![]() ![]() On the gameplay front, meanwhile, the remake utilizes the motion matching technology Naughty Dog used for The Last of Us Part 2, which should hopefully mean much smoother and organic gameplay animations and, in turn, much more fluid gameplay and movement. More minute details in those animations that were missing in the original game are captured in the remake, which, according to the developers, lends much greater nuance and depth to the performances of the actors. The Last of Us Part 1 is making quite a few improvements with animations, especially where facial animations during cutscenes are concerned. ![]() This is another point that Naughty Dog has emphasized while speaking about the remake. Compared side-by-side, it’s abundantly clear that The Last of Us Part 1 is making impressive improvements to the original’s visuals, from character models and environments to lighting and much more. Being a remake of a game that’s not even a decade old and still looks really good (especially if you’re talking about the PS4 remaster), there isn’t a huge gap between the visuals of the original and the remake- though there is still a significant one. Let’s start off with the most obvious and apparent upgrade The Last of Us Part 1 was making. Here, we’re going to take a look at a few key things that you should know about The Last of Us Part 1. Regardless of what side of the fence you fall on, however, Naughty Dog and Sony have revealed plenty of details about the remake in the lead-up to its imminent launch, talking about how it’s improving upon the original game- and how it isn’t. The Last of Us Part 1 has generated a great deal of conversation since its announcement, and whether or not it’s going to be a game worth buying at its price is something that has strongly divided people.

This will add 50 blocks of your new material to your inventory. To do this, open Minetest's terminal (inside the game, press F10) and type /giveme personal:reinforced_steel 50 (if the engine complains, give yourself give privileges with /grantme give). Open your text editor, and copy what you see in Listing 1. Let's see how that works by building a basic node. All physical things in a Minetest world, including invisible ones, are nodes, and every different kind of node is defined by a mod. Speaking of which, the basic building block, never better said, of Minetest modding is the node, a glorified table. Unsurprisingly, the Minetest modding API relies heavily on tables. Even Lua's pseudo object-oriented programming paradigm is table-based. Lua tables combine the features from arrays, associative arrays, lists, dictionaries, and so on from other languages into one powerful data structure. To program mods, you use Lua, a high-level language vaguely reminiscent of Python.Īlthough we won't go into Lua in much depth here (there are plenty of good guides and tutorials online), it is worth mentioning that in Lua it is all about tables. Minetest has made the API for creating mods part of its framework from the beginning. For us tinkerers, that feature would be the mod system, and making your own mods is relatively easy. Although Minetest's gameplay is great, it is not, I think, the most interesting feature. Making Your Ownīut, again, you are just playing someone else's game. If you want the whole survival experience, get yourself some monsters from GitHub and the Minetest Wiki and battle it out against zombies, ghosts, and all sorts of creepy-crawlies. In the mobs_animal directory, you'll find a README document describing different ways you can interact with your four-legged friends. Then, right-click it with shears, and you'll get colored wool. Right-click a sheep with a dye, and you will change its color. For example, right-click a cow with an empty bucket, and you'll get milk. Many animals, like cows, pigs, warthogs and sheep, give meat when they are killed, or other products when they are right-clicked. ![]() Do the same with the mobs_animal mod.įigure 3: It is exciting to meet your first cow.

Let's grab some animals, shall we? Notice that, apart from the minetest/ directory in /usr/share, you also have a hidden. However, if you want to get into some serious gameplay before tailoring, head over to the Minetest website to see what's available. This is by design: The creators of Minetest assume you are going to want to tailor your experience, so they give you the bare minimum, and it is up to you to bring in (or create, as you shall see later) your own modifications. You have a nice variety of materials and things you can craft, but, for example, there are no animals and no monsters. The default world that comes with Minetest is basic. A "world" in Minetest is, to all practical effects, its mods. You'll see that the brunt of bringing the game to life is born by the files in the mods/ directory. ![]() If you have installed Minetest from your distro's repositories, look into your /usr/share/minetest/games/minetest/ directory.

Making fake nails at home can be a fun and creative way to achieve the perfect manicure. How to Make Fake Nails: Step-by-Step Process Remember, mastering the art of making fake nails at home may take practice, so be patient and follow the instructions carefully. If you desire colorful or artistic nails, consider using your favorite nail polish to paint over the fake nails after the application is complete. In case you need to remove any leftover nail polish or clean up any mistakes, acetone acts as a potent solvent to do the job effectively. A base coat creates a strong foundation for the gel application. Once you have applied the gel extensions, seal them with a top coat to enhance durability and protect against chipping or peeling. These wipes also come in handy for cleaning your brushes between uses. Keep your workspace clean by using lint-free wipes to remove any excess products during the application process. To apply acrylic or gel products precisely and uniformly, invest in a good-quality nail brush with soft bristles. Nail Primer (for acrylic nails)Īpplying a nail primer before acrylic application promotes adhesion and prevents lifting, ensuring the extensions stay intact for an extended period. Be cautious while cutting to achieve a natural and even look. Trim the nail tips to your preferred length. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles and create a smooth canvas for the artificial nails.

If you opt for gel nail extensions, you’ll need a UV or LED lamp to cure the gel, setting it into a solid state. This popular method enables you to craft durable and strong nail extensions. Acrylic Powder and Liquid (for acrylic nails)Īcrylic nails are made by combining acrylic powder with liquid monomer, creating a malleable mixture that hardens when exposed to air. Choose a high-quality nail glue for maximum adhesion. Nail GlueĪ vital component to ensure a secure and long-lasting bond between the artificial nail and your natural nail bed. Nail forms, on the other hand, allow you to custom-create extensions with acrylic or gel, offering more flexibility in shaping and length. Nail tips, available in various shapes and lengths, provide a quick and easy way to achieve instant extensions. To create stunning fake nails at home, gather the necessary supplies: Nail Tips or Nail Forms ![]() However, note that making fake nails at home requires some skill and practice, so be patient and follow instructions carefully for the best results. Another option is using gel nail extensions, where you apply a gel mixture onto your natural nails and cure it under a UV or LED lamp. One common technique is using press-on nail kits, which come with pre-designed nails that can be easily applied using adhesive tabs or nail glue.Īlternatively, you can use acrylic nail kits to apply and shape acrylic nails on your own.

Transposon integration by targeted transposases has been used to identify genomic regions in several contexts. BAP1 mutations have been found in other aggressive cancers, including skin-derived melanomas, mesotheliomas, and renal cell carcinomas, suggesting a general role for BAP1 as a suppressor of metastasis in cancer. Loss of BAP1 causes UM cells to assume a rounded, epithelioid morphology, to deposit distinctive extracellular matrix materials, and to grow well under clonogenic conditions, and BAP1-depleted UM cells display increased diapedesis through endothelial monolayers in a cell-culture model of transendothelial migration, which may reflect their ability to metastasize. Over 95% of class 2 UMs show complete loss of expression of BAP1 protein, with inactivating somatic mutations in the BAP1 gene in 80% of these tumors. Class 2 UMs have a dismal prognosis they are high-grade, aggressive and nearly always metastasize. Class 1 UMs have a favorable prognosis the cancers are low-grade, indolent, and rarely metastasize. UMs can be divided into two classes by molecular and genetic analysis of the tumor. Melanomas arising from the pigmented layers (uvea) of the eye are highly aggressive cancers: almost half of patients with uveal melanoma (UM) die from metastatic disease, even after the primary tumor is completely removed by surgical excision of the eye, because we are unable to prevent or treat metastatic spread of the cancer. The HCFC1 subunit is a transcriptional co-activator that can bind transcription factors such as E2F, YY1, and Ets-related transcription factors however, its role in targeting BAP1 to chromatin has not been fully elucidated. This complex, a component of the polycomb pathway, removes mono-ubiquitin from histone H2A. The BAP1 polypeptide is the catalytic subunit of the polycomb-repressive deubiquitinase complex, which requires either ASXL1 or ASXL2, and which can include HCFC1, OGT and other factors. This technique has generated a new and expanded list of BAP1 targets in UM that provides important insight into metastasis pathways and identifies novel potential therapeutic targets.īAP1 is a histone deubiquitinase that remodels chromatin to regulate gene expression. The calling card methodology works equally well for chromatin regulatory factors that do not interact directly with DNA as for transcription factors. Further, a subset of the BAP1 genomic target genes was able to discriminate aggressive tumors in published gene expression data from primary UM tumors. ![]() Sequence consensus analysis of BAP1-bound sites showed enrichment of motifs specific for YY1, NRF1 and Ets transcription factors, which have been shown to interact with BAP1 in other cell types. BAP1-bound genomic loci showed narrow distributions of insertions and were near transcription start sites, consistent with recruitment of BAP1 to these sites by specific DNA-binding proteins. We found a strong correlation between multiple calling-card transposon insertions targeted by BAP1-PBase and BAP1-responsive expression of adjacent genes. Sets of significant genes were analyzed for common pathways, transcription factor binding sites, and ability to identify molecular tumor classes. We also examined RNA expression in the same OCM-1A UM cells after BAP1 depletion to identify BAP1 binding sites associated with BAP1-responsive genes. The insertion of transposons near BAP1 binding sites in UM cells were identified by genomic sequencing. The transposase piggyBac (PBase) was fused to BAP1 and expressed in OCM-1A UM cells. ![]() This system was developed to identify the genomic loci visited by transcription factors that bind directly to DNA our study is the first use of the system with a chromatin-remodeling factor that binds to histones but does not interact directly with DNA. We have used the “Calling Card System” of transposase-directed transposon insertion mapping to identify the genomic targets of BAP1 in uveal melanoma (UM). BAP1 is a histone deubiquitinase that acts as a tumor and metastasis suppressor associated with disease progression in human cancer. ![]() Visit developers site = A link to the software developer site.ĭownload (mirror link) = A mirror link to the software download.

The development of halftone printing methods for lithography appears to have followed a largely independent path. The use of halftone blocks in popular journals became regular during the early 1890s. The relief halftone process proved almost immediately to be a success. Shortly afterwards, Ives, this time in collaboration with Louis and Max Levy, improved the process further with the invention and commercial production of quality cross-lined screens. ![]() He was the first to achieve any commercial success with relief halftones. He used single lined screens which were turned during exposure to produce cross-lined effects. His invention was based on the previous ideas of Berchtold and Swan. In 1882, the German Georg Meisenbach patented a halftone process in Germany which he named autotype. Although he found a way of breaking up the image into dots of varying sizes, he did not make use of a screen. The first truly successful commercial method was patented by Frederic Ives of Philadelphia in 1881. ![]() The New York Daily Graphic would later publish "the first reproduction of a photograph with a full tonal range in a newspaper" on Ma(entitled "A Scene in Shantytown") with a crude halftone screen. The first printed halftone photograph was an image of Prince Arthur published on October 30, 1869. One of the first attempts was by William Leggo with his leggotype while working for the Canadian Illustrated News. Several different kinds of screens were proposed during the following decades. In an 1852 patent he suggested using "photographic screens or veils" in connection with a photographic intaglio process. William Fox Talbot is credited with the idea of halftone printing. The half-tone process overcame these limitations and became the staple of the book, newspaper and other periodical industry. Commercial printers wanted a practical way to realistically reproduce photographs onto the printed page, but most common mechanical printing processes can only print areas of ink or leave blank areas on the paper and not a photographic range of tones only black (or coloured) ink, or nothing. Previously most newspaper pictures were woodcuts or wood-engravings made from hand-carved blocks of wood that, while they were often copied from photographs, resembled hand drawn sketches. While there were earlier mechanical printing processes that could imitate the tone and subtle details of a photograph, most notably the Woodburytype, expense and practicality prohibited their being used in mass commercial printing that used relief printing. A multicolor postcard (1899) printed from hand-made halftone plates. History The first printed photo using a halftone in a Canadian periodical, October 30, 1869. Since the location of the individual dots cannot be determined exactly, the dots partially overlap leading to a combination of additive and subtractive color mixing called Autotypical Color Mixing. The semi-opaque property of ink allows halftone dots of different colors to create another optical effect: full-color imagery. Just as color photography evolved with the addition of filters and film layers, color printing is made possible by repeating the halftone process for each subtractive color – most commonly using what is called the " CMYK color model". At a microscopic level, developed black-and-white photographic film also consists of only two colors, and not an infinite range of continuous tones. This reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion: when the halftone dots are small, the human eye interprets the patterned areas as if they were smooth tones. Where continuous-tone imagery contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to an image that is printed with only one color of ink, in dots of differing size ( pulse-width modulation) or spacing ( frequency modulation) or both. "Halftone" can also be used to refer specifically to the image that is produced by this process. Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect. Right: Example of how the human eye would see the dots from a sufficient distance. This article is about the graphic technique. |
