![]() Do you think this fan deserves a prize for this encounter? There were other fortunate fans who also had the opportunity to meet the legend, and they shared their joy with fellow Twitter users. Meeting the Philadelphia 76ers legend could arguably be one of the best 80th-birthday gifts one could receive. He was at a bar in Sacramento when a man named Lin Wang walked up to him and started chatting. In the picture, Barkley is seen flashing a smile at the camera while posing with the lady. A surprising, friendlier side of Barkley made news years ago. Wang showing up for Barkley's mom's funeral, and Barkley being at his funeral. Just two people from diff walks of life in almost every imaginable way, becoming unlikely friends.Mr. Fortunately, fans shared a photograph to capture the moment. Wow.I didn't hear about this but that's one of the most beautiful stories. It’s quite amusing how even if people aren’t particularly familiar with basketball legends, they can still recognize them as basketball figures. My Mom turns 80 next month, and a great shopping experience at BBB would be an amazing birthday present.

Because my Mom met Charles Barkley at Bed Bath & Beyond. Charles Barkley met Lin Wang in a hotel bar. The weekend tear-duct check came from Shirley Wang, who told the story on WBUR's Only a Game broadcast about her dad, a cat litter scientist in Muscatine, Iowa who somehow became Charles Barkley's.

![]() However we can edit what are known as "story characters" which are characters that are the same in every game (Marcus Campbell, Ed Jones, etc.). State of Decay creates new characters through a character generation system, so modding these characters is essentially impossible for us. Without the plugin you will be unable to open and edit DDS files, which is the format used for all SoD images. Copy the plugin into the plugins directory (default C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins). It can be found here: After you download GIMP you will need a DDS plugin (found here: ). The other tool you will need is GIMP which is a free image editing program. If you use WinRAR or 7-Zip instead of SoDET then the files will all be blank and obviously useless. The reason we're using SoDET and not WinRAR, 7-Zip, or any other archiving utility is because they will not always have the necessary scripts to properly extract the files. The SoDET will allow you to extract the files from the data archives (in this case the. ![]() The first program that you will need is the " State of Decay Extraction Tool" otherwise known as SoDET. For the purposes of this guide I'll only be listing two, since we'll only be doing minor texture editing. The programs that you'll need for editing are essentially determined by what you want to edit. When you next start up the game it will use the files you put in the directories instead of the default ones. All you have to do is either pick new files or edit existing ones, rename them, then create the appropriate directories and drop the file in. In a nutshell that is what you'll be doing when you mod SoD. This essentially means that we can make rather simple changes to the game with very few resources or time investment on our part. The game engine will use resources that are in the folder before it uses resources that are in the data archives. You will not have to archive any files that you create or edit, all you'll have to do is place them in the game folder with the correct directory. The game will then use models/animations/whatever of our choosing instead of the one that is already present.įortunately for us the developers of State of Decay made it very easy for us to overwrite the existing resources in the game. ![]() However, we can change the aesthetics of the game rather easily by simply replacing the existing game resources with those of our own design. For the purposes of modding, modifying either the game engine or the scripts that the game uses is tedious and complicated. Those scripts then in turn call upon the game's resources in order to create the environment-things such as animations, character models, audio files, etc which are all located in the game's data archives (.pak files). Modding in State of Decay is rather simplistic, but understanding the basics will help you to troubleshoot what's going on in your game and why or why not you may be having difficulty in getting your mods to work.Įssentially the way State of Decay (SoD) works is that you execute the game engine, whose job it is to run the appropriate scripts in order to make gameplay happen. and use geometry nodes to attach them to the model? Would I then send the high-poly version into Substance Painter to bake displacement maps, emissive maps, etc.? And then texture the model? I've heard of triangulating the mesh in one program so that it will line up properly between other programs, at what step do I do that?Īnd then in Blender I can import the different maps, textures, etc. I'm going to go as far as I can with modeling/sculpting in Blender, and then open the file in Zbrush to add alphas and more details.ĭo I turn that high-poly sculpt from Zbrush into a lower resolution version, import it into Blender, and then do all of the retopo, UV unwrapping and UDIM creation? I know I should use decimation master to lower the polycount, would I also use that to lower the resolution enough that I can get it into Blender? Substance Painter - Texturing the model, baking?.Zbrush - Adding detail to the sculpt (scales, wrinkles, pores, skin folds, etc.).Blender - Poly modeling a base mesh, retopology, UV unwrapping, rendering, feathers/fur/hair, rigging, animation.I'm worried I'm going to do something in the wrong order and have to start from scratch because I destroyed something. I'm planning on using Blender, Zbrush and Substance Painter but I'm really confused about what the best workflow is. They don't need to be optimized for video games. Possibility to show plane only for exact views (option in references droplist).Hello! I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about 3D modeling characters to use for renders, animations and 3D printing.Edit plaсement and paint over ref images are separated to different menu commands to avoid unintentional painting. ![]() exr added to the list of extensions, acceptable for pen alpha. It works fast, but if you feel it is slow, you can turn it off in the View menu. Polygons sorted from back to front in real time for correct rendering. Correct alpha channel visualization in Paint mode for polygonal models (not voxels/surface!).Sometimes files downloaded from the internet have wrong extension. Image files recognized not by extension (that may be wrong) but by signature.Create alphas from 3D models updated - fast preview rendering (previously it was software rendering), so high-poly meshes allowed there.It is disabled by default, enable it in preferences to use. You may also add new languages support within the UI and translate any UI elements. Possibility to relocate 3DCoat's data folder in the Edit menu.A truly rich set of curves modifiers (RMB over the curve).Edge for all curve modifiers can be customized in a really rich way.New curves (enable in Preferences -> Show beta tools): This method unwraps strips of quads into accurate and straight lines. Unwrap method "To stripe" has been polished and set as default within the "Unwrap" command to be used when applicable.Extrude-like tools in retopo room are more convenient and intuitive, similar to other 3d editors.In UV settings you may control the default unwrapping method.Context sensitive RMB menu in retopo room, it is especially helpful in "Select" tool for low-poly modeling..Pose tool angle snapping problem fixed.Correct brushing on the edge of the mesh (blob effect decreased a lot).Works similar (to some degree) to poly groups. Store pose selection to layer, picking pose selection from the layer. ![]() Automatic closing the objects before the voxelization.Much more stable and powerful Geometry->Close holes.List of ghosted, isolated volumes stored into scene file (3B).Soft booleans for all primitives, volumes merging, cutoff.Depth and back plane limitations produce an accurate sharp cut. Now the shape of the cut is very uniform and accurate. CutOff in surface mode completely redone.Edge width correction for Cube mapping, dedicated settings panel for cube mapping.Moving smart materials to other folder takes less space in RMB menu, it is consolidated into a single line with the submenu.It is very important when you want to paint the materials in low quality of textures and then get high quality at the end. As soon as you change the resolution, the locked texture will be used instead of the current layer state resampling. Importing or calculation of normal map, occlusion, the cavity will lock the layer. ![]() ![]()
Still can't figure it out after this explanation? Then watch our how to play Freecell video in which we show you step by step how to solve the game. These are better than the free cells because you can move a series of several sequential cards to them at the same time. You can also use the empty spaces on the tableau as a holding place for cards.Only use the free cells when you really have no other option.The number of cards you can move at one time depends on the total number of free spaces on the board. Welcome to 247 Solitaire, the best place to enjoy classic Solitaire for players of all ages and experience levels Simply click play, and you’ll be able to play Solitaire right on your browsertotally free, no login required. You can move several cards at the same time, providing they have already been ordered sequentially.From there, you continue searching and find you can put the 2 of spades in column 5 on the ace of spades we just moved, and so on until all the cards have been cleared. So, in this game, you could move the red 5 of hearts to the black 6 of spades in column 7, freeing the ace that can then be moved to the foundation. You can move a card onto another card on the tableau providing it is 1 point higher in value and it must also be a different colour. But, it is not free yet: it has a 5 of hearts on top of it. In the above figure, you can see that three aces have already been found. So, it makes sense to start by trying to clear the aces on the tableau, then the twos and so on. The goal of Freecell is to move the cards from all 8 columns in the tableau to the 4 foundations, in series always starting with an ace and ending with a king and sorted by the 4 different suits in the deck. The " foundation”: this can be found at the top right of the screen.Here, you can temporarily place playing cards you do not need at that moment. As in Freecell, beat Bakers Game by getting all 52 cards into the four foundations in the top-right corner. It plays similarly to the card game Freecell, but in Bakers Game you must build stacks by suit, NOT by alternating color. The " free cells”: these are the 4 free cells at the top left. Bakers Game is renowned as the most difficult Freecell Solitaire variation known to man. ![]() The first 4 columns have 7 cards each and the last 4 columns have 6 cards. The “ tableau”: this is the part where 52 (shuffled) cards are arranged face up.To get a good understanding of Freecell, we will start by looking at the layout comprising the following three parts: Freecell is a card game that belongs in the category of Solitaire games and is played by one player. ![]() If you want true crown you want the guaranteed altar at the City of Gold, but if you want triple crown it will take a while but you may want Tide Pool instead. If you want a higher chance of an eggplant run you want to go Tide Pool. If you want to do something fancy like Scepter to CO you want to go temple. If you want to have the most consistent run possible until you get to CO, you probably want to go Jungle/Tide Pool (but then in CO you have to deal with stuff and it gets harder if you don'th ave the right things). And if you want a jetpack no matter what you can go to Duat. ![]() For example, if you get a jetpack you may want to go Jungle/Tide Pool due to having no crush traps and no fire that can destroy your jetpack. And because due to practice I am more consistent at Vlad skip than at any form of Ankh skip.īut that's with the mindset of going to CO every single run with the highest chance of success once you get there. I rarely do the Ankh skip, because I might miss an altar, or a shop in 4-4 (not very likely but still). Otherwise, I steal Tusk's dice, sacrifice them at the next altar (cloning one if necessary) to get climbing gloves and perform Vlad skip. If I get climbing gloves or a jetpack I change it for Volcana/Temple and I perform Vlad skip. Routes are indeed unbalanced, but that's interesting, because no runs are the same and that may make one route better than the other, given that you get good rng.įor example, for the daily challenge, my main route is Volcana/Tide Pool.

![]() When a text field is focused, just type like normal to quickly search for something. ![]() You can navigate the entire Apple TV interface using the arrow keys and the Return key. You can actually pair a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV. Unless you already have a compatible HomeKit remote that you use to manage your smart home, this route isn’t really viable. This protocol also supports audio, so if you have a remote with a microphone, that can work too.ĭespite this program being announced many years ago, there are still only a handful of options on the market and they are quite expensive. This lets them control a nearby Apple TV over the network, not using Infrared. High-end universal remotes from Savant, and a few other manufacturers, now feature native HomeKit integration. These remotes use the IR capabilities of the Apple TV to operate and have the same limitations: primarily line of sight required and the lack of microphone for voice input. Some companies are marketing third-party Apple TV remotes like this one from Salt, or a very similar model from Function. If you have an IR-based universal remote, or an old remote that you no longer use with a device, then this is the way to go. Then, it will remember those settings and you can freely control the Apple TV interface. The Apple TV will walk you through setting up each button in turn. To do this, open the Settings app and go to Remotes and Devices -> Learn Remote. However, you can actually make pretty much any IR remote control your Apple TV as tvOS includes a feature that lets it learn the IR sequences of any arbitrary remote. The Apple IR Remote just works with the fourth- and fifth-generation Apple TVs because it uses Apple’s default IR codes. And because it uses Infrared rather than Bluetooth, you’ll need line of sight to the Apple TV to use it. The remote uses a cell battery rather than charging via Lightning. Unlike the Siri Remote, you do not get volume control, a TV button, or Siri microphone input. The Apple Remote also includes a MENU button to go back and a Play/Pause toggle. Use the arrow keys in the ring to move around and then click the center button to select. This remote relies on physical buttons so there’s no trackpad frustration possible. Apple Infrared RemoteĪ remote option that is often overlooked is the ‘old’ Apple TV Remote, which Apple still sells for only $19. ![]() Outside of text input, you can use your voice to launch apps, check the weather, and search for something to watch using Universal Search. For password entry, you can speak a single character at a time. Rather than fight with the on-screen keyboard, just hold down the microphone button and say what you want to type. Go to Settings -> Remotes & Devices -> Touch Surface Tracking to change between Slow, Medium, and Fast modes which may make it easier for you to precisely navigate around the tvOS interface.Īlso, the dictation capabilities of the Apple TV remote are decent. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the remote’s trackpad in Settings. You can also scroll quickly - more than just swiping - by running your finger up and down the right edge of the trackpad.) (In most apps, you can skip back or forward fifteen seconds by clicking at the far-left or far-right of the trackpad while watching a video. If you don’t like the swiping, just tap, tap, tap, click. ![]() This mimics a D-Pad on a typical TV remote. Typically, you swipe on the trackpad to move between items and then click to select.įor more fine-grained control, you can tap (not click) the extreme top, left, bottom, and right edges to move one item in that direction. The Siri remote has four buttons and a trackpad. If you hate the Siri Remote because you find it hard to select things, these tips may help. So if you don’t like the Siri Remote, one of these options might make you happy. Whether you like it or hate it, what you might not know is there are actually many different ways to control the Apple TV. The Apple TV and Apple TV 4K use a trackpad-centric input method that inspires joy and causes frustration alike. The modern Apple TV features a very controversial remote. ![]() As business travel resumes around the world, organizations should provide this information to employees as an added precaution, before these Bulgarian cybercriminals can take advantage.
