What programs open RAW files?

chosen one

I think they are 3D programs or something like that

Answer
From wikipedia:

"A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and ready to use with a bitmap graphics editor, printed, or displayed by a typical web browser. The image must be processed and converted to an RGB format such as TIFF or JPEG before it can be manipulated."

You should then check out https://jrawio.dev.java.net/ , an Open Source Java program used to read RAW data from various digital camera models.

How do I convert a 2d image into a 3d image that i can paint digitally?

3d scanner open image

Kevin Solt

I paint miniature models for a board game called Warhammer 40k, and I want to know if there is a program (or programs) that can allow me to upload a picture of the model, and paint it (even in a different program) so that I can try out new paint schemes without having to actually buy the paints first and put them on the model. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
Well, this is a bit of a complicated task. Unless you have the money to be spending on a three-dimensional scanner, you're pretty much sunk.

If you simply want to test out colors, your best bet may be to take photos of your unpainted model (or have it painted white, if you want better results later), convert the photo to grayscale and open it in Photoshop.

Create a new layer, set it to multiply, and use the brush tool to color on top of the black and white photo of the model. This should give you a good enough indication of what the end result will look like.

How to get out of a commission on deviantart?

Lyra

I accidentally got into a commission with someone on deviant art.
Now I'll be truthful with you: i am not a artist. I don't even have a scanner. The only reason I'm on that website is to find covers.
You may ask: why not tell the guy it was a mistake, and I hadn't meant to take the commission?
Well... he's suicidal.
Plus, the comish. involves bondage and BDSM, something I'm not exactly comfortable with.
Any help?

Answer
It is a matter of business law that when an offer is made, and someone has accepted the offer, the offerer is required to perform the offer.

In spite his being suicidal you must tell him it is a mistake and you lack the skills to perform the commission. If you have been paid anything you must return it asap.

Both you will be better off if you do this now rather than have him find out later you are unable to do it.

If you have an interest in making your own imagery for your covers there is free open source software for this. Photo-realistic 3D avatars can be made with software from:
http://www.makehuman.org/
The avatars can be put in 3D scenery and clothing made with:
http://www.blender.org/
This CAD software can also make objects in a more precise way which can be imported into Blender:
http://www.freecadweb.org/

Blender will have a steep learning curve, but it is well rewarding to learn it.

Is there any way to get rid of shadows on a printed page?

3d scanner open image

Lois V

I am scanning and copying pages that have 3D embellishments on them and I keep getting a shadow on the copy. I have tried holding the top of the scanner down to minimize it, and I've tried editing with the eraser, but there has to be an easier way.

Answer
Shadows are created from a light source.

So here is one guess as to why there are shadows. When you scan, there is a light that scans the item. So either you can, keep the lid all the way open. Or keep the lid open and put a cloth/sheet over the item, make sure you have this cloth tight around the whole item, inside any cracks etc..

To help not see the shadow at all, use a dark color (black) sheet.

Are there ways to make sketched anime into real anime?

Tamere

I want to be able to post my drawings on the internet and marvel at it. Also do u guys kno how to make animated anime scenes (like the opening) that'd be awesome!! THX!!! By the way I'm 12 and dnt have a university
degree or whatev (obviously....)

Answer
A scanner will help you get your drawings onto the internet. Photobucket is a good place to post them. Deviantart requires you to be at least 13 to post, but once you're 13, that is another good place to post as well.
To actually do animation, you need special programs for that. I don't know any free programs off the top of my head, but there might be some if you take some time to look around. Just for still digital art, GIMP is a free program. If you wanted a program for still digital art that wasn't free but not outrageously expensive, I would recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's a bit more intuitive to navigate and use than GIMP. 3D Studio Max is a program that can handle 3D animation, but it's very expensive. I know I've heard there is a free program that can do pretty much the same as 3D Studio Max, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.

Photoshop or Ilustrator to tweak scanned drawings for use in After Effects?

3d scanner open image

Marcus

I want to utilize the "2 1/2D" feature of AE (2D layers in a 3D environment) but rather than creating the images w adobe, I want to draw them myself and scan each one, then tweak individually before importing them to AE for use. Won't be working with photos, and am obviously an Adobe novice. Would I do better w PS or ILL? Thanks!

Answer
Photoshop is the best for what your needs are.

You just need to hook your printer/scanner up to the USB port of your computer and scan away.

Then all you have to do is open up Photoshop. Press File --> Open and find your scanned photo.
I can't give you a whole tutorial on how to tweak it up though so try to find some tutorials on YouTube, there's plenty out there.

What software do I need to make cartoons?

Jimmy

I want to make animated cartoons, but am not sure what software I need. What software is best to draw the characters and backgrounds? Once I draw the characters do I then put them into Adobe Flash to make a cartoon?

Answer
You can use any of these FREE Cartoon Animation Softwares.........

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.
