Objects turn into orange shapes when working in 3D...

Almost every time I start working with obects in a 3D project, at some point while moving the camera in 3D space, the objects turn into bright orange "shapes", and I have to quit and restart Motion. Anyone else having this strange problem?

No, I don't have two displays, just one 23" apple cinema display. The problem has gotten worse since my last post....I can't make any more than a few adjustments in 3D space, especially moving lights around, without all the objects turning orange and having to close and reopen the project. I notice that when moving a light, the light hitting the object "strobes" and turns into"pixellated lines" a few times, and then objects turns orange. It's getting very frustrating...that along with the text "pan tool" bug, I'm having to close and reopen Motion close to 40 times a day.

  • Creating gradient mesh object, object turns into gradient mesh object w/ white fill

    Creating gradient mesh object, object turns into a gradient mesh object w/ white fill automatically.
    I would like this to be a stroke object as I cannot see the picture that I am trying to recreate.
    Illustrator is not allowing me to change the white fill into a stroke after I create the gradient mesh object.
    Here is the image when I try to create the gradient mesh object, I do not have the white fill option chosen and the image still
    becomes a white fill gradient mesh object.
    Please can anyone help??
    Thank you.

    Sure. A gradient mesh won't have strokes. It will always have fills. If you want no fill, you need to set the opacity of a single mesh point to 0%. But you actually don't want to do that for the complete grid, because it will be very time consuming to adjust this back to 100 percent for every single meshpoint when coloring them.
    Instead the usual setup is with the two layers. This allows you to see the gridlines and the template. Then you first adjust the grid (color doesn't matter for this). Then you pick up the colors from the template to color the single mesh points. From time to time you switch into preview to admire your work.

  • Using webmail in Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 8, original messages get turned into html code when I reply to or forward them. How can I fix this?

    I have tried re-setting Firefox and working in Safe Mode, but the problem still recurs. I use Fastmail as my webmail server and never had this problem on Windows XP or Windows 7. When I reply to a message, the original message is turned into html code. The same happens when I forward a message.
    My JavaScript is up to date, in case that's relevant. The Fastmail support team suggested the problem would be Firefox-related.
    The other function of my Fastmail account that isn't working properly in Firefox 17.0.1. is the search function.
    Do I need to get new plugins or something? I don't know where the HTML editor is in Firefox or if that's what's wrong.
    Regards,
    Rachel

    Thanks for your reply, cor-el. Norton 360 came pre-installed on the laptop as part of the package I bought. I haven't changed the pre-set firewall or anti-virus settings. Should I change something?
    I will try rebooting in Windows Safe mode as you say and report if that makes any difference.

  • Genius playlists turn into normal playlists when plugged into iTunes

    hi everyone,
    my problem with my iPod touch is that when i make a new Genius playlist on the iPod, it turns into a normal playlist (i.e. one that you can't refresh and which is listed as a plain playlist underneath the Genius playlists) once i plug it into iTunes.
    I updated my iPod touch (16GB) to the newest software version (3.1.3), and my iTunes is the most recent version (9.0.3.15). the problem persists.
    i tried to fiddle around with iTunes a bit, so in Preferences > Devices, i checked the box to "prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically". however, this simply prevented a new Genius playlist from showing up when i plugged the iPod into iTunes, and then when i checked the iPod itself, the Genius playlist was gone!
    the computer i have been having these problems with is my work computer, and the iTunes library is empty. is there an off-chance that this has something to do with the problem?

    An iPod (except for iPod touch) is not directly related (in a technical way) to an Apple ID.  You can use a shuffle even if you don't have an Apple ID.  And there is no way for Apple to "link" to a shuffle (like it can with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch).  So, I don't think the two things are related.
    The Apple ID may have become disabled if someone tried to log in unsuccessfully (gave wrong password) more than a certain consecutive number of times.  You'll need to contact Apple customer support, using the Contact Us link at the bottom right corner of this web page.  First, try logging in with the Apple ID, to confirm it is really disabled.  There are some sophisticated scams out there these days, that try to trick you into revealing your username and password with fake emails.  Actually, if you are posting here after logging in with that Apple ID, it is not disabled.
    For the shuffle, which model is it?  This document shows the four types
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    If the light on the shuffle does not come on when connected, there is no power getting to the shuffle (which explains what you describe).  The possible causes are (1) the USB port not working or not supplying sufficient power, (2) a faulty USB docking cable, or (3) a problem on the shuffle (such as a bad headphones jack or logic board).
    If you can rule out (1) and (2) with some troubleshooting, the cause is more likely to be (3).  If you use a USB hub, be sure to try it with a direct USB port on the computer, and test that port with something else (preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive).  If you have another USB docking cable, or if you can try the cable you have with another 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, that wound be a good test.

  • Excel tables turn into black boxes when put into PDF

    I'm working in Framemaker 8 and when I try to turn the document into a PDF, any excel table in the document turns into a black box.  Is there any way to fix this?!

    Add the following to your CSS
    a img { border: none; }
    Also, externalize your CSS.
    Put all your CSS rules (currently all rules are pasted separately into the <head> of every webpage) into a single external stylesheet e.g. dubzz.css.
    Then delete all the CSS rules in the <head> of every page and link every page to that stylesheet (dubzz.css) and upload everything.
    That way, you only have to maintain your CSS rules for the entire website from one tiny file. Then upload and every page will be instantly up to date.

  • Fonts turn into blank documents when copied

    Hello,
    I've got quite a few fonts here which have worked on every other apple I've used before but which turn into blank documents & won't work in fontbook when copied onto my powerbook. The people I bought it from suggested I re-install the fonts (of which, Interstate is the one I particularly need) from the original disks. Thing is, I've lost them. Any ideas?
    Thanks...

    How are you "pasting" them? If you are exporting JPG from Illustrator use Worst's Insert > Picture > From File. PNG would probably be a better option for your export, though.

  • Drop Shadow turns into a glow when applying warp?

    Hello,
    I keep trying to apply the same drop shadow to warped text, but AI automatically makes the text glow instead of having the drop shadow. I have tried retyping the text, copying the text from another file, and expanding the appearance befor using the warp and to no avail-- it always turns my drop shadow into a glow.
    whats going on?
    K

    Sounds like some of the bugs I am encountering too. Had a large file open, so I took the element out of the big file, pasted into another file, even tried restarting illustrator. What worked - sort of - was ungrouping and then trying to apply the effect. Good Luck!

  • You know your turning into a geek when........

    .......... you get to CompUSA and start to drool over a PSU. HAHA Thats what I did tonight. Went in looking around for some new goodies, when I happen to look up on a shelf with a few over so-so power supplys, and saw they had an "Ultra X-connect 500w" PSU. Then my little beedy (sp) eyes started to glaze over, palms started to sweat, heart started racing. I looked around to make make sure there wasn't another geek or two gonna come up and grab one of these little gems out of my little sweaty hand. Anyway, you get the idea.
    Man, I really must say, these are some killer PSU's. I just got my system back up after installing it, and it must be my imagnation or something, but my whole system is freak'n acting a hell'va lot snappier. I checked the voltages and its  holding just over the numbers on all rails, steady as a rock. Sweet look'n little unit too. With a mirrored chrome finish, UV reactive cables, and was one of the best packed boxes I've seen a PSU come in. Ok, I like it, ok? hehe. Gonna run some tests and see if I can get a few more Mhz now.
    Ok, dam it! I'm a believer now..... as well as a geek, it looks like.  
    Edited: For typos, never try and write when your dog tired, and haven't had any sleep in twenty some hours, lol.

    pinochio, Well, my wife knows how I am about computers and gaming. "Obsessive"
    Paul Foster, Cool man, Thanks  
    devil28, Before I used a Antec truepower 430, and a smartpower 450. Both of which have served me well, but still didn't quite cut it when it comes to powering this system. Imagination or not, I can run a a higher O/C and with tighter timings than I could before, I'm running the 4 dimms in my sig at DDR 400 O/C'd with tight as tight a timings as I could with just two dimms at the same freq. on either of those two PSU's I mentioned. Also, the Sata connectors now come packaged in the newer shipments. Although CompUSA last night had the older ones, but thats not a problem to me.... My HD has both type of connectors. Also, Ultra is shipping out the Sata connectors free to those that buy without them packaged in. The only slight issue I had with the cables is the length. In my case, it was kinda a tight fit, but still worked out wonderfully. Next week I'm gonna get one of the huge a$$ CoolerMaster server cases that CompUSA has... and I mean HUGE.... Awesome case... just can't recall the model atm. I'll look it up.

  • Saved files in illustrator turn into all black when viewing

    Hi All,
    I've searched through the forums + google but haven't been able to get an answer on why this is happening.  Sometimes when I save files as a pdf in Illustrator, or receive files from other people the image loses it's colour. 
    All colour is just black.  I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see what I mean, the colours here are supposed to be a shades of a PMS colour, but instead they're all black.
    Hopefully someone can help!
    Thanks in advance.
    Jo

    You should never view any PDF in any other program than Acrobat or Reader. All other viewers support only a subset of PDF standards, so they are not reliable viewer program.
    The Word thing has nothing to do with Illustrator or PDF. You need to know,
    in which program the Word embedded graphic was created.
    how the graphic was saved as. Not every file type, which can be imported on Word in Windows is supported completely on the Mac, like EMF, WMF, but also other file types. (The other way round is also true.)
    How the graphic was imported. Some people copy an image or a graphic from a source and paste it via clipboard. Which is not a good way, because it needs several system ressources from the local computer to show up in the host application, in that case in Word. If such a document is opened on a different computer, often even on the same Operating System, those images show up black. The only correct and robust way to import images in Word is via the Insert-Command or button with a compatible file selected.
    Another problem might be, that an image or graphic was inserted in a version which creates docx files, like 2007 or 2010.Those versions support more graphic file types than older versions do. But because some people think, it is better to save files as DOC than as DOCX (smae with PowerPoint or Excel) for compability those images get lost and are only represented as black boxes. In my experience it happens often with PNG-24 files. It is never a good idea to save DOCX back to DOC. I inerit only problems with that workflow. (Also when I import files into InDesign I get always messed up with footnotes with this method, several get lost, several change their reference with each other, I have got DOCs where not even 1 of 400 footnotes was on its original place after import to InDesign. But this is another topic, but it is also an argument to avoid this workflow!)

  • Firefox turns into small window when drag it or minimized

    It was working perfectly and now when I want to drag it the browser becomes a very small window. The same happens if I click minimize or the other "medium size " command whatever t'call.
    Tried restarting, closing and reopening and nothign has changed.

    It's a problem with Windows 8 if you are using any pre-release version or try to reset Firefox!
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
