of Form C with RFC callable objec fields, I am able to see it.
Has anyone faced it before!

Hi,
This is a known issue on SP10 and it will be fixed in the next patch for SP10.
Hope this helps!

Geo Maps - Graphics rendering problem

Hi Experts,
I got this error while running an Application with Geo Map.- " Graphics rendering problem"
In my application there are two UI elements ,
Geo Map and Business Graphics, i can see business graphics properly but problem is only with GeoMap.
I checked the SAP Note : 704604.
And the entry in my Visual Admin is : http://localhost :40180
When i go to the URL http://<server>:4<instance>80 , i get the message displayed as "SAP IGS is running"
I am unable to figure out the problem can you guys help?
regards,
Ashish Shah

Hello Ashish,
There must be some problem with IGS server. So check whether your IGS server is configure properly or not.
Follow these steps:
1. Check the path first
Local Drive : \ usr \ SAP \ J2E \ JC01 \ J2EE \ admin
2. Connect to SAP J2EE Engine
3.Open the Visual Administrator Window, In Global Configuration page ,go to
CONFIGURATION ADAPTER -> WEBDYNPRO -> sap.com - > tcwddispwda -> propertysheet.default
4. Switch to edit mode
5.Change property entry , http://<server name: port number>
6.Exit the visual Administrator window
7.Restart J2EE Engine.
Best Regards,
Sheetal.

Mapping artwork onto 3D shapes

How do you map artwork onto an extruded shape?

drag the artwork to the symbols palette first. then you can choose it and the surface you want to map it to in the Map art options for the 3D effect.

Illustrator CS4 hangs when trying to map art on 3D object

Hi, does anyone have a solution for this problem:
Illustrator CS4 hangs when trying to map art on 3D object
The rendering dialog box comes up and never goes away. I have to force a quit.
I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.6
I've got AI CS4
Any ideas?

This may not be exactly what you are looking for but another user experienced a crash:

Scroll down to JETalmage's post and see if you are doing anything which he describes as being a potential cause for AI to stop responding.
Also, as in the link I provided, try to give more details about your scenario so we can see if the problem can be replicated.

Exporting Animated Map Graphics To Final Cut Express HD

Is it possible to create an animated map graphic in IMovie, export it as a quicktime file, then import it into a final cut express HD project and insert it into the timeline?
Thanks,
Jim

I don't have any experience with FCex, but I should think that the simplest solution would be to export the song to iTunes and then import the AIFF file that GB created into FCex.

Is there anyway I can have a graphic track an object in a video?

Is there anyway I can have a graphic track an object in a video?

In FCE it can be done, but it's a rather tedious process. Load the graphic from the Timeline into the Viewer, then click on the Motion tab. Keyframe the movement as needed to follow the subject in the video (while watching the Canvas window).

Even mapping onto 3d object in Illustrator CS3

Having a wee bit of a problem here - I have created artwork for a display stand and, to demonstrate how this will look, I'm trying to make a 3 mockup in illustrator CS3.
I've created a top down shape for the object which I then extrude and map the image on to - this is where the problem arises! Illustrator seems to 'bunch' the mapped image around points where curves are tighter (presumably due the increase in vertices there) rather than mapping it evenly around the surface. This causes some rather undesirable warping of the image which rather ruins the effect!
Can anyone tell me a way of avoiding this?
Many thanks!

But did you have to reposition the mapped symbol, since adding anchors also add surfaces
No. I did exactly what my instructions indicated: I simply positioned the Symbol for mapping onto the front surface, with no scaling. After Illusrtator rendered the result, I selected Add AnchorPoints twice.
The distortion was due to the extended handles of the middle point which gives the front surface its concave shape. Adding anchorPoints effectively shortens the handles, thereby lessening their distortion effect. That does not necessarily add surfaces to the model. A 3D Effect model does not necessarily create additional surfaces for each "patch" defined by anchorPoints. You can see that easily by simply extruding a filled, unstroked ellipse into a cylinder with open endcaps: One surface, despite the four anchorpoints in the section.
Moreover, with the preview checkbox on, the 3D Effect interface highlights the surfaces on your model as you page through them in the Map Art dialog.
OF COURSE the model's section path needs to be drawn with some sense about what 3D Effect will have to do to it geometrically, and about the scale of the 3D model settings relative to the size and aspect ratio of the mapped artwork (thus my admonitions to that effect in my second post). One can't just willy-nilly apply elaborate automatic effects to any carelessly-drawn path and expect results to work right. But assuming appropriately-drawn sections for the extrusion, adding anchorPoints can be an effective means by which to correct distortion caused by long curve handles--just as it can also be used to more closely approximate uniform spacing of Blend steps along curves spines. The long radius concave front of a trade show backdrop is a case-in-point.

Image pixelates when mapped onto 3D object

I have created a bottle by revolveing an object in Illustrator. I created a custom sybol and that is not pixelated at all. The symbol is made of text and an image. To the left is the symbol before it is mapped. As you can see the leaf is not pixelated, but once it is mapped it gets pixelated and blury as seen to the right. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it!!!??

Check your document raster effects settings. You may actually see something with an effect inside the symbol being wrongly rasterized...

Problem with childs nodes and automatic key mapping in a Data Object

Hi experts!
I'm doing the service order tutorial from the mobile help at [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/21/9b5b924c3b434fba4767731794b029/frameset.htm] and I have a problem...
In the topic "Modeling the Equipment Data Object", says you have to mark the "Automatic Key Mapping" checkbox. So when I had to create a third child node ( the location node ) the system raised an exception with the message "Deselect automatic key mapping flag for more than two-level nodes". I'm trying deselecting the flag and creating the location node, but when I want mark again the automatic key mapping flag, this is disabled.
What can I do to solve this and create the three child nodes with the flag marked? It's a configuration thing?
Any help it's very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Simon.

The thing is: Its not allowed to use automatic keymapping if you have more than two levels. This is why the message showed up, and this is why its been disabled.
What automatic keymapping does: Figures out automatically which child node belongs to which parent (by guessing from the field name and type, which fields in the child correspond to which key fields of the parent).
On three levels, this becomes more complicated => Its disabled.
How to do keymapping yourself instead of having the DOE do it automatically: Do 'Explicit keymapping' from each child to its parent. Explicit keymapping is done by clicking on the corresponding menu button in the child node. Here you need to associate child node fields (they need not be key fields of the child, but they are allowed to be that as well) to each of its parent nodes key fields (so that each child can be associated to its parent).
Cheers

Calculation Field to be mapped to different data object's column name in Oracle BAM 12c

Hi,
I am having a challenge to enable drill down to 2nd level report by passing calculation field as parameter.
As an alternative, I am thinking to point calculation field to another data object’s column name and generate report so that I would be able to pass that as parameter to drilling report view.
Is there any way to map calculation field to different Data object’s column name? Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, you can.

Getting a semi-transparent graphic onto a spot plate in InDesign CS6

I'm struggling to get elements of a design onto the fifth colour plate in my InDesign file. Example is shown below. I have made a number of rough-edged strips that retain an element of semi-transparency along their edges (so that the background shows through slightly and gives a brushed/painted on effect). The client needs these elements to be on a fifth plate, Pantone 1385.
I have tried making the graphic as a greyscale psd and as a greyscale tiff with transparency included, but I can't seem to select within InDesign using the content tool and making it on the fifth plate in my ID palette.
Have done it as a CMYK psd for time being on example below just to allow me to show the client as a visual.
Can anyone help me? I have also (briefly) explored channels in Photoshop as well but can't make and headway there too. Is there a simple solution?
Many thanks for any advice.

Thanks for reply, but I think this loses me all transparency?
Make your grayscale file a transparent Monotone like this:
In ID fill the background of the image frame with black:

Mapping and querying Custom Objects for a Contact with REST Api

Hello All,
We are hoping to get some details on managing DataCard set through REST APIs. Our implementation goal is to create Contacts and add Custom object for each Contact, or to be precise, add a DataCard Set for each Contact.
At the moment, to associate a DataCard Set (or Custom Object) to an existing contact, we are supplying following custom object fields during creation of Custom Object:
new CustomObjectField
                                                                name = "MappedEntityType",
                                                                dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                defaultValue = "0"
                                                         new CustomObjectField
                                                                name = "MappedEntityID",
                                                                dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                defaultValue = "<ContactId>"
Is this the correct approach? This is Based on the information provided here: http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/code_it/blog/2012/05/31/eloqua-api-how-to-mapping-a-data-card-to-an-entity.
Would the REST API allow us to query the CustomObjects using the MappedEntityId value for later updates? If so, any pointers on how we approach that?
Thanks in ad.

Either the MappedEntityID field is not available or I do it wrong, Eloqua is ignoring the field and does not map the custom record with the unique Contact ID

Mapping: ORA-04052 Remote Object not found

Hi,
I created a source module with a table reading from an external Oracle database. I can see data so the connection seems to work.
In the target module a mapping trying to read from this table can´t be deployed with this errors message:
- ora-06550: package body, line 0, column 0: ORA 04052: Error while trying to find the remote object: <name of the object> ....... ora-02019: connection description for remote-database not found.
An equal internal mapping, not adressing an external database, works find.
Any idea?
Thanks so much.
Georg

oh, of course.
I could not find dblink, saw some source information. What section/s is /are to be checked?
I find code like
SELECT
/*+ NO_MERGE */
/* OBJSTAMM.INOUTGRP1 */
"OBJSTAMM"."OBJEKTNUMMER" "OBJEKTNUMMER"
FROM
"VMAN30M"."OBJSTAMM"@"PDORA06@QUELLE_VISMAN_LOCATION" "OBJSTAMM"
Is there a way to find out the correct "from" path?
Thanks Georg
