Unity tilt shift shader guide11/19/2022 ![]() ![]() When painting using components like P3dHitScreen, you may notice your paint can appear as separate dots. when not pulling the trigger), then you will have to control the Preview setting yourself. ![]() If you want to be able to preview the painting without applying it (e.g. If you want to be able to toggle painting on and off, or associate your VR trigger pressure with paint pressure, then you will have to write a simple script to connect the two together. Keep in mind that by default both of these components paint continuously with the same pressure/strength. The Asteroid Holes demo scene shows you how this can be used. Most of the example scenes can be modified to work in VR with this change alone.Īlternatively, the P3dHitNearby component can be used, which will paint anything near the current GameObject. The Paint Between demo scene shows you how to use it, and you can apply the same approach to your VR tool. To paint in VR, you can use the P3dHitBetween component, which allows you to paint between two Transform points. For example the P3dHitScreen component uses mouse and touch data to paint, so it will not work in VR. Most of the example components and scenes that come with Paint in 3D are designed for mouse/touch inputs. VRTK), integrating them yourself should be easy enough, as the components are designed to work using any system that support inspector events, and thus they shouldn't require any code changes. While these demo scenes don't have integrations for third party VR systems (e.g. Yes, this asset has been developed and tested in VR, and supports both multi-pass & single-pass rendering modes.ĭemo scenes like VR HVLP and VR Pen show you how to implement painting using Unity's XR system. Paint in 3D doesn't know how your shader is modifying this data, so any modifications the shader performs will result in a discrepancy between where the texture is painted, and where it actually maps to when rendered with your custom shader. The reason for these requirements is that Paint in 3D applies paint to your mesh using the mesh position and UV data. If you want to paint these kinds of shaders/materials and notice this offset, then I recommend adding some kind of effect to your object when it gets painted to disguise the offset (e.g. Minor modifications would include parallax mapping shaders, tessellated displacement, heat distortion, etc. Keep in mind that shaders that perform minor modifications to the position or UV data will still work, but the paint may appear slightly offset (depending on the magnitude of modification performed). no tiling or offset).ģ - The mesh positions shouldn't be modified in any significant way. uv, uv2, texcoord, texcoord2).Ģ - The mesh UV data shouldn't be modified in any significant way (e.g. ![]() Yes, Paint in 3D is compatible with almost all custom shaders/materials.ġ - The texture you want to paint must be sampled in your shader using the mesh UV data (e.g. ![]()

Babylon dictionary of slang11/15/2022 ![]() ![]() But they are quickly disappearing from our archives. The old hierarchical systems, painfully imagined, allowed us to research in the tangled undergrowth of facts by providing logical sequences of numbers, letters or subjects, tidying up scholarly trawlings into volumes and chapters, creating indexes and tables of contents to dissect and reassemble the information. Written in our Age of Information, when the World Wide Web promises access to everything that we want to know and more, “You Could Look It Up” has an odd elegiac feel about it. Much has necessarily been left out: almanacs, biographical dictionaries, gazetteers, calendars, bibliographies, dictionaries of slang, mock reference books (like Ambrose Bierce’s “Devil’s Dictionary”), collections of proverbs, thesauruses. Explicitly borrowing the system of Plutarch (whose “Parallel Lives” explored the differences and similarities between great Greeks and their Roman counterparts) he chooses for each chapter “two more or less contemporary works on related subjects” and discusses them in their historical context, seeking to show where the ideas for the works came from and how they changed our view of the world. (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) of 1952, which seems to confirm the Cheshire cat’s dictum that “we’re all mad here.” Lynch ends, unavoidably, with Wikipedia, now in its 16th adolescent year.Īs Lynch himself explains, “You Could Look It Up” does not aim at being comprehensive. to Diderot and D’Alembert’s masterpiece of the Enlightenment, L’Encyclopédie medical manuals from Avicenna’s Kitab al-Qanun fi al-tibb of 1025 to the D.S.M. Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language repertories of censored books like the Catholic Church’s infamous Index Librorum Prohibitorum of 1559 rules of social conduct like Emily Post’s “Etiquette in Society” of 1922 geographical atlases including Abraham Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, credited with first imagining continental drift sprawling encyclopedias from Amarasimha’s Sanskrit Amarakosha of the fourth century A.D. the lexicographical volumes of what was then called the Dictionnaire de l’Académie Françoise and Dr. With admirable modesty, however, Lynch has constrained his work to just over 450 pages, in which he manages to discuss legal and scientific works like the Code of Hammurabi of the 18th century B.C. “I’ll argue,” Lynch says, “ - with only a small bit of exaggeration - that the reference book is responsible for the spread of empires, the scientific revolution, the French Revolution and the invention of the computer.” He then proceeds to unfold a sort of reference book of reference books, one of those magical volumes of infinite regress that, if it were to attain perfection, would include itself in its listing, and so on until the end of time. Jack Lynch, a professor of English at Rutgers University, Newark, and a scholar of lexicography, has written a lively and erudite history of that passion. Our passion for putting things in order has no end. Many of the fragments of clay unearthed in Sumeria (in modern-day Iraq and Kuwait), where the earliest known writing system was invented more than 5,000 years ago, belong to ancient dictionaries, ledgers and encyclopedic catalogs, from rudimentary inventories of goats and sheep to detailed chronological tables of the heroic lives and deeds of kings. ![]() Some of the earliest examples of written texts that have come down to us are proof of our passion for putting things in order. “And whatsoever Adam called every living creature,” Genesis tells us, “that was the name thereof.” In the beginning was a dictionary. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, even God submits to our chutzpah and brings to the brand-new Adam all the creatures he has made to see how Adam would define them. And yet, with stubborn pride, we see ourselves at the center of everything known and unknown, decreeing what things are, under what label they might be permitted to exist and what place they should be allotted on our library shelves. From the days of Copernicus to our own time, scientists have tried to teach us humility: that our minuscule species is only a speck on a tiny planet in one of the least important galaxies of the seemingly incommensurable universe. ![]()

When used on the RPD it gives it a hybrid between the RPD handguard and Romanian AIM foregrip. The Grip attachment for the Winchester 1200 is the Advanced Technology (ATI) shotgun foregrip, this model is also used as the attachment icon. It is featured exclusively in the campaign and is mounted on the M4A1 or the G36C. The Tasco Red Dot reflex scope is featured as the "Reflex Sight". The Trijicon 4x32 ACOG is featured as the "ACOG Scope". ![]() Also what usually is the battery compartment on real holographic sights is replaced with a combination of apparently pointless screws. This means that the reticle's settings such as brightness, size or position cannot be adjusted. There is no actual control panel or adjustment switches, only a single button on the rear panel which presumably is used to switch the device on/off. However, there are some design problems with the model. However, its frame and rear panel are mostly inspired by the EOTech EXPS2 and EOTech EXPS3. The Holographic Sight in the Remaster is a fictional model created to avoid legal complications. However, the two adjustment knobs found on the right sight of the real sight are incorrectly depicted on the left side in game. The Eotech 512 (distinguishable from the 552 model due to the lack of a night vision switch on the control panel of the 512) appears as the "Holographic Sight". The red dot sight is based on the Adco SOLO Sight System or some of its numerous copies like the Sure Shot reflex sight. The "Cleaver" is loosely based on the TOPS Knives Tidal Force Cleaver.

Back to the future 3 band11/13/2022 ![]() The author, an Australian musician who taught in the Faculty of Arts (FAC) at UPNG (the successor of the original NAS) from 1992 until 2000, interviewed members of the original band, including Tony Subum and Thomas Komboi, as well as former NAS faculty member Les McLaren and others who had taught them. The very name of the band-Sanguma-the Tok Pisin word for supernatural “poison” or magic, evoked both ancestral power and the potency of music to transport the listener to another reality. How the music of Sanguma- based on a fusion of traditional PNG musical forms and progressive jazz performed on both traditional and Western instruments by musicians in traditional PNG bilas (feather headdresses and pig’s tusk ornaments)-encapsulated those hopes and created a style that reflected that ethos is the subject of Crowdy’s book. The members of the original band were students at the newly established NAS and came from many different regions across PNG, facts that were important to both the band’s musical style and its ethos. ![]() The broadest importance of the book is its evocation of that nascent period in the country’s history and the role Sanguma-and the National Arts School-played in it. So too does his analysis of the factors-most significantly, local forms of neoliberal capitalism- that contributed to the band’s eventual demise. Crowdy’s historical and musical analysis of Sanguma provides a welcome and compelling case study from a Pacific nation of this concept. That idea provides the thesis for Crowdy’s book as well as his argument for the role music can play in national identity, a concept prevalent in ethnomusicology today (think of the role of reggae in Jamaica or calypso in Trinidad). ![]() The band Sanguma and its distinctive fusion style were very much products of that post-independence moment that gave birth to the young nation’s hopes for a new pan-Papua New Guinea national identity. I was also transported “back to the future”-1975, when Papua New Guinea achieved independence and the nation’s future as it was envisioned in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the historical period that Crowdy analyzes in Hearing the Future. Listening to the ethereal sounds of Sepik bamboo flutes alternating with jazz riffs played on trumpet and keyboard transported me back to my first visit to Port Moresby, the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG), and the National Arts School (NAS), where I had purchased the cassette en route to fieldwork on Manam Island. ![]() I then had to find a cassette player, buried away in the garage, on which to play it. Reading Denis Crowdy’s book, Hearing the Future: The Music and Magic of the Sanguma Bandabout the internationally acclaimed Papua New Guinea band popular during the 1980s, led me to dig out my copy of their first cassette, the eponymously titled Sanguma, that I had bought when I first arrived in PNG in 1978.

Mariah carey hero mtv video11/13/2022 ![]() ![]() I llloooovvveee me some mariah carey Comment by Nada. Is beatifull, i love ❤️❤️❤️ Comment by Emily Martinez Love love love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Comment by dwi setiya pranataīeautiful voice and music □□□□□□□□□ Comment by Welson Roberto The people there were lucky to have witnessed Mariah at her prime. Still a young vocalist at that time, Mimi just stood there and gave it her all. Khashoggi’s fiancee has told The Associated Press she will keep speaking out in the hopes of giving voice to those who remain imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for expressing their opinion.Mariah has sang "Hero" for 20 million times, but this performance stands out from the rest. Saudi Arabia held a trial for some of those involved in his killing, sentencing five to deathbefore sparing them of execution. Khashoggi had been writing columns for The Washington Post criticizing the crown prince’s brash foreign policy moves and simultaneous crackdown on activists and perceived critics, including women’s rights activists, writers, clerics and economists. Next month’s F1 race will be the first time Saudi Arabia hosts the premier sporting event, though the kingdom has hosted the lesser known Formula-E race in past years in an effort to raise the country’s profile as a tourist destination.Īt the time of Khashoggi’s killing, the crown prince was being lauded for ushering in social reforms transforming life for many inside the country. The kingdom’s General Sports Authority argues thatsports is a tool for social changewithin the kingdom. Saudi youth are the main attendees of these concerts, enjoying the country’s newfound social changes that allow for music and gender mixing. Human Rights Watch has also called on Bieber and the other performers to pull out of the F1 concerts in Saudi Arabia, saying these events are aimed at “sportwashing” by diverting attention and deflecting scrutiny from Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. Public filings show the Saudi wealth fund is now the second largest institutional holder in Live Nation, with a stake worth some $1.4 billion. After topping charts, filming and directing multiple music videos for well-acclaimed songs such as 'Vision of Love' and 'Fantasy' throughout the 1990s, Carey made her big-screen debut in. ![]() As Live Nation’s shares plummeted last year during COVID-19 lockdowns and the cancellation of thousands of shows, the Public Investment Fund bought $500 million worth of shares in the battered company. American singer Mariah Carey has had an extensive career in film and television throughout her career, in addition to 'hundreds of music videos, a dozen or so feature films, and several TV guest-appearances'. In the time since, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned sovereign wealth fund - steered by Prince Mohammed - scooped up shares in Live Nation, the company that owns Ticketmaster and promotes concerts for Bieber and other major stars. Mariah makes a surprise appearance on TRL in 2001, and goes a bit berzerk in the process. “Nothing of significance happens in Saudi Arabia without his consent, and certainly not an event as important and flashy as this.”īieber’s concert in Saudi Arabia comes shortly before he opens a world tour in February that was rescheduled from 2020 due to the pandemic. “Please know that your invitation to participate in a concert in Jiddah comes directly from MBS, as the crown prince is known,” Cengiz wrote in her open letter to Bieber. intelligence assessmentmade public under President Joe Biden, however, determined the crown prince approved the operation. ![]() Prince Mohammed has maintained he had no prior knowledge of the operation that killed Khashoggi. The killing by agents who worked for the crown prince drew international gasps and cast a shadow over Prince Mohammed, whose reputation never fully recovered. She waited from him outside the consulate, but he never walked out. Khashoggi’s stunning killing in 2018was carried out by members of a team of 15 Saudi government agents who’d been sent to Istanbul, where the writer and former government spokesman had an appointment at the Saudi consulate for documents needed to marry Cengiz. Public pressure, however, prompted Nicki Minaj in 2019 to cancel her appearance on stage at a concert in Jiddah, telling The Associated Press at the time she wanted to show support for women’s rights, gay rights and freedom of expression. She brushed off calls to boycottthe show. Mariah Carey was the biggest-name performer to hit the stage in Saudi Arabia after Khashoggi’s killing by Saudi agents in Turkey in October 2018. It is not the first time a pop star has faced pressure to pull out of a concert in Saudi Arabia. ![]() |
