  3. [3D Transformation] Need explanations about "Z position"

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Are you considering to introduce some kind of "Z zoom" correction parameter?

    This would make easy to compose correctly matching layered images by compensating

    the "Z pan" parameter with a negated (but equal in absolute value) "Z zoom",

    avoiding to try-and-correct with the zoom parameter to compensate the "Z Pan" zoom effect

    of an already perspective zoomed image part.

    I know this is complex to digest to most users, so if you decide not to introduce

    something like this, i think it would not kill me :)

    Greetings! Umberto

    P.S. And, if possible, try to fix the 180 degree rotation glitch! Maybe a flag.

    No need neither Zoom neither center function on Z axis because thick of 2D objects is 0. Now PTE is absolutely coherent.

    JPD the spread box is in the customise drop-shadow tools. You are correct in saying it does not create "child of a text" but it does solve the problem I faced when I first started this thread namely creating a rectangle which could be varied in opacity and resizes with the text.

    regards

    Thanks Geoff, I better understand. Sorry, it's not easy for me to write in english and to understand it.

    JPD see my post above for solution this done using V6 beta 20

    Geoff

    Could you explain using the PTE name of each window or function you use because I don't understand this sentence " Then in the spread box I dropped down the list and chose cove-shallow clicked OK and low and behold" and don't succed to put something as child of a text even rasterized.

  8. [3D Transformation] Need explanations about "Z position"

    I worked on this problem at least 8 days, two months ago, with a template made especially for that, I haven't asked anything to Igor on this subject because there aren't any solution available to solve this problem. Imagine two objects in Symetry which are on the same place Which of them is before?

    If you use PNG files with a part of transparency, how PTE can know the usefull part of the file. If we use the center function on a picture for instance, sort the files only on Zposition isn't a solution.

    With 2D objects I don't think there is a usefull solution, it's not at all the same thing that with 3D object where the datas about the solid are inside the file of a tool.

    I have made a test with a no convex solid with 60 objects which have a rotation of 360°, it need to copy 28 objects in background, that mean we have to put 112 keypoints for opacity, it's not so difficult to do. Of course if you change the size or the position of this solid you lose your work, but it would be the same thing, even with a sort on Zposition.

    For convex solid, the Show front / Show back function works perfectly. Thanks Igor for this very important feature.

    Here is the no-convex solid, only 28 objects have been copied in background. Impossible to sort objects with Zposition for this example, I tried to find a rule to find the good order in an Excel sheet, even with calculation of the center in % and others parameter like angles and of course Zposition, and the pans : no result available.

  12. PTE V6 beta #15

    Thanks to all, but first thanks to Igor and his team.

    To answer to questions, how long it take me to do it, diffilcult to answer, the first object take me about 10 hours to do it, but before I had done many others objects. for those of the end, same answer they took me about six hours for the 3 objects but I did many others before. For the flag, it took me exactly 5 hours, including Paintshop Pro work, I did it the day when I posted.

    It's now easy to work with such objects since we have the "Show front/Show back" function.

    Igor, will it be possible to build a structured object composed of several parallel layers (with png transparency) at different depths and partially rotate around it?

    This would solve problems with my next slideshow!

    Greetings! Umberto

    I think it will be probably possible, the best is to wait a lot.

    I have made 3 exe from the 3 most difficult slideshows for PTE I did, one, "Mon maîtr"e use intensive transformations of parent-child objects (used also a long time ago in Fantaisies florales), the second one, "Penser avec son pinceau" which use thousand masks; the third one "Diapositiviades auvergnates" in which there is like a video 720 x 450 during 7'27", the slideshow is a full HD definition and for which the speed of calculation is very important, all these exe works like they do with 5.6. All the functions of 5.6 in exe files works correctly now in 5.7.

    Bravo Igor and team.

    * Fixed bug of Beta 4-5 with assigning of a custom icon file for executable file with a slideshow.

    Seems OK now. Thanks

    * Vastly reduced memory usage for Undo/Redo system. Earlier long work with very large slides could cause "Out of memory" error message.

    Many thanks for this important modification. It became to be a problem with complex slideshow and it seems good now : a very good feature.

    Do you think include in V5.7 the two requets I send you lat week ?.

    Thanks to you and your team for all the very difficult job you are doing.

    I agree! Magnifique travail!

    Is it correct that you are working on a tool that helps to do animations easy?

    If it is, I'm looking forward and wait for it!

    This tool will operate with Excel or what?

    Thanks...

    Fabrizio

    Thanks. Yes, that's right I am preparing a tool but, the first one is another one and after, I'll finish it. It's a long time to make it easy for everybody, the tool itself is finish since two months.

    Jean Pierre,

    Magnifique! I can't stop calling my friends to come and see this!

    You have raised the bar - pas de question!

    Dick

    Many thanks Dick, I hope your friiends enjoy as you do. I don't think this slideshow would have a good notation in a gala or festival, but which is important for me is to do something people like.
