What is the output of Maya and how does Java use it in animation.

What type of software is used and what input and output files are created in the animation process?
From what I read:
Maya is used to create polygon structures, perform rigging, and it attaches surface textures which are made in Photoshop. Then Maya creates key images or positions of the animation. Next Maya exports an image and a data file to do the neccessary transformations. Finally, Java uses the image and the data file to paint the images and their position based on the game logic's use of the data file.
What have I missed or described wrong?
I also need more clarity on the input files to Java and how Java stores and uses these files. The use of Maya images and files seems different. Is Maya or Java doing the transformations or are they both doing them? How does this work?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.

  • What is the point of tags, and how does one use them?

    I am completely mystified by tags. This is a new feature that is supposed to be wonderful and helpful, and some people have hailed them as a major improvement. However, I can't see what they are good for.
    If you put a tag on a file, it is added to the beginning of the filename in Finder, thus shortening the portion that is visible, which potentially makes it harder to identify the file. If you are thinking of telling me to abandon icon view in the Finder, forget it.
    Tags have to be added manually. How does that work if you have more than 24 files? I have about 3,000.
    It seems that you'd have to come up iwth a categorization scheme for alll the files on your disk. Ccmbine that with tagging them manually, won't that take a huge amount of t ime?
    What added benefit do tags give the user?
    We used to be able to add metadata to files with CMD+I. Now we can only add tags. Is this progress or regress and why?
    Incidentally, I am over 12 years of age.

  • What are the benefits of Yosemite, and how do I use them?

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac.  I can see it looks different, but I don't know what the benefits are or how to access them.  I only upgraded because I have been told that I should use the newest version of software, as that is what is being maintained and improved.  Is there a site or a document somewhere that will describe the changes in Yosemite, and how to utilize them to the best advantage?

    The easiest graphical way I would recommend is to search for an example "whats new in yosemite" on youtube, I am sure you will find lots of videos on that.

  • What's the FPGA step size and how to calculate it?

    Hi there,
    I inherited an vi with problem in it. It's basically reading the binary file then display it. So the vi reads the binary file by using Read From Binary File, the output data from this function then sends to FPGA after multiply a number (32767/10). But unfortunately I got a wrong output. The final output value for some reasons looks got attenuated. People told me maybe it's related to the FPGA step size, so I want to know what is the FPGA step size and how to calculate it. Can someone answer my questions here?
    Thanks in advanced!!!

    Hi Weny,
    It sounds like you are trying to find out the output resolution of your FPGA module.  It would be helpful if you provided what FPGA module you are using in your tests so we know what information to provide.  For instance, the R Series Manual provides information on how to calculate the required DAC output code to generate the desired output voltage.  You should also try to keep the accuracy of your device in mind.  The analog output signal you are generating will be subject to gain, offset, and noise errors.  You can use the specifications sheet (such as the R Series Specifications) of your device to determine what accuracy your board will have.  The specs also provide information on the resolution of the board.  You can search ni.com for the manual and specifications for your particular device if you are not using R Series.

    >>In SAP XI / PI, WS adapter is not thier frm standard SAP.
    Are you sure about this?
    WS is a standard adapter shipped along with PI 7.1 installation.

    Using the WS adapter you can configure the communication of systems, which communicate with each other using the Web service runtime either directly (point-to-point) or using the Integration Server

  • What is the Weigh Bridge System and How to Implement

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement from a client to interface with Weigh Bridge systen and to generate the delivery order record.
    Could someone explain to me what is the Weigh Bridge system and how it is being implemented in SAP.
    Thank you!
    Regards,
    Yvonne

    Hi,
    this is to inform you that,
    this weigh bridge concept is very simple its an interface with other or software which the company which is implementing SAP.
    for EG:
    my company is cement company in production plant you will be getting raw materials in tons and out going finished products will also be in tons.
    in that plant there is weigh bridge where in flow of materials will be wieghed and if it matches to the paper which is getting along with then he ticks OK other wise NOT.
    the above case applies to out going of goods in tons also.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your help and providing this link. I'd actually already looked at that before, but I don't understand how it clarifies what the default identity store is. The relevant part is this, if I understand correctly:
    OPSS initializes the identity store service with the LDAP authenticator chosen from the list of configured LDAP authenticators according to the following algorithm:
    1.    Consider the subset of LDAP authenticators configured. Note that, since the context is assumed to contain at least one LDAP authenticator, this subset is not empty.
    2.    Within that subset, consider those that have set the maximum flag. The flag ordering used to compute this subset is the following:
        REQUIRED > REQUISITE > SUFFICIENT > OPTIONAL
        Again, this subset (of LDAPs realizing the maximum flag) is not empty.
    3.    Within that subset, consider the first configured in the context.Step (1) will match 2 external AD's and the built-in WLS LDAP, so 3 in total.
    Step (2) will still match 3 in total, as they are all 'sufficient'. In my setup, I need them all to be 'sufficient'.
    Step (3) is a step I don't understand. What is "the first configured in the context"? What context? Do they mean the one that was first created? In that case I can't change the default, right?
    Or do they mean "the first in the list on the WLS Console"?
    Best regards,

  • What is an ISO Image? and how do I use bootcamp?

    What is an ISO Image? and how do I use Bootcamp

    Heya!
    An .ISO image is a well, form of image file. :3
    If you want to change it to a .img/.dmg (Which are, essentially, the same file) you can use this Terminal command:
    hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/original.iso
    OSX tends to chuck a .dmg on the end after conversion, just get rid of it if you don't want it. Apple's Bootcamp FAQ should help you using bootcamp, but I'm not sure if OSX 10 has bootcamp. You can always try searching for it.
    Tell us what happens!

    how does the iTune icon present itself onto the dock. ?
    And how does it play without being requested ?

    1. The SCB-68 is just a terminal block; it does not measure anything. The measurement is made on the board connected to the SCB-68.
    2. Computer-based data acquisistion devices and 480 V motors with solid state speed controls do not "play nice," as the kids say. The connections you are trying to make may well end up with a fried data acquisition board, fried computer, and MOST IMPORTANTLY a fried USER!
    Ground loop problems may produce noisy measurements or may destroy all the low current devices (like the computer) in the system.
    Signal conditioners are not only to reduce noise but also to provide safe isolation between the high voltage and high power parts of the system and the more sensitive parts.
    A thermocouple is a voltage generating device. The measurement system measures that voltage (typically millivolts) and independently measures the temperature of the "cold junction" of the thermocouple. The temperature at the hot junction of the thermocouple is calculated as Temperature(TC voltage difference) - Temperature(cold junction). If currents flow through the TC wires, due to ground potential differences between the motor frame and the computer ground for example, the voltage drop from Ohm's law is added to the TC voltage and will produce temperature errors. TC wire may have significantly higher resistance than wires used for most elelctrical signals so the interfering signal may be greater than the desired signal.

  • What's the difference between "overloading" and "overriding" in Java

    What's the difference between "overloading" and "overriding" in Java

    hashdata wrote:
    What is the real-time usage of these concepts...?Overriding is used when two classes react differently to the same method call. A good example is toString(). For Object it just returns the class name and the identityHashCode, for String it returns the String itself and for a List it (usually) returns a String representation of the content of the list.
    Overloading is used when similar functionality is provided for different arguments. A good example is [Arrays.sort()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#sort(byte%5B%5D)]: all the sort() methods do the same thing (they sort arrays), but one sorts byte-arrays, another one sorts int-arrays, yet another one sorts Object-arrays.
    By the way, you almost certainly mean "real-world" usage. "real-time" (and thus "real-time usage) means something entirely unrelated to your question.

  • What is the Other yellow stuff - and how do I get rid of it?

    I have .18 audio, .02 photos, .01 apps and .21 OTHER? I dont know what that is or how to get rid of it. I saw where some responses said to go to the back or restore factory settings. My question is on what and how? I am very computer illiterate and getting frustrated! Now it is not much, but I don't want it to cause a problem down the road. Also, if my itouch is a 8G, why does it show only 6.5 GB as the capacity? Thanks for any help!!

    To reduce "other" sometimes a restore from backup works but many times a restore to factory defaults is required. I would not be concerned until ti gets to 1 GB though.
    The difference between the 8 GB iPod total capacity/storage capacity and 6.5 is due to the iOS taking up some of that difference by a lot of it is du to the difference of how BG is calculated. See:
