Textures and file formats

Now I have a silly questions,
I'm testing the try out, to make sure this is the software I want to publish my models with. I would like to create a 3D PDF from a textured 3D model that I created in Maya.
The DXF exported from Maya show an error " there is no displayable object".
I exported the model in obj ans in wrl, but the paths to the textured are apperently not loaded in Acrobat3D.
Do I really have to reassign each texture to its object in the 3D Toolkit. Is there another file format that I can use in which the paths to the textures are saved?
I have 3dsMax, so the only solution I found is to go from Maya to 3ds and then export an .ase . But it seems quite ridiculous.
I figure there is a way to do this directly. I am sorry for the stupidity of my question and thanks for your help,
Steph

I was told that, if you're using an OpenGL graphics card in OpenGL mode, a 3D capture from inside your application to the 3D Toolkit would capture both model and textures but I've yet to try it myself. Hope this helps. Iam

Writing Import and FIle Format Plug-Ins for Photoshop CS1

Hi All,
I have written two plug-ins (Import and File Format) which work fine using CS2. Unfortunately we need to be able to have them work in CS1 too. I downed the "Adobe Photoshop CS SDK" but when when I looked at the API document ("Photoshop API Guide.pdf"), chapters 6 and 9 are missing and there is no sample code for these plug-in types.
Could anyone explain why this is?
How do I write these types of plug-in's for CS1?
Thanks for your Help
All the Best
Dave

I have published
GPL source code to many plugins all of which are compatible with Photoshop 3.0 through CS2, on Windows and Mac. Unless you are using CS2 specific features, the your Import and Format DLLs should already work with CS on Windows.
On the Mac, the executable format changed between CS and CS2, and you would need to build a PEF plugin for CS. MPW and CodeWarrior can do that; Xcode cannot.

Type of adapter and file format

which will be the right adapter to use in XI
which will be the right file format to be taken form   e-commerce
Scenario:-
1.      A buyer is created in the SAP system.
2.      The newly created customer or buyer in SAP is synchronized with Web Sphere Commerce using the SAP XI
3.      The registered customer logs on to the Web Sphere Commerce store.
4.      The buyer browses the catalog.
5.      The buyer selects a product from the catalog. The inventory check service is called on the SAP system.
6.      The buyer adds an item to the shopping cart. An inventory check is done.
7.      The buyer submits the order for purchase. An inventory check is done.
8.      The order is transferred to the SAP system through SAP XI for further processing.
9.      The order confirmation status information is sent to WebSphere Commerce.
10. The invoice is issued from the SAP system and the invoice status is sent to WebSphere Commerce.
11. The items are shipped and the shipping status is sent to WebSphere Commerce. The buyer can check the order status from the WebSphere Commerce store.

For points 1 and 2 you may create a new async scenario in XI with Abap proxy/ RFC/ IDoc (as per availability and ease of implementation) as sender and http at receiver.
For rest of the cases, you may create http to abap proxy sync scenario. The inventory check could be done using RFC lookup at the mapping step.

Prateek

How do I get Import and File Format Documentation

I requested access to the CS2 SDK spcifically requesting that I wanted to create an Import or File Format plug-in but the documentation and the sample code is missing for those kinds plug-in types. Where can I find the documentation that I need to develop these plug-ins? Thanks. Rich

You'll have to request that separately (or again). Contact your ASN rep and tell him/her that you need access to Format and Import info. You should be sent (pending approval) the "Advanced SDK" via e-mail.

Best Sequence Preset and File Format for Editing HD?

I'm using Premiere CS4 and I'm starting a new project that was shot in HD. I'm dealing with multiple file formats, as several different types of HD cameras were used. This is for a feature documentary, so I need a balance between maintaining image quality while sticking with a format that my machine can handle smoothly. Two questions:
1. Which HD preset should I commit to for the project (DVCProHD, XDCAM, etc.)?
2. I want to keep things nice and tidy and convert all of my footage to the same file type. I've found that Premiere works best with AVI files, but I'd like some input on what file format and codec you recommend. I took a stab at converting some files to Microsoft AVI format using the V210 10bit YUV codec, but the file sizes are huge and my system (quad-core processor w/ 12 gigs of RAM) still can't handle smooth playback with them.
Recommendations? I'm open to purchasing a plugin, 2nd-party file converter, etc. if necessary.
Thanks,
Mike

I would be inclined to use a seq that matches the most prevelent source video you have.
If you decide to convert everything to one format; both P2 and XDCAM formats are a pretty good balance of file size vs quality IMHO. (both edit very smoothly)

MuVo V 100 media explorer and file format

I usally use MuVo media explorer for ripping CD's for my MuVo V 00 2 GB player. Lately I have been having a strange problem, I don't seem able to change the file format to mp3, only wma is available. Why, and how do I change this?

iPods won't play WMA. MP3 is the common format.
For quality I would suggest LAME encoded MP3s, at a minimum bit-rate of 92 kbit/s.

Bank File and File Formats

When sending ach file to bank after it gets placed on application server (what is application server transaction code) a direct interface or not? If not what is a direct interface?
What is flat file and xml file. Please tell the difference with example??
What are various file formats sap supports for importing ebs in sap? What information should be requested from bank?

Hi Sheena,
1. Outbound files - You can create a ACH file in any format you want. SAP support text file, IDOC.
After you run your payment program - F110 - the last step is to create the payment medium. When you run this payment medium program it creates the file in a specific format as per your configuration. This file can be stored in your hard drive (C:) or in the SAP server based on the path given by you in the variant.
You can use T-code FDTA to view the file.
If it gets stored in C: you can just go to the directory and double click the file.
If it is stored in SAP server you can use transaction AL11 to view the file.
2. Inbound file - The electronic bank statements come in various formats. The most common formats are BAI in US, Multicash in Germany, MT940 in Europe. Each format has been defined separately, you can go to Googe and search for details about these format.
SAP has standard program which read these formats and post them to your General Ledger.
If you have more questions, please post them and I would try to answer.

3D annotations and File format Conversion

I am writing a plug-in for Acrobat Extended Pro that will export embedded 3D files in other formats. I only have access to a U3D converter right now but Acrobat saves some files in their PRC format. Is there some way to have Acrobat convert PRC files into U3D?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I've figured everything out. The problem I was having was because I was using fwrite() in text mode instead of binary mode. :p
For anyone reading this later, this is how you convert from PRC -> U3D and back:
1) load the Acrobat 3D Dll (A3DLIB.dll) and do all of the initializations.
2) Then, load the PRC file with the function A3DAsmModelFileLoadFromFile().
3) Then take the model structure you get back and pass it to A3DAsmModelFileWriteToFile(). The A3DAsmModelFileWriteParametersData * parameter will contain the format specifier.
You can save these files as either PRC, U3D version 1 or U3D version 3.

VO and file format

Hello all,
I've had a Mac for about a month now and I've been using it pretty much for video editing. I use a Sony HDR-SR11 and have filmed primarily in HD. My two questions are: 1. When I import video from my camera to iMovie, what format is it? 2. If I have footage of someone talking and want to use just the person's voice in a voice over is that possible?

1. When I import video from my camera to iMovie, what format is it?
I believe all HD content (HDV or AVCHD) are now converted to AIC/AIFF in an MOV file container. SD HDD and DVD content are converted to all I-frame MPEG-2 video and AIFF audio embedded with start/stop offsets (to reduce audio drift) in an MOV file container.
2. If I have footage of someone talking and want to use just the person's voice in a voice over is that possible?
If the clip is imported to an iMovie/iPhoto Event, then iMovie '08 can extract and "pin" the audio to AV content already in the project. If not, then it can be externally extracted/converted/imported as a separate audio clip and and used in the same manner as any other audio file. It would not, however, technically be the same as a true voiceover recorded in either iMovie or GarageBand from a mic.

Scan and file format converting

Hello all,
I was given a challenge to find a way to scan documents (in PDF or JPG) from office's copy machine, then save them in a library and from that point, the user should be able to do the following:
a. Crop the image
b. Resize the image
c. Convert PDF, JPG, BMP and TIFF, between these formats
d. Merge images to one PDF file
e. Split PDF pages to images
Is there any ready 3rd party solution, or someone guide me how should I provide such solution, if possible? We would like to avoid outside the SharePoint 2013 solution.

The cropping and resizing is probably better done on the scanner, and a lot of third party systems will allow you to do that. They also interface with SharePoint, including metadata etc.
Likewise, merging and splitting of documents may also be better done outside of SharePoint unless you're prepared to use custom code as these aren't standard functionality in SharePoint.
I'd take a look at Kofax (http://www.kofax.com/) as they may have the functionality you require.. (Fujitsu and Canon also have specific software for their owner Multi purpose machines, so I would speak to your hardware
provider for your scanner and ask what SharePoint integration options they offer.)
Paul.

Why when using the crop tool in Photoshop CS6 does it suddenly change the layer and file format?

I really need help with this. If I open a jpg in PS6 and crop it, the file transforms from a locked background layer to Layer 0 which is not locked. Then if I want to Save as a jpg I must flatten the layers as it is now a PSD file. SO frustrated! Anyone know what's going on?

Enable the Delete Cropped Pixels in the crop tool options up top—this is the phrasing in my PS-CC. I assume PS-CS6 has a similar crop tool option.
If you don’t delete the cropped pixels, they are just hidden, then a layer needs to be created to hold the hidden pixels.

What is the best size and file format for displaying photos quickly

I have a ton of high res files I want to move to an ipad two. I figure iphoto would be the easiest software to use. However what size should I make the files so they are sharp on the screen and load super fast?

Like I say, it doesn't matter. Import a 26 mb file to iphoto. Import a 2 mb one. Sync with the iPad. The image on the iPad will be about the same.

Minidv import and file format

I imported a minidv tape from camcorder. In the finder I see the files are .mov. Should they be .dv? What's the best way to maintain original quality?
on the clip info it says under codec: DV/DVCPRO-NTSC , Linear PCM..
Note: Earlier today I imported another clip and that one shows also as .mov but under codec info it shows H.264. I guess I changed the settings (mayby transcoded at import).
Anyway, I really only want to do this once and the top priority is retaining best possible quality. I don't care if it takes up a lot of space. Happy to get another drive.
Finally, you guys keep all the events on a separate external drive? That seems reasonable to me. How about the projects? I'm not sure if they take up a lot of disc space as well. I was under the impression projects do not.
Thanks

Great!
Thank you!
I already have some events and projects on the internal HDD. If I want to move it ALL to the external HDD is it still recommended to do that within FCP X (ather than moving the folders through the finder).
Also, if I import a lot of DV tapes (in full) is there any reason to also archive it for future needs. Seems that''s just a duplicate.
Finally, I am more familiar with iMovie 11 which really has all the editing capability I will need for my family videos. However, I'm trying out FCP X because of quality issues with minidv import in iMovie 11. I know this may seem strange to some, but is there a way to import minidv tapes to FCP X (o get the higher quality)and then work with those .mov files in the more familiar iMovie 11 or will I experience the same quality issues?

Quicktime and File Format Problems

I just got a new MacBook Pro and i have tried downloading the Quicktime for it but every time i do it says "Quicktime cannot be downloaded on this disk. The software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OS X" The thing is i downloaded the new Leopard software and looked at my "Macintosh" file and it says it has the 10.6 version. I dont understand what I'm doing wrong. And i have already made sure countless times that I am downloading the right version of the Quicktime. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Also when i take a picture on photobooth it wont let me upload it to MySpace or Facebook or anything. HELP!!!

The upload/PhotoBooth problem? Don't know, don't use it.
However, if you can explain what you are doing and what
is happening we may be able to work it out.
"it won't let me upload" doesn't really give any detail and it
is not possible to resolve problems without details.

About saving images and file formats

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7 fd9.html

. I was able to do, what I was unable to do in last 2 days.
I just wanted to point that, with iPhot 11, which I am using, iPhoto menu ->Preferences->General-> ,Edit Photos pulldown menu did not appear. This step #2, where selection of Photoshop Element had to to be done with use of "Advanced" menu.
Thank you for the help.
