![]() Set smooth angle to 41.5°, and you'll see hard edges. Get the difference between the plane angles by subtracting that value from 180° ( 41.882° ). What you have now is a pair of boundaries that represent the actual angle between the polygon planes ( 138.118° ), not the angle between the polygon's edges ( 135° ). ![]() Delete the horizontal boundaries in the middle of each of those two planes. Apply Tools > Polygon > Linear Subdivide. Select one polygon on each side of the equator. Set up the sphere with 8 longitudinal sections and 4 parallel sections, convert it to polygons and flatten the top and bottom. The following are MY OWN SUSPICIONS, and I highly recommend a grain of salt with each and every one of them.Ī) The angles used in these calculations have nothing to do with the polygon boundaries (I should have said points) - they seem to refer to the angles between the planes of the polygons at the point where boundaries occur.ī) The smooth angle seems to translate as "Smooth edges where the angle difference between these two planes is less than this value." OK, I'm not a 3D developer and not even terribly well versed in 3D software, but I think you're both confusing which angles are involved in smoothing. I then used a view program I wrote in JavaFx to display the vertex normals exported for each file, as shown below: To investigate this further, I exported versions of the. The shape from >= 61 degrees and = 70 degrees was completely smoothed. The shape displayed when angle is set to a value greater than 41 degrees and less than 61 degrees seemed to be some type of hybrid that is both smooth and creased. Instead, I saw one transition stepping from 41 to 42 degrees, then another from 60 to 61 degrees and get another from 69 to 70 degrees. I expected to see a transition where the side faces went from flat shaded to smooth and then, as the angle advanced higher to eventually see the entire shape display as smooth. Using this object, and starting with an angle setting of 30 degrees I watched the display as I stepping the value up one by one. With a little math I determined that the angle between the vertex normals shared between one side face and another should be about 41.86 degrees and that the angle between a top face and a side face should be about 69 degrees. ![]() This gives me a shape where all the sides have a common angle between the faces, but the top and bottom faces share a sharper angle with the sides. ![]()

![]() ![]() They want to really push the disc capacity of the new-generation systems and the publisher plans to announce even more songs for Guitar Hero Live in the future. The previous record holder, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, topped out at 93.Īnd Activision isn’t looking to beat the Babe by a single home run like Roger Maris in 1961. That triple-digit number means that Guitar Hero Live will have the largest selection of on-disc of any music game when its released this Fall. And it’s definitely getting those games as Apple TV versions of Rayman Adventures, Disney Infinity: Star Wars, Shadowmatic, Crossy Road, and Guitar Hero Live were all announced during today’s event.Įarlier this week, Activision announced another batch of songs that will be included in Guitar Hero Live, bringing the total number of tracks to 100. However, the All-New Apple TV’s powerful A8 chip means that, from a technical standpoint, it should certainly be able to handle console-quality games. While the All-New Apple TV will make use of iOS gaming technologies like Metal and Game Center, Apple was mum on the microconsole’s compatibility with MFi Game Controllers. Every All-New Apple TV will come packaged with Siri Remote, a remote that includes a glass touch surface that will handle “both small, accurate movements as well as big, sweeping ones.” Users will be able to speak to the Siri Remote for searching and motion controls (including a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope) will also be included in the controller’s bag of tricks. The All-New Apple TV will be powered by tvOS, a new operating system that’ll let developers create games and apps specifically designed for a bigger screen. That all changes this Fall with the release of the “All-New Apple TV,” which will be available in late October in 32GB ($149) and 64GB ($199) models. If you want to dive deep into the entire tracklist, Activision has created a Spotify playlist that’ll keep you busy for exactly seven hours and 40 minutes.Įven though a tidal wave of Android-powered microconsoles have been released over the years, Apple was content to let the Apple TV stream pictures and video. Guitar Hero Live will be released in less than two weeks, on October 20, for the PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and mobile devices. Pat Benatar – “Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Live)”.There’s a lot of good stuff to be found in this latest tracklist update, especially if you’re a fan of 80s/90s rock: This morning, the publisher announced that 12 more songs would be included on the game disc, all of which have been featured in previous Guitar Hero games. ![]() I honestly thought Activision would call it a day after the Guitar Hero Live tracklist ballooned to 110 songs, but it looks like I was wrong. You can also spring for the 1 TB Xbox One + Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition Bundle, which features a Halo-themed Xbox One system, along with a digital download of Halo 5 that won’t unlock until next Tuesday.Ī complete list of this week’s new releases can be found after the break. The Limited Collector’s Edition includes a digital download of the game, but it won’t unlock until next Tuesday, October 27.

Among them is Addgene, a very useful nonprofit distribution channel for DNA constructs (. Many companies and labs have started to use SnapGene (many of them based on our recommendations). For example, if you want to isolate an insert that can be excised only with a restriction enzyme that cuts also within your insert as shown in the image: Despite two additional BssHII cuts within the sequence, it is possible to isolate the 1985-bp-long BssHII-SalI fragment. This is exactly the type of work that computers are ideal for! Sometimes, you also want to do a partial digest on purpose. two enzymes, which both cut your DNA at multiple sites. However, this requires manually calculating all possible fragment lengths, which can be quite some work if you have used e.g. Then you get typically a complex pattern, from which you very often can deduce (with some effort), whether your construct is OK or not. This comes in handy when you do an analytical digest and you did not add enough enzyme. However, Snapgene has still not implemented a feature that we would like to have: partial restriction enzyme digests. The program is able to read all files within that folder and you can perform actions on the collection (e.g. Support for collections: A collection is simply a folder with SnapGene files.However, I can see that this would be useful for wet lab scientists who quickly want to get some work done without spending hours on writing a Biopython script or learning the syntax of EMBOSS commands. For me, this feature is not essential since I do most of my protein sequence work with BioPython or EMBOSS. SnapGene focuses on implementing features fast and the documentation often lags behind. Support for protein sequences: This is still experimental and many options are grayed out (at least on my version).I tried it out and it's fairly easy to deploy. If you want to publish your constructs online, this would be a nice way to go. Since I last wrote about the SnapGene software ( ), many good things have happened: Snapgene is a software for the wet lab molecular biologist, who does lots of cloning work (construct design and annotation). ![]() ![]() If the acrosome reaction is not functioning in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in which the sperm is injected in the egg may be necessary, whereas intrauterine injection (IUI) in which the sperm is placed within the cervix, will not be effective. Additionally, it can predict the level of intervention required during assisted reproductive treatments. This test of sperm function can explain infertility in the cases of normal semen analysis when no female infertility factors are present. The results of this test indicate the quality of the sperm’s acrosome. The acrosome reaction test uses a trigger, such as hormones or certain electrolytes to trigger the acrosome reaction sequence in a lab and evaluates the sperm’s performance. While a standard sperm analysis can visually test the sperm for the presence of a typical acrosome, it cannot test the acrosome’s ability to function normally when introduced to an egg. There are several tests that evaluate sperm.

![]() Just remember, don’t get discouraged if your image looks distorted at first. You will need to adjust the centre of your panorama and crop it in the preview window. In order to make the stitching easier load the pictures in portrait orientation in your panorama stitcher, set up automatic control points and align the panorama. There’s only one last thing you need to remember. The stitching part is relatively simple and shouldn’t take too long. ![]() ![]() Now, you should have three to four images you will need to stitch in Hugin or Autopano Giga. Finally, if you want to capture a greater field of view, take another picture pointing your camera directly at the ceiling. Next, moving your camera further up, capture another image. Then, rotating the camera around the Nodal point and maintaining a good 30% overlap, move the camera up and capture another image. If you tripod doesn’t have one, then put your tripod’s head in portrait orientation as shown below.įirst, decide on the starting point of your image and take the first picture. Remember, the head needs to be set up properly so as it rotates around the Nodal point of the lens you are going to use. If you tripod has a centre column you can simply put it in portrait orientation. If you have a panoramic head and are allowed to use a tripod then you can set it up as demonstrated below. I personally find it easier to hold the sides of the lens while rotating it but you will probably find your own way of rotating it once you start experimenting with this technique. It’s the back of the camera that should move up and down rather than the front, so you may find it easier to shoot in the LiveView mode at first. Don’t just look through the viewfinder and then move your head up or down. The most important thing is to get this right. The picture below demonstrates the correct camera rotation. It will considerably reduce distortions and make stitching way easier. Remember, just like in traditional panoramic photography, you will need to rotate your camera around the nodal point of your lens. Once you manage to find the right place, start taking pictures. You will never achieve perfection but at least try to make sure that there are no extremelly over- or underexposed areas in your image. Then, I try to aim for the most balanced exposure so that the floor and the ceiling are both properly exposed. The floor will be usually underexposed and the ceiling will be overexposed, especially if there are lots of windows. What I usually do is to point my camera at the floor and the ceiling and observe how the light meter of my camera changes. Also remember that the light is likely to change with each exposure, as you will point your camera at different parts of the building, so shoot in manual mode and decide on the right shutter speed and aperture beforehand. Like I said before, a wide-angle lens will capture bigger field of view but you will still have to crop your picture for the desired effect. Churches, cathedrals and museums are ideal but you have to remember one thing. The reason for using a wide-angle, as opposed to a kit lens, is that it will capture a larger field of view, letting you crop the image to your likings in post production.įirstly, find a good scenery to capture. It doesn’t have to be a fisheye lens as long as the focal length is between 10 and 20mm. What you will need is a DSLR camera and a wide-angle lens, preferably an 8mm fisheye lens on DX or FX format camera. Vertoramas, on the other hand, are capable of representing enormous field of view without significant distortions. However, capturing such an enormous field of view in one picture will create significant distortions at the top and bottom of the image. You could argue that the same field of view can be captured by taking one picture with a fisheye lens in portrait orientation. However, in order to follow this post, you need to be familiar with the process of stitching photographs with a dedicated photo stitcher and the basics of panorama shooting. This post will guide you through both capturing, stitching and post-processing and will discuss some issues related to them. ![]() However, to capture a Vertorama you will only need to stitch 3 to 4 pictures, if you are using a wide-angle lens such as an 8mm fisheye. ![]() The principles behind capturing Vertoramas are pretty much the same as Equirectangular panorama. If you are not familiar with panoramic photography, please read my previous post on Equirectangular Panorama to get yourself familiar with the stitching process. Vertorama / tiltorama (see comments for details) simply stands for a vertical panorama and it’s one of the best ways to capture interiors. ![]() ![]() Maybe it’s your annual family reunion – MacGourmet Deluxe will help you plan the meals from start to finish. 3.)

Michigan is closely watching Virginia, where Tesla was dealt a setback this summer when a judge ruled the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association could sue to prevent Tesla from opening a planned Richmond dealership.Īnderson says that franchise laws are necessary to protect consumers from the ups and downs of the industry. “Tesla continues to fight against that law so that Michigan consumers can enjoy the freedom to buy cars as they wish.” “It’s unfortunate that Michigan law takes away rights from consumers in order to protect local car dealers,” said the Tesla spokesperson. The Palo Alto-based company is currently suing the state to overturn its ban. While Tesla has been allowed to sell directly to customers in about 20 states, it faces some form of sales restriction in most others - and is outright banned from direct sale in six states, including Michigan.

Like the cars, interested buyers can place orders at Tesla’s website,. In addition to the vehicles, the gallery showcases Tesla’s energy products such as solar panels, a solar roof, and energy storage unit. The Model 3, however, will not be on display in the new space. The gallery also opens as Tesla begins production of its $35,000 Model 3, which has a backlog of over 450,000 orders. “Tesla’s new gallery at the Somerset Mall allows anyone interested in Tesla, including the thousands of Model 3 reservation holders in Michigan, to learn about our technology.” “We are excited to expand our presence in Michigan in order to educate consumers about the benefits of Tesla’s vehicles in a fun and engaging environment,” a Tesla spokesperson said in a statement.

The report even acknowledged that no meteorite evidence had been recovered at the Tunguska site. ![]() In " Chelyabinsk Airburst, Damage Assessment, Meteorite Recovery and Characterization," which was published in Science in 2013, the scientists noted that the composition of the Chelyabinsk meteorites recovered were chondritic, 10 percent of their composition being that of iron. (Tunguska was flattened by an energy output of roughly 185 Hiroshima bombs.) It damaged hundreds of buildings in 10 major cities and sent over a thousand people to hospital. Technically known as a "superbolide," it detonated in the sky with the energy equivalent of roughly 33 Hiroshima bombs. In February 2013, a large space rock, about half the size of the theorized Tunguska meteoroid, entered Russian airspace again, this time over the Chelyabinsk Oblast. The earth trembled."īut if that is true, how is it that such a "large space rock" did not impact the Earth? "Suddenly in the north sky… the sky was split in two, and high above the forest the whole northern part of the sky appeared covered with fire… At that moment there was a bang in the sky and a mighty crash… The crash was followed by a noise like stones falling from the sky, or of guns firing. In fact, he said the sky looked as if it were on fire. Moments later he felt as if his shirt was on fire. One eyewitness by the name of Vanara was knocked from his chair at a trading post 40 miles from the estimated epicenter of the blast, according to a 2008 event article at the NASA website. Nevertheless, this proves that Lake Cheko is much older than the Tunguska event and is not an impact crater of a supposed Tunguska meteorite impact." "The study showed that the deepest sample is about 280 years old, which means that the lake is probably even older, because the researchers did not manage to obtain samples from the very bottom. The RAS conducted a radioscopic analysis of the samples and found that, despite the commonly held belief that Lake Cheko was barely over a century old, it was almost three times as old.įrom the press release at The Russian Geographical Society: They took the core samples, which were pulled from the deepest trench in Lake Cheko, to the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). This would be done through geochemical and biochemical analyses. So the team took core samples of the bottom sediments of Lake Cheko with which to get a more accurate assessment of just how old the lake at the middle of the Tunguska event mystery might be. ![]() In short, it might have existed prior to the Tunguska event itself. The lake, according to some, had not existed prior to 1908, but the scientists were working on the supposition that, given that the area had been poorly mapped prior to the 20th century, accounts could be wrong concerning the age of the lake. Sputnik International reported this week that Russian scientists from Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk visited in 2016 the area believed to be, according to one theory, an impact crater for the Tunguska event meteorite - Lake Cheko. But one thing it was not caused by, Russian scientists are now claiming, was a meteor with a meteorite impactor. The Tunguska event's cause is still a mystery, though, because that particular question remains unanswered. The cause of the Tunguska event of 1908 remains a mystery today, even though one of the prevailing theories - that a meteorite had scored the Earth and displaced thousands of trees in Siberia near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River and created a crater that became Lake Cheko - has now been debunked, because theories, by their very construct, can be tested and sometimes found wanting. ![]() ![]() Thanks in advance.Īre you using the lazy mouse and a free hand stroke instead of the dotted one?įor more detailed sculpting you should try dividing it until your mesh is 5 mil, than you can retopo it to reduce some of the resolution but keep the resolution you want visible to the viewer.
