![]() Now we need to index the image using Image→ Mode → Indexed function ( Alt+I). That’s what animation optimize basically does. That way only changes need to be updated. The other is the combine method, in which the new frame is added to the previous frame. It’s like taking the frame out before adding a new one. You can either use the replace mode (default), which will replace the old frame with the new one. You can use two different modes for every frame of your animation. This will create a new image using a different mode than what we have now. Before we do that, let’s optimize the animation using the Filters → Animation → Animation Optimize function. Now we only need to save our animation as GIF. All we need to do now is to drag the layers back to the original image. You can backup the progress, but for now we will make the filter apply on all layers inbetween by clicking on continue in the next dialog. Here, choose continue and specify parameters for the last frame. After you click OK another dialog shows up. ![]() We’ll blur in horizontal direction only, so let’s make it v:0 h:2. We want to blur the text away in time, so for the first frame, let’s specify a lower value. Now we need to specify parameters for the lowest layer in the stack, ie. Use the Filters → Filter All Layers function and select plug-in-gauss-rle2 from the list and press the apply varying button. Now we’re ready to apply a gaussian blur filter on every layer using varying parameters. With a rectangular select tool, draw a selction around the text. ![]() This is as simple as dragging the layer preview from the layers window to the toolbar. Please go to the “ Using GAP” tutorial to learn more about the tool.īefore we can apply this effect, we need to create a new image out of the third frame. This function is provided by GAP, the GIMP Animation Package. In the last step, we’ll use a very handy function for applying a filter to multiple layers. You can even drag the preview around your desktop. To check if the timing is good, you can preview the animation using the Filters → Animation → Animation Playback. Just double-click the layer comment in the layers’ window and a delay in ms enclosed in brackets (). In GIMP you specify the delay as a layer comment. That way you can create a 12 second animation using only a few frames, because the delay does not have to be constant. In every GIF animation you are allowed to specify the delay between frames. That way you can position the newly created text acording to the text below (on the previous frame). Before using the text tool, set the layer (frame) transparency to a lower value, so you could see the layer below it. The positioning might be crucial for the final animation, so you can use the following trick to make the positioning a piece of cake. After typing the text onto the frame, GIMP will create a floating selection, that you need to position right using the move tool and anchor using Ctrl+H. Then we’ll use the standard text tool to put a small text note on every frame. The first step will naturally be to copy our flattened image two times using the duplicate layer button in the layers window. I don’t want to make this boring, so lets make it three frames. Each frame will consist of the flower image and accompanied by some text. We will be creating a banner consisting of, say three lines of text being animated. Now we’re ready for the actual animation work. Once you’re ready flatten the image using the Image → Flatten Image. This part of the tutorial is not the key element, so feel free to experiment. In that layer mask i applied a b/w gradient, so that the left of the flower is not interlaced. I couldn’t resist adding the interlace effect using Filters → Render → Grid and a layer mask. ![]() After that I blurred the shadow using Gaussian blur RLE and offset it by 2px to bottom right. I just pasted the flower below the border frame, used alpha to selection, created an empty layer below it and filled the selection with black using Ctrl+. I have prepared a masked-out flower you see on the picture on the left. Now it’s time to put our logo or the main theme picture into the banner. We created a 1 px frame around out banner. Shrink the selection by 1 px ( Selection → shrink) and delete the selection with Ctrl+K. Select the whole image with Ctrl+A and fill it with black ( Ctrl+,). For now let us think about every layer as of a separate frame. We’ll discuss the two different frame disposal methods later on. Unlike it’s default composite function, using GIMP as an animation package requires you to think of every layer as of an animation frame. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use GIMP’s layers in a different manner. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Jakub Steiner and may not be used without permission of the author.

![]() These copolymers typically contain >50 mol% TBTFMA, are lipophilic, and fail to provide good imaging due to poor wettability. The radical copolymerization of 2-trifluoromethylacrylic monomers with norbornene derivatives has been found through reactivity ratio determination and in situ 1H NMR analysis of kinetics to deviate from the terminal model but to follow the penultimate model. Our primary platform for 157 nm positive resists is built on a copolymer of t-butyl 2-trifluoromethylacrylate (TBTFMA) and norbornene bearing hexafluoroisopropanol (NBHFA) as an acid group, which is prepared by radical copolymerization. This contribution will explore these hidden opportunities review the state of the art of biomolecular and cellular patterning through the glasses of a microlithographic engineer and it will explore the future areas where microlithography can contribute with the highest scientific, technical and commercial return-on-investment. yield management, registration and alignment, and resolution enhancement are in many senses undiscovered by the bio-techniques for biomolecular and cellular patterning. Also, other areas of classical microlithographic expertise, e.g. For instance, the intrinsic capability of the microlithographic materials -resists- to manipulate the surface properties via exposure to light has not been used for the patterning of biomolecules or cells. Despite all of these developments and related -yet to be fulfilled- opportunities, many other remained almost entirely unexplored. The recent advances in New Generation Lithographies (NGL) as members with full rights in the panoply of microlithography techniques, automatically opened enormously large opportunities for microlithography engineering in the area of microarrays, which can be now seen as patterned chips. One major driving force behind this new impetus was the emergence of combinatorial DNA, protein and -soon- cell-based chips. Spatially addressable immobilization of biomolecules and cells on patterned surfaces and microfabricated topographies has gained momentum in recent years. While part of that difference is probably intrinsic in the cost structure of the respective development efforts, it is suggested that the relative amount of spending on resist R&D has historically not been at a level that optimizes the overall return for the industry. However, R&D expenditures for hardware and wetware have consistently been at greatly different levels. Using this equivalent NA concept, it is shown that the contribution from resist improvements has historically outpaced that from stepper NA improvements. the contribution of the exposure tool development is investigated by expressing the resist performance improvement as a numerical aperture (NA). The relative contribution of the wetware, i.e., the photoresists and other chemicals used in the photolithography step, vs. If you are experiencing homelessness, please contact the Continuum of Care in your local area for assistance.Photolithography is a key component of the industry's ability to continue to shrink devices according to Moore's Law, and any improvements immediately translate into large economic benefits for the industry.

The spawns also different from grass spots, but even each individual spot, in case you have problems with finding a Nexomon with my guide, you can find a more detailed guide here, which is especially very useful for Palmaya beach: ![]() So if you see a Nexomon in my list and can't find it yourself, you might not be far enough with the main quest for it to appear there. Keep in mind that evolutions of Nexomon can appear later on in the story on spots where they weren't before. I hope this guide will be useful and that you'll find the Nexomon that you're missing. BTW the names I gave each field sucks, I know that, but I added a screenshot to each one to make it more clear which field I mean. I'm pretty sure I'm still missing Nexomon, especially because while making the list there were more Nexomon added to fields I had already visited, but I listed all that I found. I've been running around a bit more than I needed to be, just to fill up this guide as much as possible. This guide will list the Nexomons I found in each field. Others I have no clue where to find them. The developer is tweaking the distribution rate daily, so this should get a lot better over time. A few a know where they are but they just don't show up for me. Insurmountable 2.0 will feature a completely new story, new side missions and new skills along with a staggering amount of balance changes and reworks on the familiar gameplay! Gone is the known structure of playersclimbing three mountains in a row for victory. This will happen on monday the 14th of march, so that until then, all of you who were still hesitant of getting the game have the brief opportunity to buy the game at its current price and still enjoy everything the 2.0 update will have to offer! Increasing the content and features of Insurmountable 1.0 (or 1.3 to be very precise) will also mean that we will increase the price of the game to accommodate the upcoming changes. Balancing & In-game Skills have been completely reworked.The new and improved tutorial will be context-based and offer new players information according to their progress.New Feature: tracking is a new goal that players have to find and reach in order to clear a mission.Procedurally generated maps are a big part of the 2.0 update as side missions will rely heavily on this feature, allowing players to climb a wider variety of mountains.Knowledge is essential to level up their respective areas (items, character skill trees, team upgrades). How much knowledge is received depends on the mission. ![]() Prepare Accordingly - Upgrades and preparing for missions include collecting knowledge in different areas such as items, characters, terrain, and the environment.Mountaineering Map - Found in the base camp, the map indicates which missions are available, which ones are completed, and which ones are not yet unlocked.Here, players can choose their next mission, upgrade kit and skills, and decide on which items to bring. Base Camp - The base is an almost entirely abandoned research facility in the mountain range.They have to free themselves and find out more about the mysteries looming in the mountain range. Now, the three characters find themselves in a time loop, caused by the research station which is now their base. Insurmountable’s 2.0 update is now available to everyone who owns the base game!Ī brand new story awaits players. Dangerous terrain, unpredictable weather and various events and challenges are waiting for you! The 2.0 update brings with it a brand new metagame centered around your base camp and new side missions to keep you busy - bolster your progression and flesh out your journey! In Insurmountable, you’ll be tackling three dangerous peaks as one of three different climbers. ![]() The fashion industry is nervous about neglecting a community of future fashion consumers. Will brands shift resources to cater accordingly, with brands such as LVMH and Gucci becoming something that closer resembles a fashion-tech company than a fashion house? This may seem far-fetched today but just ask brands such as blockbuster how quickly trends can shift. For example, a consumer someone recently paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg’s neighbour in a virtual world called the Sandbox □Ī further point is, what if consumption grows faster in the Metaverse than in reality? Which it may well do given societal trends and the time Gen Z spends online. ![]() Secondly, we're only just grappling with the on-line to off-life fashion consumption model, but how about meta vs physical? Will there be meta only products, experiences and services? History suggests so. Where they will be fashion consumers eyes and wallets, there will be brands trying to gain some of that wallet share in that new channel □ Be it billboards, TVs, websites, phones and now the Metaverse. ![]() Fashion brands want to get as many eyes on their products as possible, in whatever channel that might be. Since then we’ve also seen Adidas invest in the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem and Nike acquire VR and NFT studio RTFKT, proving beyond doubt the next fight between fashion brands with be in the digital, virtual space □ What about fashion consumers?įirstly, fashion brands follow fashion consumers. What we can see therefore is fashion is moving full throttle into the Metaverse, with tie ups with games, lifestyle experiences and meet-ups. What followed was the same Balengica debuting their NYC collection as part of Simpsons sketch, he who shall not be named announcing his own 'evil, not evil, definitely evil version' of the Metaverse, and finally rounding off with a rush of brands, such as Nike patenting their logo in VR. ![]() Occasional play outside would mean better longevity but again, this is supposed to be an OUTDOOR shoe.Įither Nikey went all-out saving cash mode or there was a design flaw there. And I’m only in the third month of the shoe. It’s nowhere near the reliability of a KB Mentality 2 or any other outdoor-ready shoe and the pattern’s grooves are starting to fray. This is supposed to be an outdoor budget model, correct? Then why this questionable, flimsy rubber is being used? A quick wipe or two occasionally was enough for me.īut wait, it’s not all good. The outsole does pick up dust but it isn’t a huge deal in this case – the pattern is spaced out enough to where the debris can escape rather quickly. You know, those outside courts with bouncy rubber surfaces. I haven’t experienced any major slips or slide-outs due to the outsole, and I’m talking either concrete or synthetic rubber. The shoe wouldn’t make it to a list of the best traction hoop shoes but for most players, I believe this should do the trick. I feel like this traction was enough for me to focus on playing and not being hesitant. ![]() I know that a consumer is drawn to something that’s articulated as “deadly” or “aggressive” traction but realistically, all you need is consistent grip to serve you during the action. TRACTIONĭoes it grip various surfaces well? Is dust/debris a factor? How long will the outsoles last outdoors? Pin image source: įor what’s supposed to be a durable, aggressive outdoor shoe – the traction was okay at best. Would’ve been nice if these weren’t overly tight for me. It’s easy to put on, it’s super light, low to the ground, and barely feels like something on your foot. I’ve seen several leather shoes break in quicker than these!īesides that – the shoe feels decent. Once again, something that’s not a dealbreaker but totally could’ve been improved. It might take less for you but expect a lengthy adjusting phase. The upper barely stretches but the shoe started to feel better substantially only in the 3rd week for me. You can tell it’s not a premium shoe and making it wasn’t expensive.Ī thing of note – don’t judge a book by its cover and give these a good amount of time to break in. Pin image source: COMFORT: DECENTĪs far as comfort itself goes – there’s nothing special here but nothing horrible either. If you’re more of a fan of roomy fits, going up 1/2 a size is an option too. Regular/narrow footers – you can go true to your size but expect a snug, condensed fit. So the bottom line for wide footers – either try o rdering a few different sizes in advance (since I really can’t recommend one specific formula for this one) or skip these entirely. Sure, the KD’s are almost all narrow but at least that’s balanced out with a stretchy upper, better overall comfort, and no trickery such as a damn swoosh digging into your foot. My feet are kinda gigantic but regardless, there’s no way a shoe should be designed in such a compact fashion, leaving zero room for error in terms of your foot shape. I believe this won’t be an issue for regular/narrow-shaped feet though. The lateral areas of the forefoot (where the swoosh starts) are digging into my feet – almost every movement that causes the shoe to flex is uncomfortable and at times even painful. There’s already a tad bit of dead space length-wise, so going up a full size would’ve likely ruined the fit. Not a great shoe for wide footers – I’m one myself, I went up half a size and I still do not like how they fit at all. By that, I mean super damn narrow, compact, and overly snug, especially in the forefoot area. If you’ve ever played in a KD model before, such as the 12th or the 13th, think of the Mamba Fury as a poor man’s version of those. Also, if a user clicks on any of the product links and purchases a product, I earn a small commission.ĭo they fit true to size or should you go up/down? How comfortable are they?

Well, we’re in 2010 now and the so-called budget line is still going, though the past few models honestly have been nothing special, and far from how I remember it in the Mentality days. The main signature line provided a quality, premium shoe with leading tech specs, while the budget line provided a cheap shoe that’s still good enough to hoop comfortably, even outdoors. I think Kobe’s stuff was at its true peak then, where both the main line and the budget line were doing exactly what they’re supposed to. Does anyone remember the KB Mentality 2? I do. Every Captain commands four subordinates on the ground, all of which can be directed to act in any manner you choose. On the ground, you lead your away team across exciting terrain, interacting with allies and battling enemies.

Now available on a free-to-play basis, Star Trek Online is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set in the 25th century, in the original Star Trek universe. Unfortunately, as developers Cryptic and Perfect World originally failed to introduce the Mac edition alongside the PC version, it’s taken them three long years to produce the Mac edition of Star Trek Online, with a little help from conversion specialists TransGaming and its Cider technology. Avid gamers will be quick to point out that PC users have been privileged to enjoy Star Trek Online since its release back in 2010.

While she was regenerating from Adolf's blast, she took in parts of Adolf's body as a source of energy, resulting in her having the abilities of an electric eel as well. Initially she received the abilities of a planarian, allowing her to regenerate completely even after being blown to bits.

Obviously I want the chunks to be merged together instead of being splitted in the zip. Right know, this does not work as I want, for example: if a file named problem.txt is divided into 10 chunks, I get 10 files named problem.txt in my zip folder. The computer that will run this program will also run another (heavy) application and therefore I want this compressing program to load a chunk of each file to prevent it to use a lot of RAM (max size of chunk = 0.5 GB ), compressing that chunk and then proceed the next chunk until all files are compressed. I'm building a program with help of the library for compressing files with sizes up to 3GB. |
