I never delete the pictures they just get moved to another folder and it breaks all the hot links to new links,

If you look at the site there is a Misc,Kings,Spurs, and a rackthemouse folder so if you, or anyone else is looking for an old pic? feel free to search page 5 or so. BTW do you need a sig? :wakeup

the reason i ask cause there is an eraser tool where you can clean up the edges and there is a tool that lets you clone the background so you can fill in the spots with the original background.

Re-Animator

Cs 2 is to complicated for me. I use the basic photo shop that kids use its real simple to use, The only time I use Cs2 is when i need the animation to stay running while I add text to the picture.

download this free for 30 days and you can make some sweet signatures...

heres with a small blur


how do you use the eraser tool without erasing the picture?

after you find the pic you want as the background don't use the add a pic, if you do then when you erase it you will see the black background, use the open icon and open the picture as a file. so the picture is the background, If you already have a background and you add the picture? then you will erase what you don't want to erase.

after you open your picture, then save it so it becomes locked as the back ground, Then you can paste the mans head on the background pic and when you erase the edges the original background will appear.

since you added both pics to the original black background the photo shop thinks you want to erase both pics.

Re-Animator
02-02-2007, 03:50 AM
I went a long time not using the eraser tool. then one day some guy at the rack the trolls forum told me my picture look like shit, he said what did you use to cut it with a chainsaw? I told him that was the best I could do, then he told me to use the eraser tool.

Then I would only erase all the time. In order to fill in the back ground i would try and match the color, or i would paste some of the background from another pic and try and erase what was not needed, My pics still looked cheesy, Then I was jacking with all the icons and I saw some clone tool and I found out that was the tool i had been needing all this time. the first click with the clone tool is what you want to duplicate, the second click with the clone tool is where you want to put the first click.

as you can see in this picture my first click was his eyes, the second click was his cheeks so it clones his eyes where his cheeks were.

all you need is to do is cut, paste, erase, and clone. and you can make any picture. It only takes 2 hours to really learn, I have 25 extra copies of easy basic photo shop that they stopped selling in 1999 I got them all for a dollar each. I can mail them out to anyone who sends me a bubble mailer with your address on it. Or i can give them to Kori so she can give them out at the next gtg.

after about 3 hours of playing with this easy program you all can join in on the fun next time a photo shop topic comes around. :toast

Sorry for the delay but there is a mini photo shop war in another forum and I had already volunteered to participate in it.

ok the following are just rough ideas on what you might want, It's up to you to make the right combination, you may want the text of one with the animation of another. you may want smaller larger etc.... you can go to my site and visit each page to see anything that you like.

here are the first examples.

I actually did the animation in After effects. If you have it I'll send you that file as well. Anyway the PS file is in layers so you can overlay your anim of his name over my anim of the cape.

Hey Slomo I have a question. That Cool 3D comes with limited video back grounds I want to use my own background so I can still use the Cool3D programs. Like if I copy your GIF and want to add fire or lightning it does not recognize the format.

The files my program uses are UCD files for motion type backgrounds like this.

Is there a way to convert my AVI and GIF files to the UCD format and do you think the program will allow any type of modifications?

The video backgrounds seem to be standard AVI files like this.

I am thinking maybe I can somehow shove in my shit in the program? or am I going in an area I need not go?

Thanks :wakeup

I don't know the UCD file format. I looked at my programs and couldn't find the .ucd file extension as an option for import or export. Anyway After effects in combination with image ready can generate pretty much any standard file format and most video formats. So if you would like my animation as an avi it wouldn't be a problem.

Are you able to open after effects files (.aep)?

Any decent program should allow you to put your own stuff as the background.

I guess it means you have to use their format, maybe many programs use that so you can't take the animations in games like Quake and use them for your Avatar etc...

UCD File Format

Read_UCD module

A UCD data structure consists of an irregular coordinate structure (or “model) made up of cells. Cells may be points, lines, quadrilaterals, triangles, tetrahedrons, pyramids, prisms, or hexahedrons. Each cell has a corresponding number of nodes. Data can be associated with the entire structure, with each cell, and with each node. The data is structured as a set of components. Each component can be either a scalar or a vector. Unstructured Cell Data is commonly used in structural analysis and computational fluid dynamics.



Using the read UCD module

The read UCD module reads an AVS-compatible UCD structure from a file. The file must have a .inp suffix or it will not be displayed in read ucd’s file browser. The file may be ASCII or binary.



UCD File Format

ASCII UCD File Format

The input file cannot contain blank lines or lines with leading blanks. Comments, if present, must precede all data in the file. Comments within the data will cause read errors. The general order of the data is as follows



1. Numbers defining the overall structure, including the number of nodes, the number of cells, and the length of the vector of data associated with the nodes, cells, and the model.



2. For each node, its node*id and the coordinates of that node in space. Node*ids must be integers, but any number including non*sequential numbers can be used. Mid*edge nodes are treated like
any other node.



3. For each cell: its cell*id, material, cell type (hexahedral, pyramid, etc.), and the list of node*ids that correspond to each of the cell's vertices. The below table specifies the different cell types and the keyword used to represent them in the file.



Line line

Triangle tri

Quadrilateral quad

Hexahedron hex

Prism prism

Tetrahedron tet

Pyramid pyr

Point pt



Note :



The read ucd module only accepts integer node-ids and cell-ids. The ids do not have to be consecutively numbered. At present, model based data of UCD module is not implemented and number of model data (num-mdata) will be “0”. The material_id defines subsets of cell sets that one can use. If material_id for all cell_sets = 0 then ignored by the reader. It is safe to leave material_id = 0, if you don’t know what it means.



4. Node based data descriptions, if present, the data vector associated with nodes, how many components that vector is divided into (e.g., a vector of 5 floating point numbers may be treated as 3 components: a scalar, a vector of 3, and another scalar, which would be specified as 3 1 3 1).



5. For each node data component in a separate line, a component label/unit label pair, separated by a comma.


6. For each node in a separate line, the vector of data values associated with it. This is the end of node definitions.


7.Cell*based data descriptions, if present, then follow in the same order and format as items 4, 5, and 6.







So this is how the ASCII UCD file will look like.

Example ASCII UCD File

The following is an example of a simple UCD file. This UCD structure has 8 nodes in 1 hexahedral cell. Associated with each node is a single scalar data value, making up one component that this person labels "stress," and specifies a "lb/in**2" unit label. There is no cell data.

Binary UCD File Format



The following describes the binary format for the UCD data files. The order in which the UCD information is different from the ASCII UCD. The general order of the binary data is as follows. The Binary UCD file format describing each consecutive chunk of bytes is described in the next page.



1. Magic Number , number of nodes, number of cells, number of node data, number of cell data, number of model data. The magic number is the ASCII character BEL whose decimal value is 7. The number of node data is zero if no node data is present. Similarly the number of cell data is zero if no cell data is present.

2. Number of nlist nodes. This is equal to the product of the number of cells in each cell set and

the number of nodes present in each cell set. This is for cell topology.

3. Cell information for each cell. The cell information contains cell_id, material_id, number of nodes , cell_ty



· Cell id must be integers.

· The material_id defines subsets of cell sets that one can use. If material_id for all cell_sets = 0 then ignored by the reader. It is safe to leave material_id = 0, if you don’t know what it means.

Number of nodes is equal to number of nodes in that cell.

Cell_type should be one of the integer specified below depending on the cell structure.



Line 1

Triangle 2

Quadrilateral 3

Tetrahedron 4

Pyramid 5

Prism 6

Hexahedron 7



4. x coordinates for nodes .y coordinates for nodes. z coordinates for nodes in an interleaved fashion. If there are n nodes, then X0, X1, X2 ….X N, Y0, Y1, Y2, ….Y N, Z0,Z1, Z2,…..Z N



5. If there is node data :

node data labels. Each node data label should be separated with a ‘.’ Character. The total length of the node data labels cannot exceed 1024 bytes and the 1024th byte should be a ‘0’ character.



node data units. Each node data unit should be separated with a ‘.’ character. The total length of the node data labels cannot exceed 1024 bytes and the 1024th byte should be a ‘0’ character



number of node components. This is the total number of components the node data contains.



Note : The node can contain multiple components and each component may contain a scalar (veclen = 1) or a vector (veclen >1). The number of node data is equal to sum of these scalars and vectors, whereas the number of node components is equal to just the number of components in each node.



Node component list . This is the total number of vectors and scalars a component may have. for each component.



Minimums for node data The is the minimums for each component. Express does not compute minimums using the node data nor provide default values in binary format. The minimums are set directly using the values provided from the file.



Maximums for node data The is the maximums for each component. Express does not compute maximums using the node data nor provide default values in binary format. The maximums are set directly using the values provided from the file.



Node data The number of node data is the product of the number of nodes and number of node data.



Node Active List. This has no meaning with AVS/Express but it is not redundant since the UCD reader of AVS/Express reads the data so num_cell_data number of zeros (ints) could be read.

Note: Node active list can be omitted if only either node data or cell data is present in UDC data file.

.

6. Cell*based data descriptions, if present, then follow in the same order and format as described in item 5.

Note :

At present, model based data of UCD module is not implemented and number of model data (num-mdata) will be “0”.



The BINARY UCD file format describing each consecutive chunk of bytes is as follows.



1 byte - magic number. This should be 7.



4 bytes - number of nodes. ( int )



4 bytes - number of cells. ( int )



4 bytes - number of node data. ( int )



4 bytes - number of cell data ( int )



4 bytes - number of model data ( int ) ( “0”)



4 bytes - number of nlist nodes (for cell topology) ( int )



(num_cells*16) bytes - cell information. ( 4 ints per cell :

id, material id, number of nodes, cell type).



(num_nlist_nodes*4) bytes - cell topology lists. ( ints )



(num_nodes*4) bytes - x coordinates for nodes. (floats)

(num_nodes*4) bytes - y coordinates for nodes. (floats)

(num_nodes*4) bytes - z coordinates for nodes. (floats)



If there is node data :

1024 bytes - node data labels. (string)



1024 bytes - node data units. (string)



4 bytes - number of node components. ( int )



(num_node_data*4) bytes - node component list. ( ints )



(num_node_data*4) bytes - minimums for node data. ( floats ).



(num_node_data*4) bytes - maximums for node data. ( floats ).



(num_nodes*num_node_data*4) bytes - node data. (floats).



(num_node_data*4) bytes - node data. (floats)



If there is cell data :

1024 bytes - cell data labels. (string)



1024 bytes - cell data units. (string)



4 bytes - number of cell components. ( int )



(num_cell_data*4) bytes - cell component list. ( ints )



(num_cell_data*4) bytes - minimums for cell data. ( floats ).



(num_cell_data*4) bytes - maximums for cell data. ( floats ).



(num_cells*num_cell_data*4) bytes - cell data. (floats).



(num_cell_data*4) bytes - cell active list (ints)

hey Slomo I have this Movie file that will play with VLC player but My DVD burning software does not reconize it. Are some movies just meant to play on VLC?

Does it have something to do with them being from another country and our software do not mate as well? You ever notice that when trying to view a file from a person that lives like in the USSR?

He just doesn't like to enter any contests. I tried to get him to sign up for photoshopcontest.com for years now. The last banner/sig contest he backed down and he did not make any pictures for your competition either.

It might have something to do with how it conflicts with his KGB duties.

Hey Slomo I was able to take some old DVDs I had liying around and I saved them to HD then I played them back using my TV card and I captured some frames. then I sent the frames through my GIF maker and hosted them on photobucket. (2Mbs only) :(

The good news is, I can now make anyone a banner using DVD movies and shows from TV, The bad news is, by the time I am done the picture is real grainy, Is there anything I can do to sharpen it up?

What I don't get is that cheesy MJ clip is almost 2MBs and that's as high as i can go on photoBucket but I have another animation that is much longer and when I send it trough 3D studio to make a GIF it fits on the photobucket account.

Should I make the MJ file an AVI and send it through 3D studio also? Or is PhotoBucket letting me slide past the 2MBs?

why would the MJ clip be almost 2MBs when this one is twice as long and is only 174.00 KBs?

Slomo last question for the day..................

Look at this screen you see the choices I get for AVI files, what one do you recommend and why? Thanks
