![]() Check at various distances and when looking at a full 16:9 comp, this gives you a lot of insight to your font scale as well. While testing out your font, a great approach to judging spacing is to squint your eyes as you check the natural tracking of your lettering I’ve found out through many jobs that my safest approach to kerning from a creative director’s standpoint is to squint your eyes while testing your typeface. You’ll have to re-adjust your spacing using FontForge by moving the tracking bar in FontForge and re-export your font to test any specific letters / glyphs you want to fix. If your spacing looks awkward, this is where the back-and-forth step comes in. Most-commonly used is TTF (True Type Format).Īfter you’ve exported your Typeface, you’re going to want to load it up into your font app and test it out. To export your custom font, you’ll just need to go to File > Generate and select which filetype you’re looking to develop. STEP 8: EXPORT YOUR FONTĪfter you have everything prepared with FontForge, the next step will require a bit of a back-and-forth process. ![]() To officially name your font, Navigate to Element > Font Info, and rename “Untitled” to what you’d like to title your custom Typeface to be under the PS Names tab. The thickness of an “S” will usually end-up thinner than that of an O, C, or Q and should be adjusted accordingly. For example, the angle of the leader for an “A” might be the same angle as a “V’. This is a good time to develop a pattern of style / angle and thickness for your letters. There are many other FontForge-LateX related posts and questions out there, but I could find none clarifying a full (and clean) procedure to go from font creation to a fully-fledged package assembly. In this example, I’m going to develop a basic typeface. I have tried to follow the FontForge documentation, as well as these step-by-step explanations. Just follow this short tutorial and you’ll be on your way to making a fun new style unique for your Motion Graphics projects! But don't worry! All of these tools are free.

It’s far too easy, fact compounded by the ability to grind. It’s simple yet deep, compulsive and quick to play, just like the rest of the series, yet it has a problem: Difficulty, or lack thereof. In many ways it’s a true Fire Emblem game. There’s something just a little off about them, something not quite chiming with our play style in certain ways. In their own right, these are all good Fire Emblem games, but they just didn’t quite work for us where the others do. To clarify things initially: B-Tier does not mean these are bad games. Fire Emblem – Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.Fire Emblem – Genealogy of the Holy War.Fire Emblem – New Mystery of the Emblem.They’re fantastic games in their own right, each wonderful examples of the genre and wholly worthy of the Fire Emblem lineage. On any given day we’d pick one over the other, depending on our mood. Realistically, were it not for Shadow Dragon, any of these games could top our list. And of course, Three Houses came along and taught us that a modern Fire Emblem can work, and work very well. Radiant Dawn and Shadows of Valentia showed us a visual fidelity we’d never seen before in the series. The GBA titles wowed us in our youth, opening our eyes to a genre we’d never seen before. Fire Emblem Awakening revived the series for many, and kept us glued to our 3DS for weeks on end. We consider them all to be the pinnacle of TRPG games on their respective consoles, and to this day we continue to return to them, again and again.Įach of them have their own distinct reasons for being here. ![]() These are the ‘go to’ titles we’ll play when we want some sweet tactical action. Whilst they don’t quite approach the Shadow Dragon tier, we love the Fire Emblem games in A-Tier. Fire Emblem Echoes – Shadows of Valentia.Shadow Dragon gives you a ragtag bunch of units, puts you in increasingly tense situations and asks you to maths your way out of it. Novel terrain options, bosses that take up extra grid slots and frequent plot armour? Thanks but no thanks. Where Fates introduced novel classes and weapons that debuff, Shadow Dragon has the basic weapon triangle, clean and untouched. Where modern games trouble themselves with gradually improving relationships and carefully nurturing your party friendships, Shadow Dragon’s units practically nod at each other once and get back to the battle. As such, it deserves it’s own tier – this is an opinion piece after all.įor us it’s a perfect example of the distilled, difficult tactical RPG experience. It is our comfort blanket, our game play apex, the perfect tactical RPG in our eyes. No matter the new release, console update or franchise remaster rumour, we always return to Shadow Dragon. Any number of our articles written about the game will show you our love for it. It’s no secret that we love Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Hmmm, perhaps the name gives it away a little. ![]() Images uploaded are the responsibility of the Poster.

So season 4's 'finale' or season 5s 'premiere' will be the 'mid season climax'. you cant say 'WELL THEY ARE SPACED SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY SO THAT MEANS FILLER IS NOW CLIMAX'. Super water melon island and gem drill were the season 2 mid season climax. Ocean gem and mirror gem were the season 1 mid season climax. I mean how fucking dumb do you have to be to say that 'WELL BECAUSE THE EPISODES ARE SPACED SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO CONSIDER AN OBVIOUS FILLER EPISODE AS PART OF THE MID SEASON CLIMAX' Only if you're willfully ignorant, which you do seem to be. >also by that logic you'd have to include house guest as being part of hte 'mid season climax' Not their best work, but certainly a highlight of the show imo. >those two episodes were hot fucking garbage anyway >that has nothing to do with the fianle itselfĮxcept for how its the mid season climax, sure. Imagine for instance if you said that a season finale of an hour long drama sucked jsut because the last 12 minutes of it were not as exciting as the other three acts.īubbled was just wrapping up what happened in 'earthlings. ![]() While it was a technical finale, it wasn't the climax, you have to remember they write these in five episode arcs.īismuth is its own climax, but the four episodes following that, not just bubbled, are the real climax to this season. >bubbled was a very anti climactic and meh season finale ![]() >muh strong fathers so we don't have sissy kids myth Like I said above, Greg is a father who doesn't want to stand in their kids way, but you can just watch the end of Fusion Cuisine where they show him disciplining Steven with grounding. He also has a job and he's voiced his concern for Steven's Gem training a couple of times already >Why doesn't Greg come to watch Steven train?īecause he doesn't want to get in the way and he finds Gem stuff to be uncomfortable. >If he lives in his van, at the very least why doesn't he live in front of the house?īecause he literally lives within walking distance from him Greg even asks Steven if he wants to go to college, but Steven said, nah I'mma just be a Kristel Germ. School is pointless, and the internet exists in the SU verse. Remember it was Steven who wanted to live with the Crystal Gems so that they could oversee his training, and Greg is a Father who doesn't want to stand in the way of his kids. >Does Greg seem to put any thought into Steven's future? You honestly sound like you belong on tumblr at this point, but I'll entertain you some more Greg is a good person, probably the best of the cast. Steven is worse off than a veteran because he would have 0 understanding of how to live post-conflict.Ġ understanding of how to live as a human in a human world. What's Steven going to do once there's no more gems to bubble? Corruption is solved? Homeworld dealt with? But that suggests that Steven would be fighting for his entire life with no end to conflict, and that just isn't so. People say that Steven doesn't need a basic education because he needs to focus on his gem training. Steven's personality also suggests that Greg probably babied/spoiled Steven. This is due to Steven hanging around the gems all the time and lacking human contact until recently. Plus there's the fact Steven has no formal education and is emotionally immature for being a 14 year old. Greg should have been the one who took the first step with settling things with Pearl, not Steven. If he were a better dad he would have made his son the priority. Greg doesn't live with his son for the sole reason that he feels uncomfortable around the gems and vice-versa. He's decent, but I'd hardly call him a good dad. >2 minute previews and screenshots from CN server (make sure to use spoiler tags when discussing) >Official airing schedule in EST (click to the right of the logo) >Upcoming graphic novel 'Anti-Gravity' available for pre-orderĬomics, soundtracks, older 720p/1080p episodes: !Y5E0BKjK!UsE19rOYDa5Ttl5QRFwgtw >Upcoming art book 'Art and Origins' available for pre-order >Issue 1 of new Steven Universe ongoing comic Mega: !bhJRnRbJ!UEKpCGi58NlxJimjTEJTRJ9ySjF1CtscJuwDD2RCFEIĭailymotion: Steven Universe 417 - Rocknaldo sug/ - Steven Universe General Anonymous 07:18:25 Post No. ![]() Also make sure you have MagicaVoxel open as well. Open up Finder on your Mac or Explorer on Windows to where your model is located. Next we are going to import the model into MagicaVoxel. The model I will be using is a Taxi model that looks like the image below. Now that you have a new model file its a very easy and straightforward process to convert your model into a voxel model. Make sure you are starting with a new project. Blender also supports exporting models in the. However, if you don’t own Maya LT you can also download Blender, a free open-source 3D modeling program. OBJ models which is what we will need when importing the model into MagicaVoxel. The thing to note here though is that it supports exporting. Maya LT is a lightweight version of Maya, a 3D modeling program. ![]() Also, the model that I’m using in the example was made in Autodesk Maya LT. We are using MagicaVoxel version 0.99.2 so if you have an older version you may want to update it so your screens match mine as we go through the tutorial. In this tutorial we will be getting an OBJ model that we made inside of Maya and importing it into MagicaVoxel so that we can convert it into a voxel model that we can edit.īefore we begin here are a few quick notes. How to Import your 3D Model into MagicaVoxel ![]() After that we will create a custom color palette for painting voxels based on the original model’s texture. Then you will import the 3D model into the MagicaVoxel editor using the built-in mesh to voxel converter to make a voxel model. To convert a 3D model into voxels you must first export your 3D model as the. So just to give a quick overview on what we will cover. However we will show you a trick later in this tutorial on how you can use your existing texture as color palette. Once your model is in MagicaVoxel it will come in usually a solid color. The other thing to note is that MagicaVoxel does not support importing textures at this time. If you can’t buy Maya LT another good option for converting is Blender. Maya has options for importing these model types and exporting them as a. DAE file type, you will first have to convert that model into an. This means that if your model is using the Autodesk. Like Qubicle, MagicaVoxel only supports the. Feel free to comment below or ask for help in our discord.Before we get started there are a few things to that you’ll have to know to take advantage of this feature. I hope this tutorial will be of any help. NO, if you're afraid to micro-manage your colors when importing objects like editing your palette file manually.for a ground map - use Zarbuz's FileToVox instead! NO, if you need bigger textures than 126 256 px wide, i.e.NO, if you're at the end of your project, with palette and materials already ordered and assigned.YES, if you use imported images as proportion canevas (like top, front, side silhouettes), don't change your color palette, and will delete these objects after use.YES, if you're planning to use small flat elements or patterns you don't want to model from scratch, and which share the same palette.YES, if you're beginning a new project, and need a color palette close to an existing reference (portrait, movie scene, landscape, etc.).Should you consider using this kind of texture import? Importing a new object from an image file To change the image resolution, use the top menu Image / Scale image. Lowering the color depth of our image allows to precisely control its render, as each color will have an equivalent in MagicaVoxel's palette. MagicaVoxel's Model editor works with a color palette of 256 colors. : Since MagicaVoxel v0.99.5, objects can now go up to 256vx in any dimension.Īnd why decrease the number of colors? Because the image we use has a color depth of 24-bit (RGB), which means a color palette of more than 16.7 millions colors. Why resize the image? Because each MagicaVoxel object cannot exceed 126 256 voxels (vx) in any dimension.Īs each pixel of an imported image fills 1 voxel of a new object, we need to resize down our image so its biggest dimension will be less than 126 256 pixels (px). To be able to import it in MagicaVoxel, we need to: The software's interface may seem complex, but don't worry, every step needed will be explained. Open the image in Gimp (if you get a dialog window about the color profile, click Keep). Let's browse, for example, and choose a simple wood plane surface like this one.ĭownload the small version: 640 x 427 pixels (px). Basal insulin can lower blood glucose levels at a relatively steady pace over a roughly 24-hour periodįor more information about the different types of insulin available to you and their respective peak times, onsets, and durations, we recommend that you read our comprehensive blog post on the subject.Intermediate-acting insulin has a peak time of anywhere from four to 10 hours.Short-acting insulin has a peak time of two to three hours.Rapid-acting insulin has a peak time of roughly 30–90 minutes.In addition to rapid-acting and basal insulin, here are the peak times for different types of insulin: This will help keep your blood glucose within your target range. If you’re prescribed rapid-acting insulin, your healthcare professional can provide instructions on timing your dosage so that its peak time aligns with your post-mealtime rise in blood sugar levels. As such, insulin peak time isn’t as important for people only on basal insulin.īy comparison, rapid-acting insulin - another commonly prescribed form of insulin - has a relatively short peak time. Since basal insulin lowers blood glucose levels over a roughly 24-hour period, its effectiveness is fairly steady with no significant peak. It’s important to know the peak for the type of insulin you take, as this can affect when you choose to schedule mealtimes and other aspects of your daily routine.įor example, it’s common for people with type 2 diabetes who are on insulin to use a basal insulin (also known as long-acting or background insulin). In this article, we’ll explain why it’s important to know the peak times of different types of insulin, as well as offer some free downloadable charts to help you stay on top of things. The other two characteristics are onset, which refers to how long it takes insulin to enter the bloodstream, and duration, which is how long insulin remains effective before it wears off. ![]() ![]() Peak time is one of three characteristics used to identify the different types of insulin. ![]() Insulin peak time refers to the amount of time it takes insulin to reach maximum impact. For people with diabetes who take insulin, it’s important to know how - and when - your insulin works. ![]() It’s fairly common to confuse a redstone ore block with a block of redstone. When placed on a block, it turns that block into a source of redstone power as long as it remains in contact with the Minecraft block.Īside from powering redstone components and blocks to create redstone circuits, redstone dust can be placed on the ground to create redstone wire. It basically has the same properties as pure redstone, which basically means it’s a working energy source. Redstone dust, as we mentioned earlier, is obtained by mining a redstone ore block using an Iron Pickaxe (or higher). Common devices to activate redstone include pressure plates, levers, and daylight sensors. Unpowered redstone provides conditional power, and can only power up a mechanism when activated. Powered redstone ore provides constant power, which can be used in devices like Redstone Torches. It can also only provide energy (or electricity) when it’s in its powered state. Unmined redstone ore is typically in its unpowered state until it’s interacted with, whether by clicking on it or walking on it. This indicates redstone ore’s two different states: powered and unpowered. If you’ve ever walked over unmined redstone ore, you’ve probably noticed how it lights up. You can mine this block with an iron pickaxe or higher to obtain redstone dust. The redstone ore – or the redstone ore block in Minecraft – is the purest source of redstone. These are Redstone Ore, Redstone Dust, and a Block of Redstone. There are three common sources of redstone (and redstone power) that are often accidentally interchanged. Just try to keep all that in mind as we dive into the details-starting with the most basic element of redstone redstone itself. It has an energy that can be transmitted to other devices in order to trigger a response. To keep things simple, we recommend continuously comparing Minecraft Redstone to electricity as we go through the related concepts. Stick around we’ll show you how you can create those builds in Minecraft, too). However, once you understand the basics perfectly, you can create some pretty incredible builds-like a Flying Machine or a Piston Door! Redstone can be a bit confusing and intimidating at first. If you don’t have any form of redstone, the machine won’t function. Redstone Components (like levers and circuits) are switches. To keep the definition simple, think of redstone as Minecraft’s version of electricity. When mined, it yields Redstone Dust, which is what is needed to make Redstone Circuits. It is typically found at the bottom of mines. Redstone is formally defined as an ore or element that is vital for most Minecraft mechanisms to operate. ![]() Here at Wordsworth, we offer masterpieces that we know you will enjoy, for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

Amazon’s arch rival in India, Flipkart, has started offering grocery deliveries in about 45 minutes, but the Walmart-owned eatiler is also not venturing into 15-30-minute deliveries for grocery and essentials. “If someone finds a sustainable way of delivering groceries in 10 minutes, we will learn from them,” he said, indicating Amazon had no immediate plans to enter the ultra-fast grocery delivery segment. There is enough space and there will be innovative models,” he said, when asked if Amazon was looking to offer quick grocery delivery service in about 30 minutes similar to Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, Blinkit and others. Tiwary said the company would continue to offer the two-hour delivery service through Amazon Fresh. We experimented with Pantry and Fresh … It was confusing for the customer and we folded it back into Amazon Fresh,” he said. “I would admit we should have had a better grocery offering quite some time back. ![]() Tiwary admitted that the company should have had a better grocery offering in place by now. ![]() In the grocery segment, Amazon is competing with many players to get mindspace from customers. In total, the ecommerce firm has pumped in more than $6.5 billion in India and will continue to invest here across segments to grow its core commerce business like grocery. It is also taking a bet on videos (Prime Video, MiniTV), voice and influencer-led commerce. According to Tiwary, the emphasis on social commerce and physical stores was an outcome of the realisation that it would need different models to cater to a market like India. ![]() Our philosophy on selection and convenience is making us double down on stores,” Tiwary said, adding that it had already onboarded 150,000-160,000 stores on the platform.Īmazon’s focus on social commerce is in line with its recent acquisition of Glowroad which has introduced a zero-commission policy since then. If you look at the seller ecosystem, there are manufacturers, traders, and then there is something which is very unique to India: 13 million stores. “For more and more people to shop with us, our seller flywheel has to move. Tiwary said Amazon could deliver within two days in 93% of the pin codes it is present in India. The Seattle-headquartered etailer said it was now looking to onboard more physical stores on its India platform to increase the number of goods that can be delivered quickly to customers. Tiwary was recently promoted to oversee all of Amazon India’s day-to-day operations with Amit Agarwal now being given an additional emerging markets role along with India, whichĮT reported on March 1. In the social commerce piece - where an uncle or an aunt or a cousin living in your building actually helps you shop - we feel very good about how we can scale it up,” he said. ![]() If you see the first part of the journey, the metro penetration moved faster. “There is a set of people that will require a local influencer to help them shop. Bengaluru: The local arm of US ecommerce major Amazon, which completed nine years of operations in India, will increase its focus on local stores and social commerce to tap into the “next 500 million consumers” in India, Manish Tiwary, country manager, India consumer business, at Amazon India, said in an interaction with ET.
