The second reason I love the change is that it allows you to be in that world for no reason at all, to run for the pure pleasure of running. Catalyst's greatest strength is still the feeling of movement. The pit-pat, pit-pat of my feet against concrete builds until I start to hear the whoosh of wind past my ears as I reach top speed, and then I'm gone, lost in the flow of the game. Slide under that vent, leap over the next, use a box as a springboard to reach a high platform, rebound off a wall to grab a ledge behind me, grab a zipline and repeat. It's exhilarating.
The rest of the time combat is as big a pain as it ever was. You can combine strong and light attacks, exploit moments in which your opponent is stunned, bump them into one another, bounce off the environment for stronger hits, and knock people over ledges, but none of these things feels fun to do. Animations are slow and the game occasionally struggles to sync up different character movements, robbing you of strikes. The rest of the time, it cheats. Kick an enemy towards a railing and he'll move slowly towards it then dramatically throw himself into it, like a stunt actor trying to sell a strike more than it was worth. Enemies cheat similarly in their attacks against you, with bullets sometimes coming out of their backs and high kicks auto-targeting towards you even as you strafe out of their way.
It even commits a few cardinal sins, including every variation on bad checkpointing: it places them before short cutscenes in a few instances, too far apart in another complicated combat-and-climbing section, and then at other times loads you right back to the edge you fell off even though that might leave you in the direct firing line of multiple turrets with no momentum to escape. Throw in the disappointing habit of moving to third-person not just for cutscenes but for enemy introductions and heavy-handed tutorialising and even the aesthetic purity of the original seems diluted. All of which, the second time around, makes me less want to champion Catalyst for the next eight years.
My goal would be really to obtain a mirror edge. Which of the two approaches would you recommend? Start stropping after the 1000 grid stones or also use the 1200/1600 stones? Is stropping even necessary after using the 1600 stones?
If you are going for absolute perfection in your mirror (with little or no errant scratches), I personally recommend the diamond compounds and/or Choseras over the ceramics. Even the diamonds and Choseras make different mirrors, though! ?
Diamond plates tend to make edges that are rather toothy and somewhat serrated. They pass hair cutting tests because the grooves cut into the edge are clean due to no breakdown. These edges are more aggressive.
However when you switch over to Choseras, you still get some serrations due to the large grit size breaking off the bits of the thinning edge, but the overall surface is much more consistent. These edges are smoother.
It sounds like ZDP-189 and other abrasion resistant steels might best be tackled with the WEPS by using the diamonds down to 1000 grit (7 micron) and then the 5 and 3.5 micron strops. Perhaps adding the 1 and .5 strops for a really fine mirror.
Faith infiltrates Ropeburn's office and overhears him on the phone, realizing that he's the one who framed her sister and that he's setting up a meeting downtown. Faith once again meets Miller to tell him this. Miller pulls a gun on her, telling her that he's being pressured by private firms who want to install more security on the city and that the only way he can get them of his back is to hand her over. Faith escapes and goes to the meeting. She gets the upper hand and interrogates Ropeburn. As he's hanging off the ledge of the skyscraper, he's shot by a masked sniper before he can tell Faith any pertinent information. She later intercepts Jacknife, convinced that he was the one who tipped off the cops that she was coming. He rejects the accusation, saying that if he had wanted her dead he would have done it himself.
The show's title 'Mirror's Edge' refers to Foucault's analysis of Velàzquez' painting Las Meninas (1656) in which the painter looks back at the viewer, but seemingly also at the royal couple (who we see mirrored in the back of the room), thus confusing hierarchies and levels of representation. Enwezor does not tie into the game of representing 'marginalised positions' for the sake of selling indulgences to saturated white souls. Instead, a global import/export map of artistic languages is laid out and filled in, establishing a sense of self-explanatory kinship along the way.
These kaleidoscopic works (along with those of Thomas Hirschhorn, Carlos Garaicoa or Pascale Marthine Tayou) seem to opt, like Alice, for what lies behind the mirror's edge. Another strand in the show deals with the dead angles that lie between infinite reflections, like those of Ceal Floyer or Liisa Roberts. Francis Alÿs was represented with Cantos Patrioticos (Version Mariachis) (1998-99), a video of Mariachi musicians playing a song about a snake biting its tail, or trying to stop cars in the heavy Mexico City traffic for a paid serenade; suddenly the music stops, the image freezes, and, on the other side of the room, a video-projection of a group of people playing musical chairs starts up.
I've been using AE for about a week and a half now, and generally I've been figuring stuff out pretty well. But one thing I can't seem to find any solution (that works) for, is the mirror image effect. In all the tutorials on YouTube I watch they say to add motion tile and put mirror image on, but when I do it the exact same way they do, it doesn't change anything. I made this little composition to take a screenshot and show you that even without any other effects (except looks so that the video can be seen better against the black), it isn't doing anything it's supposed to. I'm still new and learning so it might be a really simple and obvious thing I haven't done, but any help is very appreciated anyway!
I'm not clear what you expect. Apparently from your image the black frame is part of the clip and that means you won't see anything because everything happens outside the actual comp window. You seem to have a wrong understanding of the process. And yes, of course pplying an effect like MBL directly may override other effects, too. Your setup simply doesn't make a lot of sense. Start by actually pre-composing your clip to crop it to the desired size, then use the result in a parent comp to accommodate your mirroring. Rinse-repeat for potential issues with MBL. This is basic stuff. You should definitely read the online help. A lot of stuff in AE is not intuitive and simply cannot be figured out on the fly, contrary to your current approach of just muddling through...
You have not done anything to the settings. If you want 3 copies of your layer horizontally and vertically then you have to change the output height and width to 300. If you want to keep the layer size the same but make more copies you have to change the tile width and height. Think of those values as percentages. When you post screenshots please select the problem layer and press 'uu' to show is all modified properties. Motion tile works on layer size so if you have added a mask, you will not have edges that match up.
following issue: a body, splited in half to modelling just one side. After mirroring (same plane like the split plane) and merging(Combine feature) this two bodyies together there is still a "edge" (see Pictures). I'm running into the same issue with patch modelling(using stitch feature). I would expect after stiching, "booleaning" two bodies I have one curvature constant object without any edges! Btw: Ididn't touch the edges on the mirror plane What I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to get rid of the "edge"? Is there a better workaround?
Some Edges/seams are essential to defining form. That said, in some circumstances, Fusion will do a good job approximating geometry when a Face or Edge is deleted, but the geometry will shift- a little or a lot. This may be exploited on occasion to remove noise. You may find some operations- such as Fillet -fail in the presence of an Edge, even if centrally located as a seam- another valid reason to spend time removing them.
While there are reasons for concern, appearance of the finished part need not be if the transition was modeled smoothly. I like to test parts by switching to the Render workspace and rotating the light source and messing with the exposure levels to place reflections across the area in question- something greatly aided by the application of a reflective Appearance, such as Polished Aluminum or Plastics. Editing an Appearance, you can manually maximize reflectivity. Often performing an In-Canvas Render isn't even necessary- but when things are smooth, I'll run one.
When absolutely necessary to have no seam- and there is no other recourse -I'll recreate the surface in the Sculpt workspace using the extant Body as a form to Pull Points to, Match edges, etc.
Polish: A polished edge presents as a translucent, semi-reflective, greenish or bluish tint. A polished edge will feel very smooth, similar to the face of the glass. The faint greenish or blueish tint is the natural color of the glass when viewed in profile.
Flat Polish: A Flat Polish edge presents as a trapezoidal shape, similar to a flat-topped pyramid. Flat Polished edges will also have the same semi-reflective, greenish or blueish tint inherent to all polished edges. A Flat Polished edge is a good choice if the edge of your glass will be exposed to view.
Flat Grind: A Flat Grind edge presents as the same trapezoidal shape as the Flat Polish edge, however with a matte and opaque appearance, and texture similar to that of sandpaper. The greenish or bluish tint will be more faint and less noticeable compared to a Flat Polish edge. A Flat Grind edge is a good choice if the edge of your glass will be exposed to view.
