Need help creating a 3d logo in AE CS6

Hello,
My name is Stephanie and I'm trying to make a logo for a friend of mine in After Effects CS6. I have only been using this program for about a month so I still do not know everything about it, but I'm slowly learning more and more.
Anyways, I finished creating the logo in Photoshop, saved it both as a jpg and as a psd file. I looked up some tutorials on how to make text 3d in AE but I've found that since it is not a text object anymore that under "Geometry Options" there is no option to bevel or extrude, as all of the tutorials I looked at used this method.
Is there a way that I can take this basic black wording over a white background (which I will eventually make transparent) and make it 3d with depth?
I apologize if this is not the right section to ask this but I haven't used these forums too much. Also I said, I tried looking around for the answer but I don't want to spend hours looking if it cannot be done.
Thank you!

Need help creating "rubber stamp" logo

I would like to create what should look like a rubber stamp, to place inside an Indesign document. Something like this (drawn very roughly in Photoshop):
However, although I have Illustrator CS4 (Macintosh version) I've never used it and could need some pointers. I use Photoshop a lot however, so if it's remotely similar it may not be that hard. Basically I want to know:
- how to create two circles, one inside the other aligned perfectly
- how to place text in between the two circles, following the curves
- how to place text in the middle circle
- how to make the whole logo "worn" as in "not evenly filled with ink", just like a real rubber stamp would look like on paper.
If the latter isn't possible in Illustrator I can easily do it in Photoshop when bitmapped, but if I could create everything in vector graphics the advantage would be a resizeable logo without any loss.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help!
I've now managed to create my "rubber stamp", but couldn't figure out how to get the "worn" effect.
The link posted above is one solution of course (haven't tried it, but understand the principle), however I personally don't think that makes it look realistic enough. So I exported the image into Photoshop, added a mask and painted through with very low opacity to let the background through here and there in varying densities.
That took care of the uneven ink and worn/damaged sections of the rubber stamp.
But upon importing the Photoshop file into my Indesign document I found out that my rubber stamp is a little too small, so now I need to import the Illustrator file into Photoshop again, resize it a little bigger, then apply the mask/editing again from scratch
I guess there's a better way to do this, only I haven't found out how yet. Suggestions?

Need Help creating an animated GIF in Photoshop CS6 Trail version

Everyone,
I am new to PS6 and reating animated GIF's and would like to get some guidance. I am trying
to put the following animation together and very confused when I try to get the section and also
how to add new things to it. I am running the trial version of PS CS6 on a WIndoes 7 environment.
Trying to ensure that I can do the things I want prior to puchasing the product.
The following is what I want to do:
1.     With the logo, have it be as if there is a spotlight moving back and forth at medium speed,
       shining on the logo. Wherever the light hits, have that section sparkle. That will be exquisite.
2.     Have the "CLICK HERE," words alternate starkly (not blending) between white and pumpkin orange.
       Again, medium speed. That will be garish, but is okay because it's not part of the designed section.
The file is attached. I am having trouble trying to select just the "CLICK HERE" portion of the
logo to have the words alternating color. I cannot figure out how to get a spotlight function to this logo.
Then how to have it sparkle when the spotlight hits the other section of the logo and not have the
spotlight going over to the "Click Here" part of the logo.
I could really use some direction on this and would appreciate it greatly. Thanx in advance.
Jerry

The banner does not have to be this large. Here is a link to using the spotlight with sparkles:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-5012713-285076/371-194/bannerA nimTest2.gif
Also, the spotlight should be just over the "CLICK HERE" section. If the spotlight could apply in the diameter to the whole text of "Click Here". and use the sparkles,
that would be great and then I can break it out and see how it is done. Again, it does not have to be this large, maybe a little larger the the size of the first one I posted
would be good. Then how would I get it to a jpg and gif file? Thanx in advance.

Uber Noob Needs Help Creating website!

I need help creating my webpage: It has a textbox on it were
the user enters a URL and it then redirects the end user to that
URL when they press the GO Button. It also has a check box saying
"Hide my IP", If the end user clicks this box and then clicks go
they will be directed to the website they stateted in the Textbox
but this time it shall mask there IP Address so they can bypass
proxys and surf anonomosly. Please can someone give me some HTML
code i could use for this site or a Link to a website that can give
me the code.

I assume the application is connecting to Oracle using an application ID/password. If so, check to see if that user has a private synonyn to the table. If so drop it since you have a public synonym.
Verify that the public synonym is in fact correct. Drop and recreate the public synonym if you cannot select against the synonym name using an ID that can perform select * from inhouse.icltm where rownum = 1. That is if this other user cannot issue select * from icltm where rownum = 1 without an error.
Check that the application ID has the necessary object privileges on the table.
Queries you need
select * from dba_synonyms
where table_owner = 'INHOUSE'
and table_name = 'ICLTM'
You may find both public and private synonms. Either fix or delete. (Some may reference someelses.icltm table if one exists)
select * from dba_tab_privs
where table_name = 'ICLTM'
and owner = 'INHOUSE'
Note - it is possible to create mixed case or lower case object names in Oracle by using double quotes around the name. Do not do this, but do look to see that this was not done.
You could also query dba_objects for all object types that have the object_name = 'ICLTM'

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. please help.

What problem are you having that should be easy just create the layer to make frames with. Create a frame animation in the timeline panel. Create the frames and set their display time. Save an animated gif for the web ie "Save For Web"
Prior to CS6 Photoshop only had a Animation Palette in CS Adobe replaced the palette with the Timeline Palette that can do Frame animations and Video. You can render a fame animation as a video but video does not support transparency like and animated Gif.

Need help creating landscape in AE

Hi, I need to create an animation of a train moving through different landscape scenes. I want the hills to be an actual 3D rendering with the train moving through them but I am unsure how to do this. I am familiar with 3D and can create the hills in my 3D application but how do I get my 3D hill into AE so the train, camera and lights etc. can interact with the hill?
1. How do i get my 3D hill into AE?
2. How do I add the train so it goes around the hills?
3. How do I get the camera and lights etc. to reflect on my 3D hill?

First of all, it would be very helpful to post an example of the kind of look you're going for or a similar shot you're trying to recreate. In animation there are limitless ways of making things so it really helps to be very specific. For now I can advise this much...
1. Render your hills out of your 3D application as an image sequence that supports transperancy if you want to layer them or you want the sky to show up behind them.
2. If you want the train to go around the hills, it really depends on how you make the train. Are you also rendering that in a 3D app?
3. I don't know what you mean by getting the camera to reflect, but when you make a layer 3D, After Effects shows the Material Options settings that allow you to control how your layers react to different lighting setups.

Aperture Workflow - need help creating workflow for photo management

Hi -
I currently shoot with a Canon SD890 (point & shoot) and a Nikon D300 (SLR). My photography is either personal photography or street photography. I may use some of my photography for a web project but that should not be considered right now. I shoot jpegs with the SD890 and RAW with the D300. I need to create a workflow that will allow me to manage all of my photos as well as the RAW vs JPEG aspect. Here are a few initial questions:
1) Should I separate the RAW and JPEGs in Aperture (two libraries)? One library for finished photos and one for negatives?
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
I am interested to hear how others do this...especially if you use both point & shoot and SLR cameras.
Thanks for your help!

No, use a single Library. Aperture will have no problems with the various formats or with various different cameras.
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
Actually those date or event driven batches of images are very logically "Projects" in Aperture. Simply name each group of images as you import into AP as a new Project.
IMO it is not good to import camera-to-Aperture (or direct to any app other than the Finder). Best is to use a card reader and use the Finder to copy images from the camera card to a folder on the computer hard drive.
Below is my Referenced-Masters workflow:
• Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive. I label that folder with the Project name suffixed with _masters, that way I can always find the Masters if Aperture forgets where they are.
• Eject CF.
• Burn backup copies of the original images to DVDs or to hard drives (optional backup step).
• Eject backup DVDs/hard drives (optional backup step).
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
• Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
I strongly recommend that every Aperture user spend $35 and work through the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in working the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
Good luck!

Need help creating arraylist

I am trying to help a friend in school with a project and we need some help...
We need to write a program to estimate how much paint is needed to paint a house. Assuming we know the square feet that a gallon of paint covers, number of coats required, and the dimensions of the wall, window, door, or gable.
We are using a GUI to enter the data for the different regions.
We have the GUI created and the hierchy competed. I need some help creating the arraylist to run the program.
The user will enter a new region by selecting:
surface type
width
height
then you will be able to add or insert to include this region in the list.
You will also be able modify, delete, or navigate to existing regions in the list by selecting the appropriate navigigation buttons below:
( |< or < or > or >| )
Classes include:
PaintEstimatorView
PainEstimator Model
Regions:
Wall
Door
Gable
Window
And the Approriate Listners
Each region will have its own height and width which are set when the region is created
Each region will compute and return its area and the walls and gables will contribute to the surface; windows and doors will reduce the surface.
each region will calculate its area.
We need to include a View and Model
The view will manage the interface and the model will provide the necessary processing.
responsibilities of the view:
Instantiate and arrange the windowobjects
instantiate and initialize the model
handle user generated events such as button clicks and menu selections by sending message to the model
represent the model to the user.
Model:
Define and manage the applications data(coordinating the activities of several programmer defined classes)
respond to messages from the view
We have the GUI completed I just need some help getting the arraylist started to run the program.
We will need to keep a count and index of all the regions created by the user and you need to be able to shuffle throught them if you need to delete or modify them. You also need to insert windows and doors which will subtract from the total surface area but you have to go back to which ever wall or gable and create the window or door before or after that region.
If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavnce

Iscripts - Need help creating a form in one

I am confused about delimiting in iscripts. I need to create the fiollowing form:
In iscript named IScript1
in function: buildform
buildform has these two inputs, firstname and lastname
the action of the form is also in iscript1 function getinputs
iscript getinputs will just print out the firstname and lastname
Could I get some help with this?
Thanks, Allen Cunningham

Your site is running on an Apache server, so it definitely doesn't support ASP. Apache frequently supports PHP, but I couldn't tell from the headers sent by your server whether it's supported on your site.
I suggest that you contact BT Business support to see if they offer a formmail script. Most hosting companies do. The support pages should describe how to set it up.

Need help creating many, many users.

Hi,
I need to create around 500,000 users in the iFS schema in the quickest possible way.
The java API will do about 2 a second, which gives me an overhead of a few days?!?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, this list has never let me down yet ;o)
Paul.

Paul, we have not tested creating that many users in iFS, so we don't know if you will run into any issues. And I don't have any timed stats for creating users through XML.
But we believe that using the Java API is the fastest way to create users.
You will want to create the users in batch, and disconnect between batches, as the JVM memory will increase during the create.
So you may want to create the users 10,000 at a time, and then disconnect and reconnect to create the next 10,000. Set your java MX setting for the JVM as high as you can (say, 768M), and then measure your memory usage for the first 10,000 users to see close to the MX setting the JVM gets.

Need help creating script to clear data with user inputs

Hi experts.
I need to create a script to clear data in a DEV system from a particular junction.
Basically, I need the user to enter a CATEGORY, ENTITY and TIME which will then be used to delete all data in a particular table which meetes those criteria.
I tried to write it in SSIS, but can't get a user input box.
Also, Stored Procedures are not designed to open input boxes for these entries.
Therefore, is there a way to do this in BPC script logic?
I believe that I might be able to write either a Stored Procedure or DTSX package and then pass data from BPC Run Package?
If this is correct, how would I go about it?
Also, would it be possible to read the DISTINCT entries for Category, Time and Entity and present as a dropdown list? (It doesn't matter too much if not, a manual entry would have to do).
I will admit that I have no experience of script logc, so any docments and/or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank Karthik, but I can't use the clear for this job.
Specifically, I need this to delete from the LCK tables whenever data gets stuck, so if anyone can tell me the format to use, I'd be extremely grateful
(And I appreciate that this is not recommended, but it's a DEV system and we need a way to clear these locks quickly when they occur)
