Seamlessly wrap a pattern around a 3D shape in Illustrator?

Does anybody know how to seamlessly wrap a vector pattern around a 3D rectangle in Illustrator? I've tried doing it by taking sections of the vector pattern and using the skew tool to adjust the perspective, but it looks off. Thanks!

That's not a 3D box. It's a 2D oblique.
If you want an actual 3D model, you can:
1. Draw three rectangles proportional to the 3 visible sides of the box. Fill them with the pattern. Store each as a Symbol.
2. Draw a filled, unstroked rectangle the size of one of the visible sides. Use Effect>3D>Extrude&Bevel to extrude it to a proportional depth.
3. Use the Map Artwork feature in the 3D Effect dialog to map the Symbols to the visible sides.
If you want to know a simple way to construct a properly proportioned 2D axonometric box, this PDF might help.

Wrapping a pattern

Hi,
I've only just started the steep learning curve for Illustrator, so I'm very much still finding my way around the software.
That said, I'm stuck on something and quite frustrated that I can't move any further with it and so I was hoping someone from the forum could give a little advice.
I'm trying to recreate the look of a mosaic vase I have above my fireplace. I've created the vase shape using some ellipses. And I've created a pattern swatch that resembles the mosaic pattern on the vase itself.
But I can't for the life of me make either the vase 3D or wrap the pattern around it in a way that would look 3D.
It would be fantastic to have a little advice from some of the more expert users out there.
Thanks,
Audree

Thanks Jacob,
I'm working in CS4.
And I'm pleased that I've played around with the envelope functions and warp>bulge has produced exactly the sort of effect I was looking for.
Many thanks for your help,
Audree

How to wrap an image around a mug in Photoshop CS5?

I have tried many things like transform -> warp or tried to play with 3D but nothing gave me an effect like this image. Does anyone know a good tutorial or would like to explain to me how to wrap an image around a mug and make it look realistic like this?

For Photoshop Elements
Step A
Select the Type Tool, type in your text
.. then look at the top of the
page
You will see an arc with a T over it
Click on that and you will be
able to curve the text
Step B
There are 3 items to consider in order for this project to come out
satisfactorily.
A. The picture of the coffee mug needs to be properly
sized, and enhanced
B. Directions for the text above
C. The picture for application to the mug needs to be
configured so that its curvature conforms. I shall give you directions, but the
values may require adjustment for your particular picture:
Duplicate background layer, and shut off visibility by clicking on its eye
icon
Increase canvas size Image>resize>canvas
size. Uncheck relative. Enter new values for width & height. Try 120% (+/-).
You need more "real estate" for the next steps. The checkerboard pattern denotes
transparency, which you want all around.
Rotate picture. Image>rotate>layer, 90
degrees right
Filter>distort>spherize. Set mode to vertical only. Amount 100%
Filter>distort>shear. Click center of control line, grab this center
handle, and pull just a little to left
Rotate picture back. Image>rotate>layer>90 degrees left
Copy to clipboard, paste on picture of mug. Position and adjust size with
move tool.
Edit: Resolution of picture of mug and of picture to be applied should be about
the same number. You can check this in Image>resize>picture size before you embark on
above.

CS 4 Wrapping a logo around a bottle

I am trying to remember how to wrap a logo around a bottle and can't remember how to do it. It isn't working with warp in photoshop. I have the text rasterized since it was created on a PC and don't have the matching fonts on the Mac. Help please? Thank you.

Several ways but next time you should have them outline the text and not rasterize it.
But since it is done then you can place the logo image under a closed path shaped like a can and Use Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object
But before doing so copy the can shape and you might want to fill the copy which you send to the back and fill it wih a gradient and the set the top object with the distorted log to multiply in the transparency panel
Or use Use Effect>3D>Revolve and then use the Map art Feature
You have to turn your logo into a symbol but
if it has an opaque background you have to
Copy it it and paste in front or paste in back
then select both and make the top one an opacity mask by going to the Transparency and from the flyout choose Opacity Mask Make
and the choose clip and invert to make the background transparent then make the art a symbol
Then map the symbol to your 3D can as such
If you need a tutorial I will do a video later but perhaps someone else can explain it better.

How do i take a image of a wine glass and wrap a image around it in indesign cs6

How do i take and image of a wine glass and wrap another image around it!

InDesign isn't the correct application for such a manipulation.
If the "image of a wine glass" is a 2-dimensional image, you may be able to create the illusion of something wrapped around it in Photoshop, but there won't be any automatic solutions. Fundamentally, what you're proposing is a function of 3-D modeling.

Wrapping vector label around a photographed bottle

I've designed a label for a soda bottle and now want to wrap it around a photograph of a bottle. I actually mocked up the label and conducted a photoshoot, but now that I'm looking at it, the colors just don't match (see examples below) - which is why I want to utilize the vector label and slap it over the photograph.
Since I've gone ahead and mocked up the bottle with the printed wrapper adhered to it, I want the positioning of the vector label to match up to the photographed label as closely as possible - because you can't get any better perspective than reality. The bottle was shot as dead on to center as possible, there is only an inkling of a vertical bulge.
This is the screenshot of the entire vector label that was printed and used on the photograph above. The label overlaps itself by only a several militers for gluing.
So how do I go about wrapping this vector around the photographed bottle in order for it to match?
I've already tried freestyling with Transform > Warp in PS - but its painstakingly hit or miss. I thought about mapping the vector label around a 3D cylinder of the same diamter of the photographed bottle and placing it over the bottle in PS. Any other suggestions?
In the future, would taping a grid onto my bottle then photographing and aligning a digital version of the same grid & label be the best workflow? Such as shown in this tutorial
Thanks!

Hi,
In the Layers panel of the 3D layer, you can revel the layer effects (which also has 3D texture maps) by clicking on the triangle at the right. From here, double clicking the name of the texture will open it. Alternatively, you can open the various texture maps inside the 3D panel, by first choosing the material to edit then navigating into the pop-up menus of the properties area.
I see that I actually scaled your artwork beyond the bounds of the cylinder edges to quickly get the artwork centrally placed. It would be better to start with your AI artwork placed into a new document and generate a Cylinder from that layer.
Once you get that created, place it into your image document and using the 3D camera, change the zoom level to affect the perspective (I over zoomed to 300 mm) while at the same time walking the camera back to keep it in frame. Once you have the perspective looking close, use the 3D axis widget with the cylindar mesh selcted, to constrain scale the cylinder to fit your image.
Hopefully this helps. It would be much better to see an animated walk thru but I'm not really setup for that at the moment.
regards,
steve

How can i wrap a tag around content?

how can i wrap a tag around content? for example if i have a block of text, in previous versions of dw i could just select a block of text and click the p tag in the file menu and dw would put opening and closing tags. now in creative cloud version it puts the tags after the block of text. is there a setting to adjust this? thanks

if i have 10 list items is this the easiest way to wrap the li tags around them? before you could simple select the text and highlight it and click the li in the toolbar. thanks murray

Photoshop CC / 3D - Wrapping a graphic around a cylinder without repeating.

I'm trying to wrap a label around a 3D bottle by inserting the label as a diffuse texture. I am able to position and scale the label proportionately, however instead of wrapping around the bottle once, it's repeating twice. I've tried fooling with the UV Properties with no success. Can anyone tell me how to successfully wrap a graphic around a model once without repeating?

You know a lot more about 3D then I do. You wrote that you were wrapping you label around a cylinder. So that is what I did. I know nothing about how to use extrusions like you do. I have just played a little with Adobe preset meshes like the wine bottle, cylinder and sphere. Its easy to put label on cylinders or wrap the earth around a sphere or put a collage on a Christmas ball. That is what I did and I also created an opacity map.
View screen captures in new tabs ans scale to actual size.

Tips on wrapping my brain around using compression and expansion

I have audio of an event where unfortunately some people were standing too far form the mic at points so their audio is low. What i am trying to do is wrap my brain around the Dynamics Processor to raise the low bits up to peak at -3db and then if anything peaks, I'd like to lower it to about -3db also. I'd like to keep the dynamic range between only about -8 and -3. Can anyone give me a play by on how to go about using any of the plugins to accomplish this?

You could try the Speech Volume Leveler effect under the Amplitude and Compression menu. Some experimentation may be needed to find the best parameters.

Wrapping my head around PIVOT - Arggggg

Ok, I am stumped. What I want seems so simple to me....
======= Table Def
CREATE TABLE "TI" (
"SNUM" NUMBER,
"SYMBOL" VARCHAR2(30),
"OPEN" NUMBER(15, 5),
"LOW" NUMBER(15, 5),
"HIGH" NUMBER(15, 5),
"CLOSE" NUMBER(15, 5),
"ADJ_CLOSE" NUMBER(15, 5),
"VOLUME" NUMBER(15, 5),
"CHANGE_PCT" NUMBER(15, 5),
"CHANGE_AMT" NUMBER(15, 5),
"TIMESTAMP" TIMESTAMP(9) DEFAULT systimestamp ,
"TRADE_DATE" DATE,
"DATA_SOURCE" NUMBER)
============ data
insert into TI (6975 ,'VT', 48.2,48.11, 48.41,48.23,48.23,200500,.009,.43,'01-JAN-11','08.32.57.366984000 PM','03-JAN-11',2)
insert into TI (6995,' AGG',105.4,105.3,105.68,105.63,105.63,739700,-.00113,-.12,'31-JAN-11 08.33.18.137327000 PM','03-JAN-11',2)

So as you can see these are all on the same date. We currently collect three indices every day, but a user with the click of a mouse could add another or take one away.
What I am trying to do is get output gives a date and the indices contained in a given day and their adj_close as a single return value from a query.
I have spent the day trying to wrap my head around PIVOT or LISTAGG but just can't seem to get a grasp of the damn thing. All the examples I have seen incluse sums and such and I need, nor in fact do I want anything summed. This would seem to come down to grouping by the trade_date and that where something is just not making sense.
More then an answer ( although an answer would be very helpful :) ) It would be great if someone could simply lay out how this is supposed to work. Uhm did I say an answer would be helpful <big cheesy smile >
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements. Please test any code before you post it; there seem to be a lot of mistakes in those 4 statements. Don't forget to post the results you want from the sample data, and your version of Oracle.
One thing that is common to all forms of pivoting or string aggregation is that you need to know, for each row of input, to which row and which column(s) (or position(s)) of output it corresponds. Sometimes one or both of these are already in the data, but sometimes they have to be derived from the data. I'll assume you have one of each: that trade_date indicates the output row, and that the column you called timestamp (but which I'll call tmstmp, since timestamp isn't a good column name) can be used to tell the output position: the earliestt tmstmp goes on the left, the 2nd lowest tmstmp goes next, the 3rd lowest tmptmp goes next, and so on. We can use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function to assing consectuive numbers (1 for lowest, 2 for 2nd lowest, 3 for 3rd lowest, and so on) to the different tmstmps for each trade_date. I'll assume you don't know how many of these there will be on any given trade_date, and there may be different numbers of them on different trade_dates in the same output. I'll assume you're using Oracle 10.
If you have an unknown number of items, then string aggregation (concatenating all the values into one big sting column) is a lot easier and more robust than pivoting, so let's do it that way.
Here's one way to do string aggregation:
WITH     got_c_num     AS
     SELECT     adj_close
     ,     trade_date
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY trade_date
                         ORDER BY        tmstmp
                       )     AS c_num
     FROM     ti
--     WHERE     ...     -- if you need any filtering, put it here
SELECT       trade_date
,       REPLACE ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH ( TO_CHAR (adj_close, '999990.000')
            )          AS indices
FROM       got_c_num
WHERE       CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
START WITH     c_num          = 1
CONNECT BY     c_num          = PRIOR c_num + 1
     AND     trade_date     = PRIOR trade_date
ORDER BY trade_date
;Output from your sample data:
TRADE_DAT INDICES
03-JAN-11       48.230     105.630     127.050CONNECT BY is used for parent-child realtionships of variable length within one table. Here, we have assigned c_num to be 1 for the first input row for each trade_date, 2 for the next, and so on. In the CONNECT BY uery above, we're saying that every parent-child-grandchild-... chain will start with a row numbered c_num=1, and that a row will be considered the child of another row if its c_num is 1 higher, and their trade_dates are the same. (That's what the START WITH and CONNECT BY clauses are doing.)
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH gives a delimited list of items, starting from the root (the item with no parent, c_num=1) and showing the lineage down to each item in the original table that is descendedd from some root. That means we get 3 rows of output in this case: one showing just c_num=1, another with that same c_num=1 and c_num=2. and finally one with all 3 c_nums. We're only interested in the last one, the onme with no child, so the WHERE clause discards the others.
By using TO_CHAR in SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH, we get items that are padded to the same length. That way, when they are displayed, they will appear to line up in neat columns. SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH reuires that you delimit the output items with some string that cannot possibly occur in the items themselves. I chose '/', but, since we don't want to see those '/'s, I used REPLACE to get rid of them once we were finished doing the SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH.

Wrapping a Torus around a Sphere.

Hi,
I have created a Sphere & have successfully wrapped an image around it. I am now in the Process of trying to add Latitudes and Longitudes to it. To achieve this i have also drawn a Torus ( Circle )....
Will appreciate if someone can elaborate as to how i can now render the Torus over my Wrapped Sphere so that i can emulate / draw Latitudes & longitudes over it....
Thanks heaps.
Krish.

The part that baffles me is that it renders fine in a browser. Seems very strange that it won't render correctly in a mobile device.
whats baffling about this? your comparing oranges to apples and expecting them all to taste like bananas!
it seems perfectly logical to me that if you cannot get something to look the same across the board in web browsers (ie6 for instance) (and thats looking at the same resolution) that it WILL render differently in the myriad of phone based browsers, all at different sizes, different levels of css/html compatability. clearly this is obvious.

How to create unique shapes in Illustrator CS4

First off....
I am new to the Adobe suite of applications and also new to owning a Macbook Pro. I have been using a design program for Windows for many years.
I would like to master the creation and manipulation of shapes using Illustrator CS4.
As one example, how would I create the following:
I want to end up with a shape that is similar to one-quarter of a full moon.
Using my Windows program (not an Adobe product), I would create a line using a line tool, and then I would be able to convert that line to a curve using a shape tool, which would enable me to drag from the midpoint of the line and have it become an arc. Then, while still using the shape tool, I could click once to select one of the endpoint nodes to then click on an "auto-close" option which would add a straight-line edge to close the shape for outline and fill purposes (so one side of the shape is straight at this point and the other side is curved). Using the shape tool, I would double-click near the midpoint of the straight edge to add a new node to the shape, and then I would use the "convert to curve" option from within the shape tool to be able to drag this straight side towards the curved side to end up with the quarter-moon shape as desired.
How would I make this sort of shape using Illustrator, and as a general question for learning, how can I learn all about how to put lines in the design space for purposes of joining these lines, curving any part of one or more lines and then filling or outlining the finished shape made from joined lines?

> and as a general question for learning, how can I learn all about how to put lines in the design space for purposes of joining these lines, curving any part of one or more lines and then filling or outlining the finished shape made from joined lines?
Well, you can read the documentation. That will be much more thorough and methodical than asking a random series of "how do I..." questions in a user forum. And it will take you
a lot less time.
> Using my Windows program (not an Adobe product)
You can say the name. If there's actually anyone here who doesn't know other drawing programs exist, well, they
need to. Your description sounds like Xara Xtreme.
> I want to end up with a shape that is similar to one-quarter of a full moon..create a line...convert that line to a curve...drag from the midpoint of the line and have it become an arc...select one of the endpoint nodes... "auto-close"...double-click near the midpoint of the straight edge to add a new node..."convert to curve"...drag...
A similar procedure could be used in just about any vector drawing program that draws cubic Bezier curves. A much quicker procedure could also be used in just about any program, by leveraging the geometric shape tools and path combination commands that are just as ubiquitous:
1. Draw a circle.
2. Duplicate the circle.
3. Overlap the circles partially.
4. Use one circle to "punch" the other, leaving the difference (the crescent shape).
Here are two AI-specific differences I note in your description:
Illustrator can't bend a straght segment by dragging its middle if the straight segment has both its associated curve handles retracted. Dragging such a segment in AI just moves the segment (and its associated anchorPoints).
Illustrator displays fills on open paths. There is no option to turn off that often unwanted behavior.
Again, read the manual (the online Help files). It will take you decades to learn the program by asking random questions on the basic use of the tools, location of commands, organization (well, disorganization) scheme of the program, etc., etc.

Copy/paste shapes from Illustrator also brings in a black background. Why?

When you copy/paste a shape from Illustrator into Muse, it also brings in a black background. Why does this happen and how do we delete it?
Thanks!

It's a bounding box when you copy Vector from Ai and paste it into Muse the file gets converted to a Raster image.
you should copy the vector shape into Photoshop and scale to the size you need then export it. (Still Raster)
But you can also Export it as .swf and import that into muse and it scales nicely looks good in preview even after you resize the shape... (No bounding box)
Hope this helps

Create a funnel shape in Illustrator CS6?

Hello I am trying to create a funnel shape in Illustrator that is divided up by levels. For example a funnel shape with six different levels. I have uploaded an example, when I have tried to use an image trace to get the basic shape the lines aren't sharp they are often bumpy and not straight. Anyone have tips or a how to create a sharp funnel image? Thanks a lot!
Miles

Half of the cross-section. Like this:
This was all done with filled shapes. If you want the inside to be all the same colour it would probably entail using stroked shapes.
