Satoshi Kon Wiki - Wikia on the films creator.One by one, each disturbing development drives Mima to become increasingly unhinged and unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.Įxternal Links Official Other Sources Other Wikis To add to Mima's growing unease, an obsessed fan who is incapable of accepting that Mima has quit being an innocent idol, begins stalking her a new anonymous website begins to impersonate her life with intricate detail and CHAM! also appears to be doing better without her. Wanting to shed her pop-idol image, she takes on a role in a crime drama series, and her career as an actress gradually becomes more demanding and taxing for both Mima and her manager, Rumi Hidaka. Feeling like something big needs to change, she plans to give her image a major update. Hi everyone Im one of the mods for the JNLN group on Goodreads and thought folks here might be interested in joining our most recent light novel group read - Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis. Mima Kirigoe is in the third year of her career as a pure and innocent pop idol. However, Mima's life begins to change drastically after her departure from the group. Read reviews on the novel Perfect Blue: Kanzen Hentai (Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis) on MyAnimeList, the internets largest manga database. When the new Mima is revealedcomplete with a sexy outfit and a risqué photo bookone of her most obsessive fans refuses to accept her transformation. While Mima's choice is met with a mixed response, she hopes her fans will continue to support her. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and CHAM! must see one of its members, Mima Kirigoe, leave the group to pursue her acting career. J-pop idol group CHAM! has spent the last two years entertaining its fans. It is based on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis (パーフェクト・ブルー 完全変態, Pāfekuto Burū: Kanzen Hentai) written by Yoshikazu Takeuchi. Perfect Blue ( パーフェクトブルー, Pāfekuto Burū) is a 1997 Japanese animated psychological thriller film directed by Satoshi Kon and written by Sadayuki Murai. Genre: Drama, Horror, Psychological Tags: Thriller, Violence, Idol Media: Novel, Film To release all lines by tri-stating all pins (except XTAL pins), initialize all I/O registers and set program counter to zero.The RESET pin on the AVR is active LOW, and setting the pin LOW externally will thus result in a reset of the AVR. The cap and diode are both referenced in AVR042, Design Considerations. The reset diode is recommended especially when a button is used for reset, the higher voltage spikes are more likely to occur then. Required? Apparently not, but better safe than sorry I guess. If I recall the explanation I heard correctly, it helps prevent a voltage spike on the reset pin from putting the chip into high-voltage programming mode, which requires a special programmer to get out of. However, I would still add the diode across the 10K resistor if you can. In this case, the Mega Pro schematic would have been a more appropriate one for me to link you to. The Sparkfun "Pro" boards are usually pretty solid close-to-bare-bones boards, I use them as a reference for minimal circuits. I made a few boards using an ATMega640 (basically the same as the 2560, just less memory) and only did the 0.1uF cap, the 10K pullup, and the diode, no issues thus far. I know it isn't required, whatever it does. I'm actually not sure what that 22pF cap on the Arduino Mega is for, but it is not the auto-reset cap, note that the 22pF is between reset and ground, not in-line with DTR. I just have one more question, in that ATMEGA2560 schematic, the circuit diagram next to the ICSP header, there is a diode in parallel with the 10k resistor is this necessary? What does it even do? They've also used 22pF rather 0.1uF capacitor. Thank you! This schematic makes more sense than that one. As for the pins, the edge of the card is pretty much covered already, so not much else to do, unless going to smaller pin spacing (and that would probably also mean more than 2-layer board for routing, but that depends). Have some FPGA’s and that would be cool to have in the future, though don’t like that most of them need closed source software to work (heard of some reverse-engineered FPGAs, so those might be candidates). Yeah, CPLD’s looks quite interesting, though haven’t used them yet. (also an idea of protecting my Bios with coreboot… but again, too much) maybe just the Xilinx… adding a usb hub and we are having a computer inside our computer. So yeah, your board is a great start, and maybe combining it with something like the Xilinx ZYNQ-7000 will do a trick or two? (im realy dreamy with this, and dint spin a board at all because of this). Maybe scan/controll the SMBbus (dunno about the speeds) and do Leds stuff (the onboard ones). Fpga’s arent cheap but, a clpd might be helpful to “optional” change some pins to a “more powerful” mcu? before I saw this post, I already dreamed of a mPCIe card that could maybe talk to the SIMcard connector my laptop has ( )īasically “misuse” the simcard connector for IO or serial. Posted in Arduino Hacks Tagged arduino, pci, pci express, PCI-E Post navigationĬoowl youre here, well I wanted to make something similar but then started to wonder if I can cheaply utilize more of those pins. The board is known to work with the VIA VAB-600 Springboard and VIA VAB-820 boards, although it is likely to work with other PCI Express hosts, too. The board appears to a host computer as a SparkFun as a Pro Micro 3.3V board, and from there you could easily add function to a computer with a PCI Express slot using nothing more than the Arduino IDE. You do need to use ISP to program the Arduino bootloader on the chip. Naturally, there are pins on the edges to access I/O ports and power. (As points out in the comments, the board is using the USB port present on the PCI-E connector.) The design files use KiCAD so it should be fairly easy to replicate or change. However, posted a workable design for an Arduino on a mini PCI Express board. If you ever wanted to prototype something on PCI Express, you’d usually turn to an FPGA. You’ll find PC Express connectors in things other than PCs too, including a lot of larger embedded systems. PCI Express offers a lot of advantages including a small size, lower pin count, and a point-to-point serial bus topology that allows multiple simultaneous transfers between different pairs of end points. Many PCs today feature PCI Express connectors. Full size PCI card slots are in danger of going the same way. It is almost impossible these days to find a PC with old ISA card slots. At about the same time, Vincent Hamm was also looking to implement a SCUMM system player, and though he had done deeper research into understanding how the SCUMM engine worked, found that Strigeus was much further along, and the two joined to craft the project. Looking to write his own adventure game, he looked to see how the mechanics of an existing game engine, specifically working to create a way to play Monkey Island 2 on his Linux machine. Work on ScummVM started in September 2001 (with the first public release at October and a site launch at November ) by computer science student Ludvig Strigeus. Mobile phones running Android, webOS or unofficial Samsung's bada OS are also supported. Platforms supported by unofficial ScummVM ports include the Microsoft's Xbox gaming console, BlackBerry PlayBook, Zaurus, Gizmondo and GP32 portable device platforms. Handheld computer platforms supported include Palm OS Tapwave Zodiac, Symbian ( UIQ platform, Nokia 60, 80, and Nokia 7710 90 phone series), Nokia's Internet Tablet OS (used by the Nokia 770, N800 and N810), Apple's iPhone, MotoMAGX, MotoEZX phones and Windows Mobile. ScummVM has been ported to gaming machines such as the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii, and to handheld consoles including the GCW Zero, GP2X, Nintendo DS, Pandora, PlayStation Portable and the PS Vita. Less mainstream personal computer ports include those to Amiga, Atari-Free MiNT, Haiku- BeOS- ZETA, RISC OS, and OS/2 (including derivatives such as ArcaOS).Ī variety of game consoles have official ports. It has also been ported to console systems. Ports of ScummVM are available for Microsoft Windows, macOS and a variety of Unix-like systems including Linux (based on RPM, Debian, or source), members of the BSD family ( FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD) and Solaris. Portability is a design goal of the project. The ScummVM team consider this an improvement over simply running the older games and their executables through an operating system emulator, such as DOSBox, since ScummVM's implements are more lightweight and require less processing power and memory, allowing use on more limited processing environments like mobile devices. Outside of some subsystems like audio engines which they are forced to rely on emulation, ScummVM recreates game engines from older languages into more portable C++ code, so that the high-level opcodes in a game's assets will execute in the same manner as their original release, while improving the portability of ScummVM to numerous platforms. While ScummVM appears to function equivalently as a game emulator, the ScummVM team does not consider it as such. It has also begun to work at providing alternate controls for newer devices, such as mobile devices with touch screens, which work atop the original games. Atop reimplementing the game executables in portable form, ScummVM enables players to save and load the state of the game at any time, enabling a save system atop whatever the reimplemented game may provide. The official project website offers games that are freeware that work directly with ScummVM. ScummVM provides none of the original assets for the games it supports, and expects the user to properly own the original game's media so as to use the software legally. ScummVM is a program that supports numerous adventure game engines via virtual machines, allowing the user to play supported adventure games on their platform of choice. The team behind it also add improvements such as bug-fixes and translations and works with commercial companies such as GOG.com about re-releases. ScummVM is a re-implementation of the part of the software used to interpret the scripting languages such games used to describe the game world rather than emulating the hardware the games ran on as such, ScummVM allows the games it supports to be played on platforms other than those for which they were originally released with little or no overhead (due to not emulating the hardware), and without the bugs that might exist in the original software. ScummVM is free software that is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Ludvig Strigeus. Originally designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM system, it also supports a variety of non-SCUMM games by companies like Revolution Software and Adventure Soft. Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Virtual Machine ( ScummVM) is a set of game engine recreations. Bus fare starts at RM 10 (₱128/$2.36) and travel time is roughly 1 hour and 26 minutes. If you’re staying in this area, from KLIA or KLIA2, you can take a bus to Pudu Raya (Pudu Sentral) Terminal. It is also near many attractions such as the Chinatown, Central Market and the Old Heritage District. If you’re on a budget, Chinatown is a good option. If you’re wondering where to stay in Kuala Lumpur, here are my recommended areas. KLIA EKSPRES: If you’re going to Kuala Lumpur City from the airport (KLIA or KLIA2), you can book the KLIA Ekspres, which will take you directly to KL Sentral. You can top up the Touch’n Go card at rail stations and convenience stores. Just tap it on the reader and the fare will automatically be deducted. MRT/LRT Card: If you plan to commute in Kuala Lumpur using the rail lines and buses, best to purchase the MyRapid Touch’n Go Card, a smartcard ticketing system that can be used on rails and buses, like our own MRT/LRT card. MALAYSIA SIMCARD/POCKET WIFI: While most hotels in Kuala Lumpur have free Wi-Fi, having internet during your tour or getting around the city is indispensable. The standard voltage is 240 V and standard frequency is 50 Hz. MALAYSIA SOCKET: Bring a travel adapter because Malaysia uses a G-type socket same as the British socket. Here’s some things to consider before traveling to Malaysia. no drone flying within 150 m of any outdoor gathering with 1,000 people. no drone flying within 50 m of another human, structure, or building.no drone flying within 4.5km of any airport and military bases.drone flights during the day only and good weather condition.But you must abide by the drone laws in Malaysia. You don’t need permit to fly drones that are less than 20kg in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia, so long as it’s for personal use only. MALAYSIA MONEY AND ATM: 1 MYR (Malaysian Ringgit) is equivalent to roughly ₱12.61 (SGD 0.31/ $0.23).ĭRONE IN MALAYSIA: Is drone allowed in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia? Yes. MALAYSIA TIME : Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia has the same time as the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan. But of course, you can stay longer if you want to explore more of the city and the nearby districts. HOW MANY DAYS TO SPEND IN KUALA LUMPUR: 3-5 days is usually enough to visit the top tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur. But since it’s low season, flights and hotels are way cheaper! I experienced visiting Kuala Lumpur during November (off-peak season), and it was raining every day I had to adjust my itinerary. Just make sure your passport is still valid (not expired) for at least 6 months prior to your entry in Malaysia.īEST TIME TO VISIT KUALA LUMPUR: There’s not really a best time to visit Kuala Lumpur as it is year-round destination, however, March to May and October to November are the rainiest months. MALAYSIA VISA : Philippine Passport holders are entitled to a 30-day Visa-free entry to Malaysia. I broke down the itinerary into 1,2,3,4,5, Days with budget, so you can decide for yourself, how many days you plan to stay in this lively city.

You should be able to use ngons for animation too, as long as the surfaces which deform comprise mostly quads aligned in the direction of motion. For the hair and some stylized strands on the wings I used this free hair plugin, and another one called Xmd hair that you can be found here. I did a subdivision surfaces test in Blender recently and saw that you actually get a higher concentration of polygons when using 1 quad + 1 triangle, versus 1 ngon. ZBrush is a very popular software for creating 3d models of digital characters. It is true that triangles are usually more problematic than ngons. hand, these Z-Brush Monsters seem to point to a subconscious as culprit.

Whatever the case, if you want to learn how to sculpt a Stylized and Appealing Female Face in ZBrush then this course is perfect for you. Or maybe you have never attempted to sculpt a head at all. But in some cases it was a conscious choice to use them, like in the fingernail region, where I think it would have seriously harmed the appearance if I used only quads, unless I made the polycount a lot I guess it’s a matter of style, but I suppose this woman must have just cut her nails, have some nice sculptures at your website! Very glad that you will try using ngons, on account of my work. So you’ve tried your hand at sculpting faces, but some things just didn’t come out the way you imagined they would in your head. I’m hoping that making these hands will have prepared me for the hand assignment in my upcoming sculpture most cases, I would just cut into the mesh wherever I needed to add a form contour, and would then remove the ngons, tris or npoles if they interfered with the surface. I probably won’t add any more details to this particular piece, although it would certainly improve it to do so. I intended to reply earlier, but I’ve been busy practicing in ZBrush to prepare for Scott Eaton’s Digital Figure Sculpture course, which is starting W Preview this course Try for free Get this course plus top-rated picks in tech skills and other popular topics.

As I advanced, however, I found myself challenged by more complex boards. They each add to the game's appeal.Īt first, when I was playing through the first several levels, I thought that Bejeweled was slightly too easy. I found that the music, colors, and design of the game all to be appealing. Although it is simple enough to be learned by anyone, it is also fun enough to be played over long periods of time. These include 'Classic', 'Zen', and 'Lightning'.īejeweled is a fun, addictive game. Once the score is met, a new board with a different background appears.Īlthough several different games have been released in the Bejeweled franchise, most include several different modes for various styles of play. Players can level up by meeting a certain score. Once such a chain is created, the jewels vanish from the board and new pieces are generated. The goal is to create chains of three or more. To score, players must swipe the jewels to positions the are adjacent to other jewels of the same color. Players are presented with a square game board that has randomly assorted jewels of different colors. This brief article will describe how the game is played and also provide a review for those interested in trying Bejeweled for themselves.īejeweled is a color matching game, similar in many ways to the popular Candy Crush application.
