NEWBIE Question: Is it possible to create a "Branding Iron" effect?

Hello!
I would like to make an effect of a branding iron burning our logo onto a surface. Not knowing too much about Motion (I'm more of an FCP guy) I'd like to see if I can do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Andy

It's complicated but, yes, it's possible.
Creating the smoke/steam and adding some sizzle/grunge/decay to the edges of the logo are not difficult in Motion. They just take lots of experimentation (or lots of help from Sheffield).
The tough part is creating the branding iron itself since Motion has no 3D capabilities. Adding a red hot glow to the iron object should be easy if you understand creative masking.
Try to deconstruct the effect you're looking for, consider the degree of realism or stylization you're willing to accept and then try to figure out how many different layers or pieces you'll need to pull it off.
It's not something I'd attempt in Motion but, umm, to be frank, I'd rather eat barbed wire than try ANYTHING in Motion that I can do in After Effects.

Is it possible to create multi-step parallax effect in Muse?

I wonder if it is possible to create parrallax cheme like here http://www.rbcplus.ru/news/551a11037a8aa955a2b7f0cb
Namely:
1) the object (in this case left sidebar http://c2n.me/3gdkXLL.png ) is scrolling along with all page till some point 1
2) the object stops and is fixed till some other point 2
3) after the point 2 the object is scrolling along the page again
It is very useful if I have objects which have to be fixed and full width footer.
Thanks.

I assume that you're referring to the twisty 3D ribbons.

----- Is it possible to create this mask shape effect in FCP X?

I've been playing around with some masks in FCP X, but I cannot figure out how to create this effect..is it possible?
I am interested in creating a mask shape where I can use it to identify something on the screen inside the shape with the surrounding area darker.
In FCP 6/7, I used to just add a slug on top of the clip, add a mask shape, tweak it, invert it and lower the opacity.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

in FCPX no masks nor additional tracks needed:
select the clip
in the Info board, select the Color Correction
there's a built-in Mask tool - select that
switch on the Color Board, here comes the trick: …
you are allowed to select WHERE the correction is applied: inside or outside the mask
(in my German interface Innen/Außen)
drag down the general exposure
there are handles to define size, shape, position
you can drag the outer circle (no handles) to define blurr gradient
you can even animate that highlight by key-framing it ....
with the same tool, you can e.g. apply super-fast some simple 'grading' such a 'CSI Miami-style Blue Sky':

Is it possible to create a "leave colour" effect with imovie? If so how?

I've been messing around with different exposures, saturations etc. all night and I still haven't been able to figure out how to show a black & white clip with one colour (in this case red) for contrast. Any techies out there who can help me please?

... "leave colour" effect ...
.. which is widely asked & discribed at any FinalCut/Epress board as 'Schindler's List Effect' (= the red dressed girl in the b/w scenery...)..
no, this is a highly elaborated post-production effect to 'pick' a color, using that as a 'mask' and make any other surrounding b/w...

Is it possible to create a Report Object in a menu?

Hi all,
I 'm working on an oracle report wherein the user will not give any parameter.
They would like to view the report by clicking on the menu option for this report and it should then open the report in an new browser window
in pdf format.
My question:
Is it possible to create a report object in the menu?how can we do this?
I'm working on Oracle reports version Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
TIA

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Through form I'm able to create report object and report is displayed successfully.
I'm using the following code:
DECLARE
          report_id Report_Object;
          ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
          rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
          report_id:= find_report_object('Report1');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'vouno='||:vouno||' paramform=no');
          ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
          rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
          LOOP
                    rep_status := report_object_status(ReportServerJob);
          END LOOP;
          IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
          WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://sushma:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
          substr(ReportServerJob,instr(ReportServerJob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_sushma','_blank');
          ELSE
                    message('Error when running report');
          END IF;
END;
I'm not able to use the same code in Menu, as there is no way to create report object "Report1"
Or is there any was to create object.
So in place of report_id:= find_report_object('Report1');
I used report_id:= find_report_object('c:\.... *.RDF');

CP5.5 - Is it possible to create a quiz summary screen with all questions reviewed on one screen?

Hello Forum members,
I was wondering if it is possible, rather than having a quiz review where you review the quiz questions one screen at a time, if it is possible to create a quiz summary screen, which will provide a summary of which questions were answered incorrectly/correctly (without actually giving the user the correct answers)?
An example of what I'd like to achieve is below:
Is this possible in CP5.5? Perhaps with Advanced Actions/variables?
many thanks
Loraine

Hello Loraine,
This is possible using Advanced Actions and variables. After every question, On Success you can set a variable to 1 and create a custom screen where you can show/hide the tick mark graphic based on the variable value set.
For Ex:
- For question 1, on success, set x=1
- On the results screen, correct tick mark graphic is hidden. If x=1, then show the correct tick mark.
Like this you can do for all the questions. Will wait for others also to comment for any quicker solution.
Thanks,
Vish

Is it possible to create table variable by copying structure of existing table?

Greetings community,
It’s a newbie question.
I’m still learning T-SQL, and I’m not very familiar with its syntax, so I’m not sure if I’m asking something stupid. I’m creating a “stored function”. I need to create temporary table variable to do some “thinking” in it and spit out a
scalar result. Actually, I have to create about ten similar functions to process ten tables in similar way, so I was searching is it possible to speed it up.
I was wondering is there any way, instead of declaring table variable with list of gazillion columns (and having the possibility to mistype something), to declare table variable so it would inherit structure of existing table.
Thanks for any help.

Temp table variable can not be created on the fly, but temp table can be created.
If you want just the structure, you can use the below.
SELECT Top 0
INTO #temp
FROM
Sales.SalesOrderHeader

Is it currently possible to create a doughnut chart with multiple concentric circles in SSRS?

Is there currently any way to create a 'doughnut' chart with multiple concentric circles in an SSRS report (any version), without using 3rd party tools?
Something like this, perhaps?
(For that matter is it possible to create this using JavaScript? It's my understanding that this image was originally created in a web app using JavaScript. So far I've not been able to pin down the details. I've found hints that JavaScript
can be used in SSRS reports but so far no clear working examples.)

Hi B.Chernick,
According to your description, you want to create a create a doughnut chart with multiple concentric circles in your report. Right?
In Reporting Services, we only have doughnut chart with one concentric circle. All the category group is in that concentric circle. Though we can embed javascript injection in expression, it only give the css style to values or report
items which can change the looking. It can't change the structure of the report items itself. So your requirement can't be achieved current.
For your requirement, we suggest you provide Microsoft a feature request at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer
so that we may try to expand the product features based on your needs.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Is it possible to create relational view on Analytic Workspace in Oracle 9i Release1

Hi All,
We are in the initial stages of Oracle 9i OLAP prototype. Since the current version of BIBeans 2.5 does not work with Release 2 of Oracle 9i OLAP, we are planning to use Oracle 9i OLAP Release 1. So can you please answer the following questions.
1. Is it possible to create relational view on Analytic Workspace(like in Release 2) and populate the OLAP catalog, if so can you give me guidance to get the appropriate user guide. The OLAP DML guide in Release 1 talks about creating OLAP catalog metadata for Analytic Workspace using a metadata locator object.
2, Is it advisable to use Oralce 9i OLAP Release 1? Does the Analytic Workspace and the corresponding BIBeans work in Release 1?
Thank you,
Senthil

Analytic Workspaces (Express/multidimensional data objects and procedures written in
the OLAP DML) are new to Oracle9i OLAP Release 2, you cannot find them in Release 1.
BI Beans will soon (within a week) introduce a version on OTN that will work with Oracle9i OLAP Release 2.

Is it possible to create a custom display type in DIAdem, for example a speedometer type instrument?

As an example I have velocity data which shows a vehicle accelerating from rest to 60 km/h and then travelling at a constant speed. As opposed to displaying this data using a 2D axis system is it possible to create a new speedometer display type to display this information? Maybe this display type already exists but I have not come across it yet? I've been using DIAdem for a few days now. The current version I am using is 11.2. It has been suggested in the past that it was possible to display data using numeric displays etc but I can't seem to find the features in v11.2. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Matthew,
I'm sorry for the [extremely] delayed reply - I have been out of the office (and out of the country) for two weeks with extremely limited email access. I've attached the files that I used to create the example you saw in the YouTube video embedded above. Please note that I threw this together pretty quickly for the video, and that it is not "commercial quality." Use this as a proof-of-concept upon which to elaborate to get started.
The parts are:
CAN Synchronization.tdv
This is the DIAdem VIEW Layout that contains the video, map, 2D axis, and embedded user dialog with ActiveX gauge control. Think of this as the "user interface" you see in the video.
Gauge.sud
This is the scriptable user dialog (SUD) box that is embedded in the VIEW Layout described above. It contains the ActiveX control which I have affectionately named "MyGauge."
DisplayCursorCommand.vbs
This is the short script that is designed to react to the event that fires when the cursor is playing in DIAdem VIEW. I have commented all 5-ish lines with their functionality.
In order to register the script so that it fires in reaction to the event when the cursor is playing, I chose to register it as a DIAdem UserCommand (Settings » Options » Extensions » User Commands) and then run the line of code:
View.Events.onCursorChange = "DisplayCursor"
You could do this elsewhere within some other script.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia ??

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia series 40 mobile phones using j2me ??

Probably a good question for ForumNokia. If you mean start up a thread and run in the background while your MIDlet UI does other things, then sure, why not. If you mean that you want to exit your MIDlet, but leave a thread running in the background, then I don't believe you can do this on series 40. S60 is another story since it supports multiple tasks.

Is it possible to create a rule across 2 models?

Is it possible to create a rule across 2 models? I added Jack as a creator of an articles in articles model and then I added a row to make creator a subclass of person. So now I'm trying to query across 2 models. I was trying the following query. Give me the grandfather of the author of the article with the title ERNIEX
SELECT m grandfater, c creator, t title
FROM TABLE(SDO_RDF_MATCH(
'(?t :title "ERNIEX") (?m fam:grandParentOf ?c)',
SDO_RDF_Models('articles2', 'family'),
SDO_RDF_Rulebases('RDFS', 'family_rb'),
SDO_RDF_Aliases(SDO_RDF_Alias('','http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'), SDO_RDF_Alias('fam','http://www.example.org/family/')),
null));
When I run the query about I get the error
ORA-20000: We do not have a valid rules index for this Model-Rulebase combination
So I thought to create a index but I'm not sure how. I tired the following code but I think I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Or for that matter does anyone know of a more extensive tutorial to using the database? Thanks
BEGIN
SDO_RDF_INFERENCE.CREATE_RULES_INDEX(
'rdfs_rix_articles2_faily',
SDO_RDF_Models('family', 'articles2'),
SDO_RDF_Rulebases('RDFS','family_rb')
END;
Ernest Lim

You are right, a rules index would have to be created for the rulebases and both the models you use in the query. The example in the rules index creation you have shown at the end of your post does exactly that - creates a rules index for the set of rulebases and models: RDFS, family_rb, family, articles2. Once that rules index is created you should be able to run the query without getting the error.
Did you get an error while trying to create a rules index using the code shown in your post?
