Over the course of its existence, the unstable Proto-Zero was passed between OZ and the Gundam Pilots until ultimately being mastered by Heero Yuy, pilot of the regularly disposed XXXG-01W Wing Gundam. Thinking he was just building a new Gundam to replace his old one, Quatre unwittingly exposed himself and any other pilot who dared enter the cockpit of the Proto Zero to the effects of the ZERO System. However it was deemed too erratic, causing mental instability in the pilot with violent hallucinations which combined with the Gundam’s overwhelming power that ultimately made the machine too powerful to exist.Īlthough the plans were hidden away, the Proto-Zero was finally constructed in AC 195 by Gundam pilot Quatre Winner after his XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock was destroyed. The theoretical Gundam was designed to combat the Alliance using a prototype combat computer called the “ZERO System.” With the function to meld with the pilot’s mind, the system processed combat data and potential outcomes of a battle in order to improve its performance over time. The Proto-Zero existed only in blue prints following the Organization of the Zodiac’s halted construction of their OZ-00MS “Tallgeese” in favor of the mass production OZ-06MS “Leo” model and the Earth Alliance’s growing oppression over the space colonies. The Custom negated the original Wing Zero’s signature ability to transform into its Neo-Bird mode by removing the Suit’s pile-driver shield and replacing its two Vernier wing binders with four angelic wings that acted as a heat shield.Īlthough there have been numerous attempts to justify the dramatic redesign of the Wing Zero (as well as the other Gundams) in comics and manga set during the time frame between the television series and the OAV, fans of the design have remained polarized between the two versions.įor the manga retelling of the After Colony universe, “Gundam W –Endless Waltz- Glory of the Losers,” which already uses Katoki’s revamped Mobile Suit designs, the Wing Zero was reintroduced in a new form.Ĭalled the “Wing Gundam Proto-Zero,” this new version of the legendary Gundam borrows heavily from the original Okawara model and returns the design to its awesome glory.ĭeveloped in the year After Colony 180, the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Proto-Zero was to be the collaborative creation of the five scientists who later created the XXXG-series Gundams used for “Operation Meteor.” In his efforts to visually upgrade the design, Katoki’s version of the Gundam was a functional downgrade to the Wing Zero. Katoki’s redesigned Wing Gundam Zero Custom deviated greatly from the original Wing Zero design and seemed more like an artistic upgrade to his elaborately reimagined Wing Gundam. The original design of the XXXG-01W0 Wing Gundam Zero was created by master Gundam artist Kunio Okawara and was later redesigned by Hajime Katoki for the television series’ OAV conclusion “Endless Waltz.” Interestingly enough, the Wing Zero ultimately saw more screen time than its spiritual descendent/onscreen predecessor. The Wing Gundam Zero (Wing Zero for short) has been a fan favorite design since its debut in the series “Mobile Report Gundam W.” By the unwritten rule of mecha anime, it replaced the titular XXXG-01W Wing Gundam half way through the series as the main character’s primary machine. Bandai’s 1:100 scale Master Grade Wing Gundam Proto-Zero marks a personal milestone as my 50th Master Grade, and the 200th Gunpla I have built! I used to use the InterDesign Fridge and Freezer Storage Bin, 12-Inch by 4-Inch by 14.5-Inch, Clear in my craft room already that was empty (it used to hold my mists before I moved them to my Ikea Rakskog cart) so I am putting mine in there, however, if you have a smaller collection or don’t like the size of it, you can also use this: InterDesign Linus Pantry Pullz Organizer, Medium I bought a bunch of these for less than $5.00 a pack (you get 9 storage cards out of one pack) and am cutting them to fit my pockets and to hold my dies.Ī Storage Container – *NEW 12/26/15 – I am now using this InterDesign Fridge and Freezer Storage Bin, 8-Inch by 4-Inch by 14.5-Inch, Clear to store my dies in. Magnetic Vent Covers – These are made to cover up air conditioning vents but the magnetic material is strong and ease to cut down and is much more affordable than any other magnetic material I’ve found. I used Georgia Pacific cardstock which you can get at Amazon for 9.95 (for a pack of 250 sheets!) The pockets I use are from AmazonBasics.Ĭardstock – Any cheap cardstock will work fine for this. Laminator & Pockets – If you are making your own Dividers, you will need a laminator and laminating pockets. I started by planning and gathering my supplies:ĭie Storage Pockets – After much debate and trying several different options, I decided to stick with what works already and use these Avery Elle Stamp & Die Storage Pockets.ĭividers – A lot of people follow Jennifer McGuire’s advice and buy poly/plastic folders and cut them up, or you can do what Nichol Magouirk does and use these DVD Dividers. (Company went out of business but here is a link to more dvd dividers – ) However, I’m on a budget so I copied my idea from my Stencil Storage Solution and have decided to cut up pieces of good, sturdy cardstock ( Bazzill Card Shoppe in Candy Necklace) from my stash and run it through my laminator. Until now, I’ve been storing my dies like thisand it worked fine until I got so many dies that I needed three containers to hold them! I didn’t have room for all the containers and it was starting to take a long time to find what I was looking for so I took a hint from my new stamp storage and updated stamp inventory and have switched them over to magnetic pockets, as well as having created a new die inventory notebook on Evernote (more on that later!) *Updated Decemto add new pictures of my die storage as well as new categories!
It could be a limitation of the motherboard. I do not know why you are stopping at 77% and don't know if it is a real problem or just a false indication. I have never used the Seagate tools but they give some instructions here Opens a new window. The SMART values will tell if it found any more bad sectors. If you are worried run CHKDSK overnight and see what happens. At the moment that hard drive is not showing many. If ever you get into this position again it is easiest to do quick format and then overnight run a check disk to sort out any bad sectors. How to use ext hard disk with usb support for no data loss.ĭo i need to run fiix for all fast to check the hard disk? It stops at 77 percent even in quick formatted status? expecting replies to allġ.5 TB hard drive will take ages to do a full format - probably overnight run and longer since you are doing it via a USB interface. I set dvd then the PCs inner hard disk as boot ease. Do i need to change any priority in bios set up. Do you think, that it tries to boot from ext. Normally when booting with other usb support devices, printer, pendrive, bluetooth etc, there was no problem in booting. What is the cause for this? How to avoid this error? I tried two or more times, then just removed it and tried. disk, the pc did not go beyond the motherboard symbol, it stayed there. Why the error in first place on a new drive is my first query to you? Since it is usb supported drive, what should be the precautions to maintain the access of data and secured storage of data. It took nearly 8 to 9 hours, almost half day to format before. Will it take much time on already quick formatted drive, as when files are there. That may be the reason for it just took few seconds. Hi, Glad that i need not replace the disk. Okay, you want to know how to award best answer, etc. Of course to make full use of the USB3 connector you need a USB3 port in your PC, however, even without one of these it will still be faster though not to the same extent. In the future, if you buy another external hard drive, I would advise you to go for USB3 connections since these are much faster. Unfortunately, I think you have a USB2 connector and that is the limiting factor for any work on that hard drive. I think the speed of formatting is always going to be slow for you and you just have to be patient. The relationship between RAW values, current values and worst values is set by a formula by Seagate. Your disk will fail if the current value falls to 36. When your hard drive left the factory it was set at 99 Worst value. At the moment that number of relocations has not triggered any number changes in the 99 current value. That in itself may or may not be a issue and I would want Seagate to reassure or swap the drive on that criteria. And looking at the RAW values it has gone from 504 to 616 on a new drive. In your case the CrystalDiskInfo has bought to your attention the fact that the hard drive is having to relocate sectors. That is why your disk is passing the SMART test but only the CrystalDiskInfo is flagging up those warnings. I have tried CrystalDiskInfo which is what you first used and it does show CAUTIONS when any value it get is a little away from the normal and so it flags up more cautions than other programmes. The SMART attributes are set by the disk manufacture and the programmes that use them such Seatools, CrystalDiskInfo, etc, take the numbers from the hard disk and display them and they can add extra info. These executables run under MS-DOS on an IBM PC or clone. The programs may be menu-driven, or run as stand-alone modules. A number of data and software deliverables are available.įIX (Feature Information Xfer) is a set of programs designed to facilitate analysis of confusion matrices by both ordinary and sequential information transfer analysis (SINFA - Wang & Bilger, 1973, JASA, 54 1248-1266).

All of that works together to create a really excellent demonstration of what ray tracing can do for game visuals. That includes ray tracing for global illumination, shadows, reflections, and ambient occlusion. The company took the open-source code for the game and compiled it with its RTX technologies. RTX-based Turing chip, and Pohl's results were not playable on a single PC. So what’s the big deal here? Well, Nvidia hasn’t changed anything about Quake II except for the way the lighting works. CeBit in 2007.4 He actually started working on ray tracing in games in 2004. If you do own Quake II, you can play the whole game with fully path-traced lighting. If you don’t already own the original Quake II, Nvidia’s version includes the first three levels for free. You can download Quake II RTX Remastered on Steam right now. Obviously, the company heard me, because it has released its own RTX Remaster of the classic shooter (in partnership with Bethesda). Apply or nominate today!īack in January, I wrote that Quake II was the best argument for Nvidia’s ray-tracing graphics cards. At the event, we will also announce 25 top game startups as the 2024 Game Changers. I wish the ray-tracing features from the RTX release had made it to this version, though.We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of "Playing the Edge." Apply to speak here and learn more about sponsorship opportunities here. If Bethesda had charged more, that might have seemed like the bare minimum, but for $9.99 (or free for Game Pass subscribers or people who previously bought the game), it’s hard to complain. Quake II RTX is fully ray-traced (using path tracing), delivering highly realistic lighting, shadows, reflections, global illumination and more. That’s probably for the best, in my view-I played shooters for years without that sort of thing and enjoyed them just fine, so I’ve been mostly baffled by the hostile responses in recent years to games like Halo Infinite over relatively slim features on that front-but younger players might feel something is missing.Īll told, it seems like a solid remaster that does just enough to make the game accessible on modern machines, but it doesn’t try to make it into a modern AAA game. There are some extras like achievements, concept art, and so on, but there’s no big progression system metagame to tie all your multiplayer matches together like you see in modern online shooters. It was hit-or-miss, but then again, it was the same situation back in the old days. I had a little trouble finding lag-free online multiplayer matches some were unplayable, even though the ping in the server list was fine. There are also concept art and other goodies that you can browse in the menus. The server browser is a throwback to the old ways.īethesda has added achievements to the game. Multiplayer’s network performance seemed inconsistent in my time with it, but this was one of the matches that worked well. For those unaware, Quake 2 RTX works by selecting and enhancing the game’s PAK file. The campaign is as fast and furious as ever. It will be interesting to see whether Quake 2 RTX will be able to run this new version of Quake II. But I played enough both then and now to know nothing at all has changed on the gameplay front, and that’s a good thing because it’s a very tight first-person shooter. The game obviously plays well on the keyboard and mouse, but I tried it with an Xbox Series controller and found the gamepad control scheme well-thought-out with good execution.Īs for gameplay, I’ll admit that I didn’t play Quake 2 much back in the day, so I won’t be able to give the superfan’s perspective I didn’t buy it until a year or two after it came out, and by that time I had become more of an Unreal guy. Back in January, I wrote that Quake II was the best argument for Nvidia’s ray-tracing graphics cards.Obviously, the company heard me, because it has released its own RTX Remaster of the classic. While I usually like using a CRT filter with retro games on an OLED, I turned this one off quickly as it was far too aggressive it seemed to be almost like an over-the-top parody of a CRT filter rather than something attempting to accurately represent that late 1990s look. It looks great in 4K, even though the assets are clearly from another era.īethesda included some extra bells and whistles, like an optional CRT filter. Since my desktop monitors are only 60 Hz, I briefly played it on the same system connected to my LG C1 TV and found that it didn’t have any problem maintaining 120 fps at that resolution either. It adhered tightly to 60 fps at max settings and 4K on my PC gaming rig (AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, 32GB of RAM). I took it for a spin this afternoon, playing the first few campaign missions and a couple of online deathmatches on PC. Over the summer and fall of 1968, and with the help of Clay's underbosses, the two do just that. Afterward Sal double-crosses his accomplices and keeps all the cash for himself, killing Sammy Robinson, his son Ellis, Danny Burke, and leaving Lincoln Clay for dead.Ĭlay survives the attack, and with the help of John Donovan, the two devise a plan to take down Marcano and his entire operation. In February 1968 Sal Marcano plans a robbery of the Federal Reserve, taking over 6 million in cash and, more importantly, money plates for his counterfeiting operation. With his capos and lieutenants in control of all major districts in the city, Marcano allowed the poorer districts to be run by local groups, like the Black and Irish mobs, in exchange for a hefty cut of the profits, thus controlling every criminal operation in the city. Sal successfully blocked potential rivals from gaining a foothold in the city's other criminal operations, installing his brothers in the major rackets while putting loyal and well paid lieutenants in charge of secondary ones. Under Sal, nothing got into or out of the city without his say-so. New Bordeaux's status as a major port for the Southeast United States has made it one of the most important waypoints for smuggling between the U.S., the Caribbean, and Latin America. After this Sal assumed control of New Bordeaux and installed his brothers as capos, establishing the Marcano Crime Family. This event would later be known as the All Saint's Day Massacre. The Marcano crime family was formed in 1934 when Sal Marcano, along with his brothers Lucio and Lou, killed Giuseppe Carillo and 18 of his men as they dined in a popular Italian restaurant in the French Ward. Robloxis available now on Android, iOS, Mac, PC, and Xbox One. Whether or not that comes true is up for debate, though with the recent Roblox Gucci event causing a massive spike in virtual Gucci items like handbags being resold for much higher prices than they were originally being sold at. The rush of players shows no signs of slowing down, especially with recent reports that Roblox users could make half a billion dollars collectively through the sandbox experience in 2021. With the continued surge of Roblox and its player base, moving the game to other platforms may just increase in importance for the company especially with a massive install base for the Switch. That said, Baszucki did admit that pushing Roblox onto other platforms like the Switch are logical decisions. Roblox staff can download preview releases of the suite. Roblox Studio was released in 2006 as Roblox Developers Environment. To the company, the phone platform is the most difficult form factor for immersion, a challenge the team continues to work on to overcome. Roblox Studio is an IDE developed by the Roblox Corporation offering an assortment of building and scripting tools as well as testing, debugging and collaboration tools for development on Roblox. While Roblox originally launched for the PC back in 2006, Baszucki confirmed that the mobile platform is the one the company remains focused on for now. However, the company has nothing to share at the moment about launch dates. During a recent financial call, CEO David Baszucki was directly asked if Roblox would be releasing on more platforms like the Nintendo Switch. Baszucki quickly admitted that launching on the Switch, PlayStation, and even VR devices like Quest make perfect sense long term. Rumors and questions regarding Roblox coming to the Switch have been constant, though developer Roblox Corporation still has nothing to confirm at this moment.

OpenShot is an ideal open source program for doing this. I included it here, because many photographers like to create slideshows of their work, where the images have nice transitions and change from image to image with the music. OpenShot is actually movie editing software. This is the harder, but more powerful route as opposed to using digiKam for the entire workflow. Typically you would take all your pictures in your camera’s raw mode, convert these to a lossless file format like TIFF and then do your photo editing in GIMP. This provides more flexibility to mix and match software and allows the development teams to concentrate on what they are really good at. Often in the open source world, components are broken out separately rather than bundled into one giant program. It supports batch processing and has very sophisticated color processing. It is a very sophisticated conversion program. Sometimes you want a lot of control of the process when you do this processing. digiKam can process raw files, and doing that en-mass is one of its main features. There are plug-ins hat you can install, but I’ve not gotten good results with these, often they work stand-alone, but not from within GIMP. GIMP doesn’t have the ability built in to read raw image files. Photoshop typically costs $20/month on a subscription basis. But for the really difficult editing jobs you need a tool like this. There are actually quite a few good books on GIMP as well as many YouTube tutorials on the basic editing tasks.įor 90% of your needs, you can probably use digiKam or Lightroom. These involved a lot of use of layers and masks, both of which are well supported in GIMP.īoth Photoshop and GIMP are criticised for being hard to use, but they are the real power tools for photo editing and are both well worth the learning curve to become proficient. I was able to go home and perform the exact same workflows in GIMP without any problems. I recently saw a presentation by an author of a book on Photoshop on his workflow for editing photos with Photoshop. It is an open source equivalent of Adobe Photoshop. GIMP is very powerful photo-editing software. Especially if you are an infrequent user. One benefit is you don’t have to worry about having your photos held hostage if you get tired of paying month after month. Lightroom costs $9.99/month and is subscription based. It does peter out near the end, but most of the things that are TBD are also easy to figure out (mostly missing the specifics of various integrations with third party web sites).Īnother difference is that digiKam does actually edit your pictures and doesn’t just store differences like LR does, so you need to be aware of that in your management workflows. However the web based manual for digiKam is pretty good and I find it more than enough. Unlike Lightroom, there aren’t nearly as many books or tutorials on the product. There are tools to publish your photos to various photography websites as well as various social media websites. There is an extensive search tool, so you can find your photos again if you forgot where you put them. It has the ability to import all the photos from raw format for further processing, it has a pretty good image editor built in and then lots of tools for managing your photos, like putting them in albums, assigning keywords, and editing the meta-data. It is easier to use than a full photo editing tool like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop, and has tools to automate the processing of the large number of photos taken in a typical shoot. digiKamĭigiKam is an open source photo management program similar to Adobe’s Lightroom. Figuring out enough of a program to work on it is a large undertaking, but I feel comforted that that avenue is open to me if I need it. If you find a bug, you can report it, or if you are a programmer you can fix it. You can download the source code for any open source program and have a look at how the programs work. I run all these programs on Ubuntu Linux, however they all have versions for the Mac and Windows. In this article I’m going to talk about the excellent open source programs that work very well in this space.īasically there are two streams here, the quicker and easier software equivalent to Adobe Lightroom and then the more technical and sophisticated software equivalent to Adobe Photoshop. The Adobe products have a reputation for being very good, but they are quite expensive, especially since they have switched to a subscription model of pricing. Most articles and books are based on these products. For photography, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom dominate the scene. Since retiring, I’ve switched to entirely running open source software. |
