No big deal, but annoying in this day and age for a beginner like myself, who doesn't have a clue about this sort of stuff!(even more annoying that i had to bloodywell figure it out for myself after hours of trial and error importing and exporting to and from DXTBmp, comparing with the photoshop dds plugin, and opening aircraft in fsx to see what worked and what did not). The default display settings are not right for editing fsx.dds files so you have to change em. Gimp in its default settings, quite frankly sucks for trying to load edit and save fsx.dds filetypes. If i was to take a stab at it i would say that the is meant to be an error message that pops up saying one cannot save directly to the fsx directory.i found saving to the desktop then manually copying the file over sorted this problem.Ģ. Gimp for some reason cannot remember that it is actually over writing the original file and so when you attempt to reload the file a few minutes later gimp keeps reloading the file it had in its own little file registry, which may or may not be the one fsx is using (even when that file has been deleted in windows explorer and no longer exists in the directory.don't ask me how in gods name it does that, but believe me it does!!!). There are two issues using gimp 2.8 in its "out of the box" format for editing fsx.dds files.ġ. I dont know if photoshop has a similar plugin, and/or if it encounters a similar problem with different compressions of dds images if it does have a dds plugin, but id really like to understand the problem and find a solution using GIMP as im sure it will be of help to someone else. is a dds dxt 5 and the other dds dxt 1 (at least i think that's what they are.im getting a little unsure now)Ĭan anyone with GIMP have a go at these and help me out please? I have included the zip file containing two examples of the same image.1. ![]() I have tried removing the alpha channel, not sure if i have done it correctly as im new at all of this.in any case, it didnt help. You will notice in the attached image that the GIMP image on the left is showing a very low transparency/opacity setting and yet the exact same image opened in DXTBmp is displaying perfectly. dds dxt 5, GIMP displays it incorrectly again. I did a little experiment with the image and found that if i use DXTBmp to convertthe image to a. I cannot increase the actual transparency any higher as it is already at 100%. It appears as if the transparency is set to about 50% on the main surface image.

Students will develop awareness of social responsibility, ethics, cultural contexts and global communications considerations. The program features lectures, studio classes, computer lab instruction, critiques, project work, portfolio development and a graduation show. A rigorous work ethic and time-management skills are required for all courses. As in the profession, students juggle multiple projects and deadlines, undertake projects as teams, research, report, cooperate, communicate and present their work. The program builds on a solid foundation of general skills at the first-year level. Second-year courses require students to apply and expand upon foundational skills in more detailed and specific sub-fields. Upper-level courses in the degree explore problem-solving, research, creative exploration, innovation and cultural and contextual issues at a deeper and more complex level and include an industry-related summer internship. Students are required to purchase industry standard laptop computers and software (as specified by the program), as well as supplies and textbooks for classes.ĮNGL 115 - (University Writing and Research)ĮNGL 204 - (Business and Technical Writing) Students must take 18 credits of electives and select various employment-oriented and academic electives.

The core physics are pretty good, but the default setups are so abominable that you're unlikely to ever feel that. It gets my personal recommendation for sure. Tuning your car for speed and realism Dirt 4 is an interesting game. Not a simulator, but it hits that really nice "simcade"-type driving model that most of the other Codemasters racing games are known for (like the GRID games). 144hz freesync renders the game like butter.ĭiRT 4 is a well-polished racing game with both quantity and quality. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos News Guides Reviews. Anyway, the game's not a technical powerhouse by any means, but it runs at ~100fps in 1440p on my RX 480 without a hitch, which is good. Not much of a step above DiRT 3 but to be fair, DiRT 3 had really good graphics for its time (and I think not enough people appreciated that when it released in 2011). But I think it actually feels great to play. I assumed that the driving model wouldn't be super realistic, since it's a mainline DiRT game. ![]() It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. I think I'm impressed more than anything. DiRT 4 - DiRT 4 out now for macOS and Linux.Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous. For me, the "simulation mode" in DiRT 4 feels close enough. If you're only interested in "pure" rally driving, and the simulation aspect is really important to you, then stick with Dirt: Rally. It's probably the largest and most comprehensive offroad-racing package that a video game has ever offered, in my eyes.īut, Dirt: Rally it is not. I've only put a couple of hours into DiRT 4 so far, but I'm completely thrilled with it. I'll keep playing it, but I'm not really sure if I'd recommend it yet. Haven't gotten to the online part yet but it looks like the events are set up similarly to Rally. Dirt Rally always surprised me in that I though I was boss but then found myself careening off into the woods or getting caught up on the edge of the trail. ![]() I am playing on the "demanding" difficulty (around +85% XP) and it's a walk in the park. 4 is good, but honestly I am disappointed. I do like the game but Rally was amazing in terms of difficulty and despite the lack of locales it was a terrific game.

Codemasters recently released the 12th title in its Colin McRae Rally series, called DiRT 4. My biggest complaint however are the track designs. For starters the graphics aren't great and I'm maxed out on UHD. Playing in sim mode with no aid and MT and it feels like Dirt Rally but there's clearly something odd with it. 26 1 57 The Solution: You start off in the lowest tier and need 7 points to progress, you earn points but doing well in the races, however your points can go up or down dependant on your finishing. I put in over 100 hours into Rally and this one just isn't that. ![]() "But they were genuinely interested in working to address them in future SteamOS builds. "We met with Valve about our reservations concerning the limitations of SteamOS with high-end PC builds, and they agreed they were not issues that could be overcome in time for us to launch a Steam Machine this year," said Reeves. Speaking to Venture Beat, Falcon Northwest president Kelt Reeves said that his firm had been in discussion with Valve regarding the restrictions of the new operating system, and had made the decision on amicable terms, hoping to address the problems in the near future. ![]() Now, the company has revealed that it won't actually be making a Steam Machine in the first round, blaming "limitations of SteamOS with high-end PC builds" for the change of heart. The fact that it can be outfitted with a plethora of custom paint and logo options is just icing on the cake.Falcon Northwest was one of the higher-profile manufacturers to pitch its Steam Machine line when specs and pricing were announced in March, partly thanks to offering the highest price point of all the smaple models: a $4,999 beast of a machine with a custom granite base to stop it falling over. This desktop crams up to two high-end graphics cards and the latest Intel Core processors into a slick little box that will have no trouble sitting next to your TV, on top of your desk or on your car seat. If you're willing to shell out for a premium, highly customizable gaming PC that you can take on the road, the FragBox is one of the best options out there. ![]() It also features a slick red coat of Exotix paint and a DVD writer drive. Our $4,848 review unit is a good example of the type of high-end gaming rig you can configure the FragBox to be, packing an overclocked Intel Core i7-7700K processor, dual Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics cards, 32GB of RAM and two 1TB SSDs. All models include a three-year parts and labor warranty. The desktop supports up to an Intel Xeon E5-2699 processor ($3,704) and up to two Nvidia Quadro P6000 graphics cards (a whopping $5,250) each - meaning you can turn it into the ultimate productivity and gaming powerhouse if you have the means. I ran through my usual routine of watching five Twitch streams, downloading multiple games, bouncing between about a dozen browser tabs and running a full system scan, and didn't experience a moment of sluggishness. Thanks to its Intel Core i7-7700K processor and 32GB of RAM, the FragBox breezed through any combination of tasks I threw at it. MORE: Our Favorite Gaming Keyboards Overall Performance The R1 and its dual GTX 1070s just barely trailed behind at 10.9, while the Y710 scored a 10.8. On the SteamVR Performance Test, the FragBox scored an 11, which ties it with other GTX 1080-powered machines for the highest score we've seen yet from Valve's VR benchmark. It might be small, but the FragBox's mighty graphics muscle is more than strong enough for high-end virtual reality. There was a pretty noticeable hum anytime I ran a bunch of tasks at once or cranked up a game. The FragBox scored 9,520 on the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra benchmark, topping the Maingear R1 (7,881 dual GTX 1070), the Lenovo Ideacentre Y710 (3,240 single GTX 1070) and our 3,707 average. The PC had no problems with the graphically dense warfare of Battlefield 1 at max settings, running the game at well over 30 frames per second at 4K and upward of 120 fps at 2560 x 1440. Our FragBox lived up to its name and then some, with dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards that handled games in 4K and VR without a sweat. Fortunately, you can customize the FragBox to your wildest desires at the point of purchase (more on that later), and the system's three-year parts and labor warranty means that the company will handle any necessary part replacements for you. The FragBox has some removable screws in the back, but according to Falcon Northwest, this isn't a machine that's necessarily designed for DIY upgrading. Each of the FragBox's Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards sports three DisplayPorts as well as HDMI and VGA connections, making it easy to connect multiple monitors. ![]() Here are all the different ways you can lock and unlock your keyboard on computers that use operating systems like Windows 10 and macOS.

Running a studio pays a base salary of $3 million to $5 million (what Jeff Robinov reportedly got at Warner Bros.), but bonuses can bring the amount to the mid-eight figures. Those super-pumped comics who keep studio audiences entertained before TV tapings get paid $3,000 to $5,000 a show. ![]() Jonathan Banks got $65,000 per episode on Better Call Saul's first season, and the kids on season two of The Goldbergs earned $20,000 to $25,000 each. Sidekicks, next-door neighbors and other nonstarring TV roles pay in the mid-five figures per episode.

Vince Gilligan got $50,000 per episode of Better Call Saul and Jon Bokenkampearned $37,500 per episode for season two of The Blacklist. They make most of their money in producing fees, with raises in subsequent seasons. ![]() Personal publicists employed by stars earn much more, with some making $400,000 or more a year. On-the-lot overhead deals have been squeezed, but for a studio release, seasoned producers can make $1.5 million to $2 million upfront and often much more in backend (though first-dollar-gross deals are nearly extinct.) Will Smith and James Lassiter's Overbrook Entertainment made $2 million for producing last year's Annie.Ī unit publicist hired by a studio earns about $2,750 a week, or $41,000 per film.

Seasoned scribes also get episodic producing fees of $20,000 to $30,000, even for episodes they don't write. Staff writers can start at WGA scale - $37,368 for an hourlong script, $25,408 for a half-hour - or earn $7,000 to $15,000 an episode in weekly fees. The most lucrative work can come via rewrites or touch-ups, where bankable script doctors can make $500,000 for just a few weeks of effort.ĭispensing celery sticks and Twizzlers to the cast and crew earns these workers about $1,200 a week. Selling a spec screenplay can range from the low-six figures to $3 million (what Sony paid James Vanderbilt for White House Down) or more. ![]() In breakout success, the stars of hit shows eventually can earn as much as a cool $1 million an episode ( The Big Bang Theory's Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons).Įstablished movie scribes can make $1 million a script, plus a bonus if they get final credit. Raises (usually about 4 percent) come each subsequent season ( James Spader made $160,000 per episode for season two of The Blacklist Jeff Garlin made $84,000 per episode on season two of The Goldbergs), but the real money comes after contract renegotiations (usually for season 3). Experienced actors take home as much as $75,000 to $100,000 an episode, and bigger stars can earn $150,000 to topline a series in its first season.

TV producing fees are up (to as much as $75,000 an episode), Meryl Streep gets rich even from flops ($5 million for Ricki and the Flash?), and extras love it when it rains. This year, thanks to North Korean cybercriminals, there were other sources as well - the thousands of emails and employment contracts that spilled Hollywood salary secrets all over the Internet during last November's Sony hack. To research the salaries of everyone from key grips to movie stars, the magazine consulted with executives, producers, payroll service companies, the industry guilds and others who have inside information about how and where the money is flowing in 2015 (including a horse farm in upstate New York that " FedExes" its animal actors to Hollywood shooting locations). Luckily for all, there's lots of comparing to do in THR's second annual What Hollywood Earns report. "I always have clients calling me and saying, 'Am I being paid enough? Should I be paid more?' " "People in this business are always looking at other people and comparing," says a top Hollywood attorney. Al's freaked, as Ed's covered in blood - then realizes that his breastplate has been removed, and it's Martel's blood from when her body was taken out. Or perhaps he *remembers*, as we see his own experience with Truth and the Big Door.īack in the real world, Ed gets him to wake back up. Her blood sprays everywhere, including across Al's bloodseal, and he passes out. Martel's got Bradley hanging by Al's hand, but Bradley's still got a sword, and he slides it in between Al's head and body to kill Martel. Bradley walks over to Al then, and Martel takes the chance of using Al's arm to grab the Fuhrer by the throat. He tries armoring up, but Bradley's just too fast, leaving him lying in the sewer with four swords impaled through his torso. Not because he was *attached* to them, but they were *his*, and he can't stand having what's his taken away. Greed gets up at this point, pissed off at what Bradley's done to his underlings. They last about as long as you'd expect, while Martel tries desperately to get out with Al trying just as hard to keep her in. They tell Al to get Martel out of there, then they charge at Bradley. Roa and Dolcetto show up at this point, bleeding and battered and very surprised to see the Fuhrer. Martel tries to get out of Al when Greed appears, but Al won't let her. They make their way to where Al is sitting in the dark. HOLY SHIT.īradley asks Greed how many time he can be killed before he dies for real. I'm sorry, I don't think I said that right. He has survived his 60 years, on battlefields and in the halls of power, because of his Ultimate Eye.Īnd he has an Uroborus marking on his left eye instead of an iris & pupil. Bradley says he has neither an Ultimate Shield like Greed, nor an Ultimate Spear that can pierce anything (Lust?). Greed continues to lose, getting double-skewered through the neck. Dolcetto comes OUT OF NOWHERE and cuts a couple of the soldiers down, helping Roa escape in the confusion. Roa ain't buyin' it, especially when a squad of soldiers appear behind Armstrong and start shootin'. Roa reveals that he's also an Ishval war vet, and Armstrong begs him to surrender. Roa appears to be stronger, but Armstrong is faster, plus he's motherfuckin' Armstrong. The Fuhrer has apparently issued a "no survivors" order.Īrmstrong and Roa are fairly evenly matched in a fistfight. The crocodile guy and someone who looks bird-ish are already dead. Roa hulks out (or, I suppose, Minotaurs out) and the fighty fighty is on!Įlsewhere again, soldiers are mowing down various chimeras with gunfire. Armstrong alchemy's the hammer into a mini-statue of himself, proclaiming it as "the statuary technique that has been passed down in the Armstrong family for generations!" Sparkles fill the air. Bradley cuts his other hand off and kicks him into a wall.Įlsewhere, Roa is facing off against Armstrong, who is helpfully already shirtless. Greed gets a sense of the trouble he's in, but now Bradley's up in his face and he doesn't have time to armor up (and as noted last ep, he can't armor up and heal at the same time). It works, as Greed armors up his hand only to have Bradley chop it off. Bradley bullshits about how he's getting old and slow, apparently to lure Greed into a false sense of security. Greed wants to know what the highest man in the land is doing down there (so do I). "I can't have that," sez President Fuhrer King. Greed comes up, having ditched his armor, and says they need to find another way out. Elsewhere, Al is struggling against the efforts of Martel to keep him immobilized. Ed and Izumi are distracted by her puking up blood again, but then some soldiers burst in. ![]() ![]() What the hell kind of inspection do you make in that getup? Title card!ĭown in the lair, Greed is enjoying the challenge, but that's not what he's here for, so he books. Fuhrer President King has some sort of harness with four extra swords strapped to his back. ![]() Specifically, he's gone to Dublith, where we find him outside the Devil's Nest, along with Armstrong and several mook soldiers. Mustang just smiles and makes his way to the Fuhrer's office, where we are informed that His Excellency is not in - he's gone to the south to conduct an inspection. We catch snippets of gossipy sniping regarding his youth and what sort of connections he has to be moving up so fast. Mustang is navigating the halls full of envious officers. ![]() Top off that park with your very own roller coaster! Design it yourself or choose from a number of exciting designs.
