Blue Archive 7-5 Normal

[Jennell Venier]

sinceyou mentioned me, Affinity Photo is to a certain grade with what it provides with a bit of trickery of layers, styles and blendings able to mimic the result of Normalmaps. Serif did imo a great job so far in providing the tools and its up to us users to bend the tools to get results which developers havent implemented.

For turning images easily into normalmaps without a lot of manual editing, there would be quite a need for far stronger macro abilities, so far I wasnt able to get further in the image conversion than what you can see in the below image.

you could also give, if you have an Nvidia card in your device, the NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop a chance, it can break and is quite old but it somehow seems to work a bit with Affinity Photo. -texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

There is actually a simple trick to do that with FX. You need to layer to fx, to do that you need to groups and place your shapes below. The shapes need to have the default normal map color. Then you need a bevel effect on both groups with 45 45 light and then second with -45 the first will have green vs pink and then second blue vs. white. and both FX groups need to use overlay.

Whenever I use Affinity Photo, the colors always appear darker/desaturated for some reason and I don't know why it does that. No matter what I can think of to try and get the colors look more normal/saturated, nothing works. I wanted to see if this problem was because of my computer so I used Photoshop to see if I have the same color problem. However the colors there appear more bright and saturated like it should have appeared. The two picture I uploaded below show how the colors appears on both Affinity Photo and Photoshop. As you can see the colors in Affinity Photo for some reason appear more desaturated and darker while the colors in Photoshop are more brighter and saturated. Please help me to figure out how to fix this problem of the default colors being more desaturated than normal.

The color you see (on Windows) depends on what profile you installed (monitor-specific vs. generic Windows), what profile is embedded, and if the viewer software uses the profile.

If, for example, AP looks different from IrfanView, that's probably because IV ignores embedded profiles, out of the box, and AP applies it.

Color is a much more complex topic than most people think. In fact there are two different kinds of color mixing: the colors of light and body colors (the colors of objects). The first one is the more important one, because without light even objects wouldn't have any color. The colors of objects are only a part of the light colors that are reflected from their surface. The other light colors are absorbed by the surface.

As we know since Isaac Newton, the white daylight consists of light beams of all colors. The colored light beams add each other to white light. So this kind of color mixing is also called "additional color mixing". If light falls on objects, they only reflect a part of the light, depending on the characteristics of their surface. For example, if an object only reflects blue and absorbs red, yellow and other colors, it looks blue. Because in this case colors are subtracted, it is also called "subtractive color mixing".

The basic colors of additive color mixing are red, green and blue (RGB). The basic colors of subtractive color mixing are cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY). So those are also the basic colors in printing. Because you can't mix real black with cyan, magenta and yellow (in the best case only a dark grey), in printing also an additional color is used. The so called "Key color": black. So you get four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black = CMYK. The white comes from the paper you are printing on.

RGB (the light colors) has much more colors than CMYK (the body colors). Because of this, the colors of the CMYK-Colorspace are always less brilliant than the ones of RGB. So it makes a difference if you watch your images in RGB or CMYK on screen.

Yep. Where it says "CMYKA/8 - US Web Coated (SWOP) v2", that means you are using a CMYK colour profile in Affinity Photo. Your image file is in RGB, but it's getting converted to the CMYK colour space of your document when you import it. It looks 'duller' because CMYK has a more limited colour spectrum and can't reproduce all of the RGB tones.

It might be wise to re-import your image file after you've done that (although I think Affinity stores the original RGB data - but definitely reimport if you previously rasterised it, as you can't get back what was lost in the initial RGB to CMYK conversion).

The scientific objective of SPRITE SPECTRA-II is to determine the physical processes involved in sprites, and in particular the ionization of molecules in the blue part of the light spectrum. The blue light cannot be adequately observed from ground-based measurements, or by viewing through the normal GV windows as was done in the 2009 SPRITE SPECTRA flights. The sprites typically start 70-80 km above thunderstorms and move downwards over a 50 km altitude range.

SPRITE SPECTRA-II will use the NSF/NCAR GV to fly as high as possible at about 200 km distance from thunderstorms and will likely target Mesoscale Convective Systems, MCS, due to their high number of lightning strikes.

SPRITE SPECTRA-II is based on an already NSF-funded project through ATM Aeronomy. The instrument package consists of two cameras mounted with the same viewing axis. One (the imager) will be mounted inside a normal GV window, the other (the spectral instrument) will view through a new side-looking optical window, thus extending the transmissivity down to about 275 nm by using fused silica window panes. The fused silica window panes have almost 100% transmissivity well below the atmospheric limit of 360-370 nm for severe absorbtion. The side-looking optical window will be a RAF development project which requires a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) The PIs need to be able to change the elevation angle and the heading angle of the instruments by about 30 degrees to point effectively at the sprite region above thunderstorms. EOL will manufacture automated pivoting mounts for both cameras and mount them on two half-height rack.

Stephens Auditorium will benefit from tickets sold for a Dec. 20 concert, A Virtually Celtic Christmas (7 p.m., filmed at the National Opera House of Ireland). Tickets are $25, with several upgrades available. The holiday concert features the voice of Irish tenor Michael Londra, who now calls Ames home, backed by the Irish Concert Orchestra, two nationally acclaimed choirs (Valda Choir and The Presentation Children's Choir) and guest singers and musicians from Ireland.

The next event in the Professional and Scientific Council's seminar series will be held Tuesday, Dec. 8 (2-3 p.m., via Adobe Connect). Learn how to build partnerships on campus using the Partnerships in Educational Settings framework with Maureen Griffin, program specialist in biotechnology, and Eric Hall, professional development consultant for the university. All seminars this fall are livestreamed and the recorded session posted in Learn@ISU approximately one week later.

SHOP, the student food pantry, will be open during winter break on most Tuesdays and Fridays (10 a.m.-2 p.m., 1306 Beyer). Before heading over, check SHOP's website for up-to-date hours and details. How does it work? It's quick, easy and tailored to your needs:

Students in need of meals over the winter break are encouraged to contact one of the partner offices listed below to get access to ISU Dining's Give A Swipe program, in which meal-plan students may donate unused meals or Dining Dollars for their peers. Those donations turn into swipes at a dining center.

Training is scheduled Dec. 15-18 (9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily, virtual) for faculty and staff who want to join the university's Green Dot facilitator team. In addition to participating in a monthly 30-minute meeting of facilitators, these volunteers promote the Green Dot personal violence prevention program across campus and lead program overviews and training, typically one or more each semester. Online registration closes at 8 a.m. Dec. 7. Because of the Big 12 Violence and Discrimination Awareness and Prevention Fund, facilitator training can be offered at no cost to participants. Questions may be directed to Emily Miller, student wellness, or nicci port, office of diversity and inclusion.
