11/23/2023 0 Comments Creating paintbrush set in gimpThis takes a bit of work, start first with large fuzzy brush, and work towards finer detail by using a smaller fuzzy brush. Keep the selection active still, and start adding black shadows with the airbrush tool so the shape gets some depth and looks more three-dimensional. It does not look very real yet, but we want to bring this to life next… Step 9 ¶ Then fill the selection with a rather mid gray gradient. Then make another bezier selection that will form the brush metal handle, this is a bit more tricky, try to think where the brush handle will point, and add small “roundings” to the ends. Make a blend from top to bottom, so that the white fades out towards the brush tip. The important thing here is to set the blend mode to “ FG to Transparent”, we only want to add white, not the black. You might want to make a new layer for the hilight so you can edit it later if you are not happy with the result. We are going to use the Blend tool (gradient fill) to make the hilight. ![]() Try to think where the light comes from, and make the selection accordingly. Since a wet brush tip is rather shiny, we want to add a hilight too make it look realistic. Make another bezier selection, now inside the black brush tip. Just fill the selection with black color. This could be tricky if you are not used to the tool, so it might be helpful to check out my Bezier tool tutorials if you have trouble. Use the Bezier (Paths) tool to make a brush-shaped selection, like on the above image. We first create a new transparent layer, and name it “tip” since we start drawing the brush from the brush tip. But I am sure many of the others are great too, check a few out at your bookstore! Step 1 ¶Īnyway, we start off with a plain gray image. If I must pick one to recommend, I think it would be Grokking The Gimp, it is pretty good. If you want to learn the basics, a good way to do so is to get one of the many GIMP books written. ![]() ![]() This tutorial can be a bit complex and I think it is better for a bit more advanced GIMPer. So, we want to create a nice paintbrush image with GIMP. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Tuomas Kuosmanen and may not be used without permission of the author.

11/23/2023 0 Comments Clutch burn outCollins pointed out the same thing to me earlier. It shouldn't be possible to switch from N to gear like that. This might require you to bind it to an analog control though, because it lets it out slowly when bound to a button.īut I do agree and see a point here. A go to way in Porsche Cup cars from what I read (comment from a real Cup driver) to just let the wheelspin do the slipping with that great 911 rear traction. You can get away with that if you let the clutch out quickly. For example auto clutch shouldn't cause any heat and wear when it's doing something as it doesn't behave as well as a good manual driver - but this is only if you don't add any manual clutch input yourself. As I'm writing this there are some tweaks waiting for the next beta build already. We're of course also taking notes ourselves as this is still a new feature. ![]() If you feel some clutch fails too easily, please tell us why you think that is and we'll consider tweaking it. But it's available through the latest shared memory header. If you dare, you can disable traction control and try letting the tires most of the abuse with a small burnout which helps keep RPMs up until the car is moving along nicely.Īs for cluch damage info, this hasn't been added yet to any built-in HUD. It's a compromise between a gentle start and not bogging down too much in lower RPM. The clutch shouldn't fail if you simply start with moderate RPMs and throttle, and quickly release the clutch input. However since standing starts are popular in practical gameplay, GT3s in AMS2 are designed to do a decent standing start. As you can imagine there is a lot of torque and heat, and not that much heat capacity involved when slipped for even a second with strong pressure.Īs a rule of thumb, F1 clutches are designed to do a standing start with some clutch slip to prevent bogging down in low RPMs or starting too big of a burnout from dropping the clutch too harshly. This also enables mounting the engine lower which improves CoG. ![]() Racing clutches tend to be as small as possible to remove driveline inertia while holding the engine's torque. They can take moderate abuse - which racing always brings - but not really more than that. Race cars don't necessarily handle clutch abuse all that well. It'll make them a bit tricky to launch with slip technique unless you're aware of this increase in bite after brief slip. This also works if you have mechanical failures disabled. One more thing is that carbon clutches like on F1 cars (F-Classic onwards atm) have more bite when they heat up. If you believe your clutch is gone, go to the pits with mechanical damage repairs on and they will handle it. You'll notice that it's possible to destroy the clutch like this in seconds. Never let it slip like this, but instead baby the throttle and let the clutch cool down. This will make the clutch slip prematurely and cause a lot of wear in a short time. Easily achieved if trying to gain a better start with too much clutch slip in cars that do not handle this - more on this below. The first ill effect you will get if you slip the clutch a lot with major pressure is overheating. Wear is a long term issue if you mostly drive the car normally and especially with sequential gearboxes. And with a lot of wear it can't hold the engine's full torque at all. Wear won't instantly start degrading clutch performance (how much torque it can hold, how fast it "bites"), but it will become more sluggish after extensive wear and eventually slip from sudden jolts or if you don't let it settle after a shift. This isn't really a concern with sequentials if they have autolift. This is a concern when driving an h-shifter car and not letting the revs match before dropping the clutch - or even not lifting throttle at all between shfits, which is very bad. And depending on the car and clutch, it can wear faster if it's slipped when the gearbox-side is spinning fast. ![]() Also how fast it slips as in the RPM difference between clutch's gearbox-side vs engine RPM has a big effect. If you apply more pressure (as in press clutch input in less), it'll wear faster as long as it's slipping. You accumulate wear by slipping the clutch. The basic variables of clutch damage are temperature and wear. ![]() At this point I've figured it's worth writing a post about clutch damage and how it works.įor starters to enable clutch damage, you need to have mehanical failures enabled. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Blue aura quartzIt’s a Clear Quartz bonded with Silver and Platinum, or sometimes with gold and a variety of other trace metals. There’s something radiant and beyond the norm about these stones, and the way in which they are formed in the natural world means that no two Angel Aura Quartz pieces could ever be identical. Of course, modern science has helped us to understand how Angel Aura Quartz is able to form with such delicate yet overpowering colors within, yet even that scientific understanding has done nothing to take away the mysticism and intrigue of this wondrous stone.įaith healers and those of a spiritualistic mindset have always been drawn to this stone, but even collectors and those seeking personal growth can likewise find plenty of benefits to owning their own piece of Angel Aura Quartz. It can be pretty hypnotic to look at, and has been prized over the centuries for its appearance as much as its mysticism. ![]() This is a stone whose feeling and imagery inspires peace and a clear mind. 7.1 About the author Angel Aura Quartz PropertiesĪs you might imagine from its name, Angel Aura Quartz is a stone whose appearance can’t help but to stir up feelings of ethereal realms and otherworldly wisdom.ĭespite having a sheer, shiny and clear outer appearance, it would seem as though every color imaginable dances inside of this stone, and it has led to many associations of magic and the divine over the years. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Captureone 23![]() Apply your edits to multiple Layers from a single Style, allowing for easy opacity control and versatility.Įnsure accurate order of photos for easier culling by changing capture time.

I only use them when I'm doing live capture during a photo session.Reduce editing time massively with Smart Adjustments. When you get back you can export photos (and any edits you've done) from the MacBook catalog to the iMac catalog.Īnd finally, don't confuse Catalogs with Sessions. Another case might be if you mainly use CO on an iMac but travel with CO on a MacBook so you can look at photos in the field. I just use one catalog but no way is right or wrong-just what works for you. For example, professional vs personal photos. Some people use multiple catalogs, based on use. ![]() This gets them off the SD card and onto your hard drive. CO Import lets you specify a hard drive location where the images should be copied to. You actually want to move the images off the card so you can erase it and use it again. Imagine you're importing images from your camera's SD card. Side note-there's actually a third option when you import images. So I keep my images in separate locations on my hard drive and don't actually put them into the catalog. Think of how much disk space your images take, specially if you work with RAW images. The difference is that when you do the former-store images inside the catalog-the catalog can get really big. ![]() When you import images into CO you can either move them into the catalog itself or keep them in their original locations and just add a "pointer" into the catalog. Your catalog grows as you import and edit new images. (Sidebar, if you don't use layers you really should look into them.) (I say "basically" because CO does keep pre-rendered versions cached so it can update its UI quickly.) This "list of edit instructions" is kept in the CO catalog. When CO displays (prints, exports, etc.) an image it basically reapplies all of your edits to the image-crop, color, masks, etc., so that you can see all your edits. Remember, CO does non-destructive editing, meaning the source image file is not changed. Basically everything you do to an image in CO is stored in the catalog. Depending on your subscription/purchase option this may or may not be a free upgrade.Ī catalog is a file on your hard drive with a ".cocatalog" suffix. Have you already updated to Ventura? My guess is that you'd need to upgrade to 23. Looking at it appears that CO 22 cannot run on Ventura. Have you already upgraded to 23 and can't start 22 anymore so you can do a backup? I need to see what the best solution is there.ĭidn't see your note until I posted my response. ![]() Doing so makes the catalog *really* big and it will require a lot of space to backup. I *don't* use the option to save photos in the catalog. I keep my photos in separate locations on hard drive. A dialog appears before the app fully terminates, giving you the option to do a backup ("Backup") or just terminate ("Not Now".) The catalog backup is stored in a folder of your choosing. The easiest way to do a backup is to launch 22 and then quit the app. I found the CO 23 installer by launching 22 and going to the Capture One 22 menu and selecting "Check for Updates.". When complete you'll have both CO 22 and CO 23 on your hard drive. You download the installer for 23 to your Mac and then install it as a new program. You don't actually "upgrade" CO 22 to 23. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Breakaway music festival 2022![]() ![]() William Van Orsdel, Breakaway’s head of growth, added, “As one of the last independent groups in live entertainment, we carry the flag of the ‘underdog’ in the music industry.

The wire fraud statute does not make an explicit reference to materiality. Moreover (iii) It was reasonably foreseeable that interstate wire communications would be used, (iv) in the scheme. ![]() Indeed, “ ny person who attempts or conspires to commit any offense under this chapter shall be subject to the same penalties as those prescribed for the offense, the commission of which was the object of the attempt or conspiracy.”Ī person could be charged with wire fraud if the following four elements of the crime are established: (i) the person voluntarily or intentionally participated in or devised a scheme to defraud someone of money or other valuables (ii) the person did so with the intent to defraud the person. 1349 applies to attempts to commit wire fraud.

So it took a little more work than expected, but I'm happy I kept at it after the first couple of blunders. The researchers have parsed the whole of Wiktionary and other sources, and compiled everything into a single unified resource. That's when I stumbled across the UBY project - an amazing project which needs more recognition. However, after a day's work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors (especially with the part-of-speech tagging) for it to be viable for Word Type.įinally, I went back to Wiktionary - which I already knew about, but had been avoiding because it's not properly structured for parsing. This caused me to investigate the 1913 edition of Websters Dictionary - which is now in the public domain. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn't be too much more work to get this up and running. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for - just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. Both of those projects are based around words, but have much grander goals. The entire session was released on the 2022 box set Divine Symmetry.For those interested in a little info about this site: it's a side project that I developed while working on Describing Words and Related Words.
