![]() ![]() It was possible to have end-to-end encryption over the Google Talk network using OTR (off-the-record) encryption using other chat clients like Adium (for Mac) or Pidgin (for Linux and Windows). Some XMPP clients natively supported encryption with Google Talk's servers. The connection between the Google Talk client and the Google Talk server was encrypted, except when using Gmail's chat over HTTP, a federated network that didn't support encryption, or when using a proxy like IMLogic. The plugin had to be downloaded and installed, but otherwise seamlessly integrated into the Gmail interface. The plugin was available for Windows (XP, Vista, and 7), Mac OS X (only on Intel-based Macs), and Linux ( Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE packages available, but the binaries worked on other systems). Google also provided a Voice and Video Chat browser plugin for Google Talk (not to be confused with the standalone Google Talk client) that supported voice and video chat between Gmail users. Messages could be sent with or without first ringing the recipient's phone number. Messages could be up to 10 minutes long and users could choose to have them sent to their Gmail inbox. (Outbound calling through Gmail did not require Google Voice and was available in many countries outside the US.) Google Talk allowed users to leave a voicemail for a contact whether or not they were signed into Google Talk. Initially, users outside of the US could not upgrade to a full Google Voice account or receive phone calls in Gmail. In order to receive calls, however, the user had to upgrade to a full Google Voice account. It was possible to place and receive phone calls from within Gmail by using Google Talk. In the standalone client and the Google Talk widget embedded into Gmail and Google+, Google+ contacts appeared in the contacts list their respective circles were shown in Google+'s iteration of the widget. This functionality was at some point discontinued without any real announcement, likely in the face of the release of the Google Hangouts services. Google Talk Gadget was a web-based module that could be embedded in iGoogle (since discontinued) and other web pages, allowing text chat with users of Google Talk. This enabled Google Talk users to interact with registered Orkut users, by sending and receiving "scraps" within Orkut. Google also integrated Google Talk with Orkut. However, on September 15, 2011, Google announced a new feature of its Google Takeout program that allows users to download chat logs via IMAP. ![]() For a long time, it was not possible to directly download chat logs that were not attached to an email conversation, although some workarounds had been found. This allowed users to search their chat logs and have them centrally stored in their Gmail accounts. As it worked within a browser, the Google Talk client did not need to be downloaded to send instant messages to Gmail users.Ĭonversation logs were automatically saved to a "Chats" area in the user's Gmail account. Google Talk was integrated into Gmail where users could send instant messages to other Gmail users. Currently, Google is migrating its users from Google Hangouts, to Google Chat and Google Meet.įeatures Product integration Users of Windows client were instructed to migrate to the Google Hangouts app on the Chrome browser platform. In February 2015, the Windows client was discontinued and ceased to work, with Google recommending users to use Google Hangouts instead. A Google Talk mobile web app had also been previously available. Google Talk applications were available for Microsoft Windows, Android, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10 and ChromeOS operating systems. Google Talk was also the name of the client applications previously offered by Google to use the service. The instant messaging service was variously referred to colloquially as Gchat, Gtalk, or Gmessage among its users. Google Talk was an instant messaging service that provided both text and voice communication.

![]() ![]() The Tabby Through HistoryĪs ubiquitous as the Tabby pattern is in modern cats, it did not exist until the Middle Ages. Technically, all Abys are Tabbies already, although Tabby cats can come from many breeds. Few breeds have the Ticked Tabby pattern, but Abyssinians and the closely related longhaired Somali cat breed both sports this particular color type. The fourth pattern is called the Abyssinian or ticked pattern and looks less like a classic striped cat but instead the sort of coat on a wild animal. The three distinctive Tabby patterns are Mackerel, Classic, and Spotted. The Tabby patterns are associated with at least two and likely three unique loci. Tabby isn’t a breed but a color pattern, and there are different types of Tabby patterns. ![]() Although the British refined the breed, colonists and merchants may have brought the earliest Abyssinians in the country after they acquired cats at seaports in Calcutta. The stuffed cat dates back before 1834 and is labeled Patrie, Domestica India. In Holland, a taxidermied exhibit Abyssinian is the earliest identifiable Aby. The most recent theory about the origin of the Abyssinian is based on genetic evidence that the breed originated in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean coast. Some British Breeders believe the modern breed originated from crosses of native brown and silver Tabbies with British “Bunny” ticked cats. Although individual cats were imported and attributed to Ethiopia, then called Abyssinia, no written records connect the early Abyssinians to those imported cats. The Abyssinian cat’s history is difficult to piece together. Abyssinians grew in popularity through the Twentieth Century and continue to gain fans because of their beauty and playful personalities. ![]() They have an ancient look, like historical cats from long-gone civilizations. Regardless of shade, the Aby’s ticked coat is warm and glowing. Abyssinians are one of the few “ticked” breeds, with coats that have a salt-and-pepper appearance, much like the coat of a wild rabbit. The Abyssinian looks much like the cats depicted in Ancient Egypt’s art. In the case of the Abyssinian Tabby cross, most breeds with the visible Tabby pattern will not be closely related to the Abyssinian. Knowing about the two parent breeds will help you understand your kitten’s personality traits and health issues you’ll need to monitor. When two distinct breeds are crossed, the desired result is a healthy cat without many genetically linked health problems. Ironically, the Abyssinian is a specific color type of Tabby that shows no distinct striping. Many breeds have Tabby as an approved color. Tabby, of course, is not a breed but a genetically determined color pattern. The earliest references we have to the breed discuss them as coming from Abyssinia, the former name for Ethiopia. They are one of the oldest cat breeds, but their exact origin is unknown.

As nice as the insert mesh brush seems to be in zBrush, I feel like the geometry nodes system in Blender 3 has a lot more power and potential, at least for someone who is primarily sculpting with the intent to 3d print (and who has both a software engineering and fine arts background, rather than just fine arts). ![]() I was torn between learning sculpting on zBrush or Blender, but after a few days working in Core I’m actually starting to lean back towards Blender. So what gets really neat about the geometry nodes system (which, btw, is present before 3.4) is that unlike simply creating visual artifacts via shaders for fun renders but of no utility for something like 3d printing (at least not without substantial work or specialized tooling that I’m unaware of), the geometry nodes really do create actual 3d mesh that can be acted upon in all the expected ways. It’s really fascinating with the entire system in how procedural it can become, including with logic branching options: even without having seen exactly the route this specific workflow took, it should be entirely possible to build upon this to do more than just 1×1 bricks, based on adjacent node color. I’ve been working on incorporating geometry nodes into a sculpting workflow, and it will be very interesting to see what I can extract and learn from this example, because the documentation is awfully flat still in this area. Nice! Looking forward to watching this tomorrow (it’s late and I’m running a fever blah). Posted in Software Hacks Tagged 3d, blender, geometry nodes, instance attributes, lego, model Post navigation ![]() Or, using these models and sending them over to a 3D printer straight from Blender itself. He goes over a lot of the details on how to create these, and it would only be a short step from there to ordering the bricks themselves. The demonstration that uses is converting a beach ball model to LEGO, but using these tools on other models delivers some striking results. From there, a model brick is created and placed at each of these points, and then colors can be transferred to the bricks individually. The spacing of the intervals is set to be exactly that of LEGO bricks, which gives the model the low-resolution look of a real LEGO set. ![]() Essentially, an existing model is split into discrete points at specific intervals. This new feature available in Blender 3.4 allows for the use of instance attributes in a way that a large number of points on a model can be created without causing undue strain on (and possible crashing of) the software. Now, as demonstrated by, the popular program can even be used to convert models into LEGO. Blender is a free and open source computer graphics package that’s used in the production of everything from video games to feature films. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even if you manage to find the gradient processing menu quickly, you will be surprised to see that it offers a limited set of options. ![]() The options to set the font size to a custom number are absent as well.Īdvanced gradient processing. For instance, you can’t change a letter or line spacing. If you need to add text elements to your works, it won’t be easy. Also, a user might find it impossible to understand what each of the pictograms refers to. That is why this program can be hardly used for complex editing tasks. There is no color highlighting feature as well. Pixelmator has no special set of tools that can be used for such tasks. It doesn’t allow users to edit all the layers at once. They are 10 times faster than the ones from the previous versions. Thanks to the usage of the Metal platform, Pixelmator Pro boasts great performance and comes with advanced zooming and scrolling options. If you need to process web images in no time, try using the Quick Export tool. Pixelmator Pro comes with professional compression tools and allows exporting presets. You can select an object with greater accuracy and erase only the areas that you don’t need to use. This feature is also used to improve the performance of selection tools. ![]() One of the most noticeable differences between PixelmatorPro vs Photoshopis that the developers of the former have used a neural network to classify imported files and assign names to them depending on their type. Thanks to iCloud support and useful extensions, you can easily share your works. The program supports RAW files, thus allowing a user to work on several layers. Those who edit large pictures will find the saving and loading progress bars quite useful. If you are just starting to use this software, you will appreciate the well-designed toolbar with handy icons. ![]() ![]() She’s almost like a good-side foil to Wrath, considering her “survival of the fittest” philosophy and utter lack of mercy. Nowhere is this more obvious than with Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong, a character who doesn’t appear in the 2003 anime but who’s one of the most badass characters ever. The 2003 anime also did this, but not to anywhere near the same extent. Hiromu Arakawa went out of her way to subvert loads of sexist tropes that are prevalent in many manga. It apparently wasn’t even worth explaining why the homunculi embody the seven deadly sins. The world of that anime is always very vague, other than being Germany in a parallel universe, which has no connection to the manga. Nor are we given a map of the country, if I remember correctly. Or maybe in that version Amestris is the name of the world they live in and Shamballa/Britain is the name of their country? It’s never made clear. Let’s start with the nation of Amestris, whose name is never mentioned indeed, it’s Shamballa in the 2003 anime, though it’s sometimes called Britain. Better World-Buildingįullmetal Alchemist has some great world building, except that the 2003 anime really doesn’t. There’s no contest while perhaps not as striking a difference as with Greed, Scar is also way better in the Manga. It’s one of the most powerful scenes in the whole manga, and since Mustang killed her parents in the 2003 anime, it’s not there. I speak, of course, of the scene where Winry finds out that Scar murdered her parents, points a gun at him, and demands he bring them back. The only thing the 2003 anime really added to his character was a history with Lust, but I’m not sure it really goes anywhere, and it certainly doesn’t replace all the things that made him what he was in the manga.Īside from the 2003 anime more-or-less lacking Scar’s entire arc, there is one scene whose omission was a terrible crime against his character. There his status as the killer of Winry’s parents is revoked, making him instantly less interesting, and then he gets killed off before he can get much development. Like Greed, the fascinating character of Scar is short-changed in the 2003 anime. I should mention that the 2003 anime diluted the incident by not only leaving the victim’s age ambiguous, but also by having it turn out to have all been a misunderstanding it was actually a couple of priests who got killed (or something equally baffling).Īnd the dragon Envy turns into at the end of the 2003 anime is nothing compared to its grotesque true form in the manga: a huge, disturbing green monster covered in the tormented souls (including those of babies) that make up its philosopher’s stone, each one screaming in pain. The evil monster revels in every single human life it destroyed with that one bullet, from the man it framed to the country it ravaged. Nowhere is this more apparent than when Envy gleefully admits to having caused the Ishvalan Genocide by murdering an innocent child. ![]() Sure, the Envy of 2003 turned into his victims’ loved ones to torture them, but the Envy of the manga did all that and more with snarky sadism. The envy of the manga was always committing atrocities with an insane grin and boasting about it. Edward’s shock gives Envy the opportunity he needs to kill him, but worry not-as stated above, people can come back from the dead in the 2003 anime!Īfter killing Ed, there’s really nothing left for Envy to do in the anime. He reveals to Ed that he is, in fact, Ed’s half-brother by Hohenheim. Near the end of the story he fights with Edward, acting way more subdued than it ever did in the manga (though not as subdued as he acted near the beginning of the 2003 anime). In the 2003 anime, Envy impersonates Cornello for around twelve episodes, kills Maes Hughes, imprisons Greed, and acts as the 2003 villain Dante’s enforcer. Unfortunately there’s not all that much for Envy to do in the 2003 anime’s story, and besides, he’s just not as interesting a character. ![]() ![]() It just takes so much pleasure in being the cruelest of the homunculi that you can’t help but be enthralled whenever this shape-shifter is on the page. ![]() The homunculus Envy is widely considered to be the best villain in Fullmetal Alchemist.
