Check the link for Padding the Body Form, below, to see how this can be done. Then stitch it up, and start fitting! Oh, and make sure you have all the tools you'll need - there aren't many and you can get started for around $25 (with free shipping from Amazon!). Now, it's time to get your fitting pattern (you'll get the right size, using your body measurements!) - or take the plunge and draft a block from your own measurements. See? It's not hard, and you don't need a lot of measurements to get started. It may be easier to use a ruler for this measurement.

Again, this is impossible to do yourself. K - Outseam - Measure along the outer thigh and calf, from the waist to the ankle. Later, with your foot flat on the floor, measure the distance from the ankle to the floor and subtract that measurement from the inseam. This is impossible to do on yourself! If you do not have a helper, you can dangle the tape measure with the "1" at the floor, and measure up to the crotch point. J - Inseam - Measure the inseam along the inner thigh and calf, from just below the crotch to the ankle. I - Ankle - Measure the ankle all around, at the narrowest point (where the ankle flexes). Measure all around the thigh, keeping the tape horizontal and level with the floor (this part is tricky, because the tape always wants to dip).

11/28/2023 0 Comments Davinci resolve 15 studio![]() ![]() A word of warning, though: In order to work with the new version you need to upgrade your database. You can download it from Blackmagic Design’s website or though Apples MacStore. Resolve 15 is available for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux. A dongle for the studio version also comes bundled when purchasing one of Blackmagic cameras. Most of what I’m doing works great with the free version but since the full Studio version is only $299 you might want to consider buying this if you need these advanced features. The Studio version has some advanced features unlocked such as noise reduction, some 3D tools, a list of motion effects or the support for multiple GPUs. I’ve been working with Resolve 15 beta versions on a couple of smaller projects for the past months and I barely experienced a real bad crash except for the Fusion tab which should be stable by now. Since Resolve 15 is now out of beta it’s safe to download and check out, I would say. Using a beta labeled program is not exactly what you want to do if you’re in the middle of a paid job. All changes are being updated in all other workspaces as you go. In DaVinci Resolve all you have to do is hopping back and forth between the different workspaces and that’s it. Adobe uses their so-called dynamic link technology in order to link (and update in real time) assets from After Effects to Premiere Pro. No more exporting, transcoding, importing, manipulating, exporting again. The good thing is this: Round-tripping has become a lot easier with both, Adobe and DaVinci Resolve. Adobe After Effects for example uses layers while Fusion is based around nodes. These are very different applications, though. If you’re a Adobe user you could compare Resolve to Premiere Pro (editing and grading), Audition (audio) and After Effects (compositing). Installation files for Resolve 15 plus a massive reference manual. Now, with version 15 their latest acquisition has been merged into Resolve: Fusion, which is an advanced node based compositing tool. Then came Fairlight, a full-fleged suite of audio tools for manipulating and mastering audio. After that a NLE style video editor was added with version 10 in 2013. When they acquired Resolve it was just a color correction and grading tool. In contrast to Adobe whose approach is to develop a whole suite of dedicated apps, Blackmagic has put all the features of several acquisitions straight into their main software tool: DaVinci Resolve. The above video came out just after the announcement of Resolve 15 so there might be slight changes to some features but you get a pretty good idea of the deep integration of Fusion and Fairlight into Resolve. Watch the video below for a fairly extensive overview of the new features: ![]() The tabs (as in: workspaces) at the bottom of the screen now include: Media, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight and Deliver. If you already played around a little with previous beta versions you know what’s coming: Fusion is now an integrated part of Resolve. Let’s move on to the features of Resolve 15. Customers with DaVinci Resolve Studio dongles and activation keys, and those with Fusion Studio dongles can download and use DaVinci Resolve Studio v15 at no cost. Here’s Peter Chamberlain, DaVinci Resolve product manager, on that matter:Įveryone can download and use the free version. If you happen to own a dongle for version 14, there’s no upgrade cost whatsoever. ![]() As a new user, you can either download the free version at no cost or purchase Resolve 15 for $299. To get things straight right away: There’s no upgrade cost for previous Resolve 14 users. With the package comes a massive 2632 pages reference manual as a PDF.

A majority of the voice lines are actual lines from the original text adventure, which is a nice touch. To guide the player, a narrator speaks out some of the events and describes what you’re seeing. So, for first-time adventurers, the game recommends players just take on the adventure and explore freely without minding the total score. An optimal route and sequence of movements will lead to the maximum score. As such, it’s almost impossible for anyone to get the maximum amount of points on their first run without consulting a guide. Having a maximum score means there’s a right way to do everything in Colossal Cave. As players discover treasures, locations, and experience events, they will accumulate points, and their adventure will be evaluated in the end based on their total score. Sometimes, events or player death could lead to a deduction from the score. Players will have to manage their inventory as it only has a limited capacity, so regular returns to the surface to drop off treasure is part of the work. Most of the game’s puzzles involve the use of these items in specific scenarios and use cases. Players can interact with their environment and use any items they find to interface with other objects around them. The primary objective of the game is to explore the Colossal Cave, discover treasure, and attempt to bring all of the treasure back to the surface, inside the cabin. Further improvements to the game added more fantasy elements to the game like dragons and dwarves later on, and a variant of the game by Don Woods has become the basis for most other versions of the game, including this 3D retelling.Īs an adventure game, Colossal Cave involves a lot of walking. You spelunk to the depths below, where adventure and riches await.Ĭolossal Cave was inspired by the creator William Crowder’s own experiences of caving at the Mammoth Cave back in the 70s, and the original version of the game had an almost one-to-one replica of the Mammoth Cave. Attracted by the prospect of riches, you look for the cave, and eventually, in the middle of a forest, you find the entrance to the cave near a cabin by a stream. We imagine that you heard about stories of a colossal cave, full of undiscovered treasures. Because of these distinctions, Colossal Cave Adventure is in the World Video Game Hall of Fame by The Strong and the International Center for the History of Electronic Games.Ĭolossal Cave does not have an explicit story, as it drops you right at the start of your adventure. ![]() It is considered to be one of the most influential video games of all time and is considered to be the first well-known example of interactive fiction. Future works expanded on the original adventure game and later on games inspired by Colossal Cave included more narrative elements, theatrical elements, combat, and cinematics. The original Colossal Cave Adventure inspired what we now know as the Adventure games genre, which focuses on exploration, discovery, and puzzle-solving more than combat and strategy. For the purposes of this Colossal Cave Review, the ClutchPoints Editorial Team played the game on PC without a VR headset. The game is intended to be played in VR but can also be played without a VR headset. It was released on January 19, 2023, on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and on VR through Meta Quest 2. Colossal Cave Review: What is Colossal Cave?Ĭolossal Cave is a first-person adventure game that adapts the classic text-based adventure into the third dimension, developed and published by Cygnus Entertainment. In this Colossal Cave Review, though, we look at the most recent version of the game – a first-person 3D adventure game remake of the original text-based adventure and see if the magic translates well to the 3D space. Such is the magic and wonder of Colossal Cave Adventure and other text-based adventure games from the 70s and 80s, and even today, the experience of imagining a fantastical world like the Colossal Cave and giving it life in just your own head can still be had today, fifty years since it was first released. Fantastical worlds have been born out of the imagination of creative writers and world builders, and they are able to share these worlds with equally imaginative readers. Imagination can create worlds through the utterance of a few words, and its power is limitless. ![]() ![]() ![]() The resort area of Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and Beaufort, South Carolina falls firmly in Hale’s beach-town category, with buyers seeking a waterfront lifestyle that often comes at a lower cost than in other areas of the country.

Clark County uses the phrase Resort Corridor to describe the area including Las Vegas Boulevard between 215 Beltway and Sahara Avenue and surrounding areas. In the strictest sense, "the Strip" refers only to the stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is roughly between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road, a distance of 4.2 miles (6.8 km). The sign is currently located in the median just south of Russell Road, across from the location of the now-demolished Klondike Hotel and Casino and about 0.4 miles (0.64 km) south of the southernmost entrance to Mandalay Bay, which is the Strip's southernmost casino.

11/28/2023 0 Comments Folx review hrt![]() So, what does the Barbie ending really mean? The movie ends with her, hilariously, going to the gynecologist. Barbie is confronted with the weight of being a real person with real feelings, and instead of choosing to go back to Barbieland, she becomes a human instead. She and Barbie take a walk and she tells Barbie that she has the choice to feel and become a person if she wants. Suddenly, the creator of Barbie, Ruth Handler, appears to give her another option. The idea of a "normal Barbie" gets thrown around, but she's not really that either. She's seen the real world now, and she doesn't feel like she fits in here. ![]() ![]() The Best Barbie Merch the Internet Has to Offerīut Barbie is still wondering what her role is in this new Barbieland.They can be Barbie, and they can be Ken, separately. Barbie and Ken have a moment where he grapples with his own identity, and Barbie reassures him that it's time for him to figure out who he is without her. But in the midst of this, it looks like Stereotypical Barbie is not particularly excited. It's a triumphant moment and truly a "girls rule, boys drool" situation. Okay, so the Barbies trick the Kens into fighting with each other, and therefore they are able to take back Barbieland for themselves and reinstate their own constitution. What are the basic plot points of the Barbie ending? So I'm here to talk it through, but it's worth noting that "explaining" the end of a movie is a bit of a weird task, considering it is up to anyone's own interpretation as a moviegoer! I digress. ![]() And the ending of the movie is a bit of of a gut-punch. This movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has so many ideas, and it captures the very specific existential dread of being a woman, which is hard to do in a movie based on a doll. The Barbie movie is many, many things (An absolute master class in costuming! A killer use of a soundtrack! Amazing performances!), but maybe the most important is that it is great conversation fodder. ![]() 11/28/2023 0 Comments Are hearts of palm good for you![]() ![]() Palm Hearts May Prevent Unhealthy Weight Gain Examples include leaky gut and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
