NormalMaps are textures that inherit depth information of a surface.

They don't change the structure of the model and have nearly no impact on performance.

Each pixel represents a normal vector and is composed of three colors.

These colors are representing the direction of the normal vector.



They can enhance the optical illusion of depth significantly and are especially useful on flat surfaces, that have several bumps orcracks.

As shown on the right, the elevation described by the height map can be converted to a normal map, that can be read from your graphics card inside the shader units.

When aiming for a more drastical illusion in depth, where parts could be occluding the model, you should try displacement maps

These maps really alter polygons but could decrease performance significantly!




This texture contains the distance "height" from "floor".The brighter the pixel, the further away (more depth).

In this application it doesn't matter if the values are inverted because you can change it anytime later on.The most important thing though, is the value difference between the pixels.

Ideal is a texture with pixel dimensions with a power of 2 (2, 4, 8,..., 256, 512 etc.)


If using a height map as a displacement map,you can easily see the effects on the surface.An example heightmap (left), bumps going in (top-right) and bumps going out (bottom-right) are shown in the image below.




I'm looking for a converter to make a reflection-style Java code from a normal Java code. I'm doing this to prevent exceptions like NoClassDefFoundError (I want to be dependent to a class, but I want Java to simply ignore the code if the library I'm using doesn't have that dependency class).


The core reflection facility was originally designed for component-based application builder tools... There are a few sophisiticated applications that require reflection. Examples include class browsers, object inspectors, code analysis tools, and interpretive embedded systems... if you have any doubt as to whether you application falls into one of these categories, it probably doesn't.


This might be a technically possible approach, but like other posters, I urge you to consider if this is the right way to solve your problem (and you've asked how to implement this solution rather than how to solve your original problem, so I can't really tell you if you're on the right track or not).


Are you perhaps interested in optionally depending on a library but not forcing your clients to provide it? Depending on your build system, this isn't that hard to accomplish. Maven, for example, allows you to specify a dependency as optional, which allows you to compile code against it but doesn't include it as a transitive dependency.


That being said, it is indeed possible to optionally depend on certain libraries and to take an alternate route if they're not available. In my experience, this is most easily done by hiding the details behind an interface.


As an example, I have a ProfilingAdvisor interface that works with an AspectJ aspect to profile methods I've marked with a custom annotation. I have a rudimentary implementation of this interface called SimpleProfilingAdvisor, which has no external dependencies. I have a more detailed implementation that uses the Java Simon library for additional information, called SimonProfilingAdvisor.


One last point. While you can determine a class's existence using reflection as you're suggesting, I can't think of anything you're gaining by making reflective method accesses to it after instantiation, and you're effectively bypassing the compiler's ability to so much as check your spelling on method names, etc.


Our '05 Saturn Vue V6 AWD has a busted Torque Converter&front left Brake Caliper.Saturn is hinting these are normal problems&we should foot the bill. I feel shelling out a grand for repairs for a 2 yr old car is obscene! Anyone?


No that is absolutely not within the normal range of miles for a torque converter to die. But, then again, it is also not within the normal range of miles for a powertrain warranty to be expired at only 45k/2 years.


I would suggest re-reading (or perhaps reading for the first time) the details of your various warranties. Unless GM has really cheaped out on their warranty coverage, I would think that you should be fully covered for this repair.


You are getting a major repair fixed for free, under a good will policy. They would be well with in there legal rights to deny any coverage, but they are trying to do the right thing. They are doing this for many reasons, but primarilly to keep you as a cust in the future.


Good Lord. GM is good willing a major repair on an out of warranty vehicle and yet you bad mouth the entire company.

Your attitude is really beyond asinine. No problems with Honda Motor Co., huh?

Stick a GM badge on the trunk lid and the torque converter is instant junk. Jeez.


CEL on or not, what are the symptoms, any history of fluid changes (and who did it), and if so, what kind of fluid (same special fluid as Honda cars??), or any transmission flushes at the Jiffy Lube, etc.


A very handy online text tool where you can change between lower case and upper case letters, where you can capitalize, uncapitalize, convert to mix case and transform your text. Explore the options below:


The upper case transformer will take any text that you have and will generate all the letters into upper case ones. It will essentially make all lower case letters into CAPITALS (as well as keep upper case letters as upper case letters).


The alternating case converter will allow you to transform your text (no matter the current format) into text that alternates between lower case and upper case. It will generate a capital letter and then a lower case letter within the same word.


If you are looking to widen the look of your text, the widening text generator is great for this, otherwise known as the Aesthetic Font and text generator. Simply type your normal text and see it get wider and wider.


If you want a quick way of crossing out your text, this is a great tool. Type out the normal text you want to be lined through and you will see it get automatically generated, ready for you to copy and paste.


Whether you are looking to translate morse code messages into simple english or the other way around, this online translation generator can do just that. It also comes with an audio player to hear it.


Underline your text online with this underliner tool. Write out or paste across the content you want to be underlined and then you will see it automatically generated underlined - which you can copy and paste across to where you want.


A: Converters will get red hot when excess fuel is introduced directly into it, along with sufficient oxygen to burn the fuel. This is not a problem with the converter itself, but a result of a problem with the fuel system or ignition that allows unburned fuel to pass through the engine and then travel down into the converter. If the root cause is not corrected, the new converter will melt as well.


Common causes of a melted converter are: 1) A three-way plus air vehicle is running rich, and when the air is injected into the converter, the rear brick will melt as the excessive fuel now has enough oxygen to burn inside the converter. 2) Vehicle is running rich with an exhaust leak, and when the air is drawn into the exhaust pipe and is combined with the excess fuel, it will burn in the converter. 3) The vehicle has a misfire. When the air-fuel charge leaves the combustion chamber without firing, it will travel through the exhaust pipe and burn in the converter.


A: If a converter is operated too long at a high temperature, the substrate may melt down and turn into a solid mass inside the converter. The vehicle may seem sluggish, as if there was a loss of power. Other causes might be: 1) Upstream converter has broken up and the debris has clogged a downstream unit. 2) The support mat may have become damaged and no longer retaining the brick in the correct position, allowing the brick to shift and block the exhaust flow.


A: If a replacement converter fails after a short period of time, then the root cause of the original failure has not been addressed. Some causes are contamination by silicone-based sealants; coolant leaks; oil blow by; and high sulfur fuel and/or rich fuel mixtures that form carbon deposits can quickly coat the substrate preventing it from working effectively.


A: A three-way converter (also known as oxidation/reduction converters) is designed to control levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Some three-way converters are equipped with an air injection tube, and this additional air (which comes from the air pump) assists the chemical reaction in the oxidation catalyst. Walker converters all utilize three-way catalyst technologies and operate in a two-way mode (controlling hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide) on older vehicles requiring a two-way converter.


A: Vehicles licensed outside of California, but built to California emissions standards, may have a physical difference from a vehicle built to Federal emissions standards. (If your vehicle is manufactured to California emissions standards, it may not physically use a converter that is cataloged as Federal emissions only.) You need to reference your Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label before purchasing a Walker converter. A vehicle licensed in the State of California must use a CARB-compliant converter.


A: There is no guarantee that replacing the converter will keep a fault code from coming back. If an engine performance issue exists, and it has not been repaired, the P0420/P0430 fault code may recur.


A: A P0420 low efficiency code does not always indicate that the converter needs to be replaced. On newer vehicles, a low efficiency code can occur if the exhaust feed gases are not of the proper balance to allow the converter to operate efficiently. An experienced emissions service provider may be able to identify and resolve this concern with a scan tool; however, the most effective way for most service provider to diagnose this condition is through the use of a 5-gas analyzer.
