Otherwise the unity toon shader is enough, it give you the outline and you can draw the ramp to get the desired result. So it will index the UV width (which is in the 0-1 range) with its result, 0 meaning away from light and 1 meaning directly in front, so the texture beginning is away (generally shadow) and the end is front (lighted part), the middle being the transition. Ramp are basically using the dot result as an indexing, You need to scale the ndotl though to get the full range, ie it normally range from -1 to 1, generally clamp between 0 and 1, we need to offset first to the range 0 to 2, then bringing back into the 0 -1 range by multiplying by 0.5. You can also use a ramp to control both the fresnel and the diffuse (basically a texture with a height of 1 and as long a width as you want for storing the gradient, you can store the diffuse ramp and the fresnel ramp on a 2 pixel height, the use the height 0 for applying the nodtl and the height 1 to control the ndotv). I advise having a step based fresnel (ndotv) -> if fresnel > threshold then show diffuse else show white. Shader can be ndotl masking a pattern projected base on screen UV, then multiplying the result with the diffuse. color shift (big soft grandienty subtle random shape)Īmbient occlusion is generally baked from hi poly, with the absence of hi poly you can baked the hi poly, then find the normal map ambient occlusion and blend the two. ![]() I want to elaborate on that, it's one hour video, the relevant part start at ~20:00Ģ. The objective should be to translate shading into ramped tones of the underlying UV map colors, as opposed to hard shadows. This is a much more technically demanding solution, but it will offer you the best results. Your best bet is to write some custom shaders. But it is also one of the least flexible approaches, and won't take advantage of dynamic lighting. Painting the shadows onto your model is one approach. Having this level of control over the lighting is a huge advantage for attempting to achieve this effect. They can tweak the shading and the lighting given a largely fixed perspective. This gives them far more control over how the models are viewed. Their game is designed to be seen from a single perspective. However, it is worth pointing out that Guilty Gear has a distinct advantage. (Xrd Sign) In this game, they've gone to great lengths to emulate their 2D hand-drawn style using 3D models. ![]() ![]() For an example of how to do this "right" I would point to the latest entry in the Guilty Gear series. ![]()

![]() ![]() Which one is better? Advantages of each OTP With TOTPs the moving factor is their limitation in time, while with HOTPs the moving factor is the counter that is activated with each event - a following code request. Both have a moving factor that changes them. The moving factor is the main difference between these two types of OTPs. Hence, if the user doesn't enter the one-time password in the set amount of time, the code won't be valid anymore. The duration of a timestep for a TOTP usually lasts between 30 and 180 seconds, but you can personalize this time lapse. TOPT stands for "time-based one-time password".Īs opposed to the previous type, these OTPs base their functioning on time sequences called timesteps. TOTPs are one-time passwords based on time. HOTPs aren’t usually based on time, instead they are valid until the following code is requested by the user. ![]() This token is sent to the user and is based on a hash algorithm, hence the name "hash-based one-time passwords". This kind of OTP consists of the generation of a token that only the user and the server can know. The generation of this type of code is based on a counter, that is activated and incremented with each event. HOTP stands for "hash-based one-time password", therefore it is based on hash-based message authentication codes. HOTPs are one-time codes based on events. These authentication codes can be based on events (HOTP) or on time (TOTP). One-time passwords are frequently used as a complementary authentication factor in multi-factor authentication processes, but it can also be the sole method to authenticate a user. In the unlikely event that a third user would take over the user’s device and hack the one-time code, this can only be used once. This makes OTPs a pretty secure system to recover accounts or add an extra layer of security to them. Unlike passwords, users can only use one-time codes once. It is usually compounded by 4 to 6 characters that the user has to enter in order to verify their identity. But what are HOTPs and TOTPs? Do you want to know the difference between them? Which one is more recommended? What is an OTP?Ī one-time password or OTP is a unique code that is sent to a user, normally to their email or phone. In general terms, two different types of OTPs can be distinguished - HOTPs and TOTPs. You probably used them as a user, but when it comes to implementing them in your own verification system, what kind of OTP is more suitable? OTP stands for "one-time password" and it is frequently used as an additional verification factor in multi-factor authentication systems. ![]() In order to protect users’ from password theft and account takeovers, multi-factor authentication with one-time passwords is heavily used.

Chromosomes are the vehicles for genes, and genes define traits like coat color, fur length, eye color - everything that makes the cat what it is. (boy, the word “sex” always gets people’s attention!)Ĭats (along with humans, dogs, armadillos, weasels, mice, and other creatures) have two sex chromosomes. No, wait! Don’t go yet! It’s really not that confusing. I knew this was going to get complicated! About one in 3,000 tricolored cats are males, although only 1 in 10,000 of these males is fertile. Yes, for the most part - and very rarely, no. Is it true that only females can be true Tricolors? On a pointed cat, if the points themselves do not include three colors - white, red or cream, and one other color - it is not a true tricolor. ![]() The only exception to this is found in breeds such as the Himalayan, Colorpoint Shorthair and Javanese, which allows the points themselves to be tricolored (what are called “tortie points”). In this case, the cat is not a true tricolor either - it’s a seal point and white, or a blue point and white, or a chocolate point and white. These cats are mixed-breed, as significant white spotting is not found in the Siamese breed (although some small bits like a little white spot on the toes is found this is considered a disqualification for showing). In some rare cases, a Siamese-type pointed cat may appear to be a tricolor because of white patches on its body. A white cat with red or cream tabby patches is not a true tricolor either only one of the colors may be red or cream in a true tricolor. It’s defined (colorwise) as a tabby and white. There is a designation called “bicolor” where the cat has a significant portion of white fur, but the rest of the cat is either a solid color such as black, blue, red, or a patterned color such as brown tabby, silver tabby (what many people call “tiger”), blue tabby, etc.Ī white cat with patches of tiger stripe might appear to have three colors - white, black, and gray - but because one of the three colors is not red or cream, it is not a true tricolor. Some cats may appear to have three colors, but in fact may only have two. Black and blue are by far the most common. The second color must be white, and the third color must be black, blue (a blue-gray), chocolate, lilac (a pale rose-beige), cinnamon, or fawn (a pale buff color). If it does not have one of these two colors, it is not a true tricolor. Many cats appear to have three colors, but are not true tricolors.Ī true tricolor must have one of its colors derived from the red gene - either red (orange) or cream (kind of a light, orangy beige, not unlike the color many people call “ginger”).

The center-body of BWB was made with NACA 0012-64, and inner and outer wing was made from supercritical airfoil of NACA S (2) 0710. This NACA airfoil series is controlled by 4 digits e.g. For this example we use a Blended Wing Body (BWB). We assume you are familiar with SUAVE and have some CFD experience already. It will also show how to add individual wing segments. To this end, the 3D CAD scaled model of BWB was prepared using commercial modeling software CATIA V5 and flow simulation is done by using ANSYS FLUENT finite volume analysis simulation tool. The purpose of this tutorial is to show the analysis settings used to generate geometry, a mesh, and run CFD via SU2 from SUAVE. The objective of this research is to assess the aerodynamic performance of a giant size, Blended Wing Body layout, which is expected to have many advantaged over the conventional airplane. To design the center-body airfoil of a blended wing body configuration, the aerodynamic effects of the symmetrical airfoil, trailing-edge reflexed airfoil, leading-edge loaded airfoil and leading. Studies have shown remarkable performance improvements for the Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) over conventional subsonic transport. It is possible to use the same airfoils which are used on high performance F3B models, if their torsion moment is compensated by the appropriate. But if performance is an issue, as it is the case in contest flying, the airfoil should be carefully selected. In the present commercial air transport scenario, efficient, economically and attractive configurations are urgently needed. In principle, tailless model planes and flying wings can be equipped with any airfoil. ![]() ![]() Price: Starting from $75 (acts as a plugin) Surely it is not the cheapest option available in the market, but the features provided will give your edits a new dimension.Īutomated tracking to use filters on particular parts of your footageĪ bit pricey compared to the features offered Moreover, you can save all the presets for future projects.

They also do best when they have access to partial sun and shade, or, if no window is available, access to a sun lamp. As mentioned above, finches need to be kept in pairs. Finches do best in "average" room temperature - between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Zebra finch and society finch care can be a rewarding experience for even the most novice pet owners. Society finches come in many different shades, from all white to nearly black, but unlike other finch species, the males and females look the same. Because of their domestic heritage, some society finches can be trained to take treats and food from the hand. Society finches were bred as a hybrid between two other finch species thousands of years ago in China and India. In contrast, society finches are more of a designer breed - they do not occur naturally in the wild. Many owners of zebra finches report joyful chirps when their zebra finches see them after a long, hard day at work. ![]() ![]() Named so for the black and white stripes across their chests, zebra finches make wonderful and cheerful pets. Where Are Zebra Finches From?Īlthough the Estrildidae family is found all across the world, zebra finches come from the wild grasslands of Australia. These birds are widely distributed and thrive in captivity. But the common pet finches, like zebra finches and society finches, actually come from the scientific family Estrildidae, which also includes sparrows, waxwings, and weavers. Kept in good conditions, both zebra finches and society finches can live 7 to fourteen years, and even longer in some cases!Īccording to ornithologists, "true" finches are actually from the family Fringillidae. Though zebra finches and society finches can usually be safely housed together, please introduce them carefully, as some finches can become territorial. However, if you have six or more finches housed together, they will be more social and probably won't exclude any of the other finches. Much like humans, finches don't do well alone. Here's what you need to know! Can Finches Be Kept Alone? These finches are very affordable and simple to care for. Society finches and zebra finches can be kept by any level of pet owner with just a little bit of set up and daily maintenance. Finches are colorful and amazingly lively pets that make an excellent addition to any home. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, one has to admire the elegant swagger of the wavy t, h and l which the K-Type font extends to the b, f and k.
