Spectators embraced the oozing sexiness that continued into "Pancake," and Tori played into the rise she was giving them.īy the fourth song of the set, "Cornflake girl," Tori was at her most natural. The crowd loved her passion and in return, her performance soared. She seemed to fall into rapture with her music one foot on the ground and the other on the piano bench, she launched into the raucous "Big Wheel" while grinding her piano bench. With a heavy rotation off of her 2002 "Scarlet's Walk" album rather than "American Doll Posse," Tori's voice came through with more confidence and emotion in the second set. Tori waved and smiled, looking into the audience for the first time. With a carrot orange waist-length hair and sequined, blue, one-shouldered catsuit, the artist who emerged after intermission was a vision of camp virtuosity. ![]() A weak and wobbly light that didn't hold a candle to the power of Amos' lyrics, which often address religion, sexual assault and personal tragedies. On "Scarlet's Walk," her use of an electric lantern as a prop, swinging from Isabel's left hand while she played the keyboard with the right, seemed gimmicky. With her bassist, guitarist and drummer spread to the corners of the stage, the eye focuses on Isabel ? but gets little in return. Moments of showmanship, like Isabel playing the piano with her left hand and the keyboard with her right on "Sweet Dreams," come off as cocky rather than inspired. Mann Performing Arts Halls, where spectators in the front are close enough to see the details of her sky-high pumps, geometric print wrap dress, and straw-like blonde wig, not addressing the people who paid to see you for the first third of your show seems, well, obnoxious.

We decided that rather than just remove the Touch Bar and lose the benefits some people get, we could instead add the Escape key.” It was just a hard adaptation for a lot of people. 1 was customers who like a physical Escape key. “There is a fairly large number of customers who use the Touch Bar and see great benefit in some of its features, but there were also some complaints. The 16-inch MacBook Pro replaced the virtual escape key with a physical key (and a slightly narrower touch panel).Īt the time, Apple’s Phil Schiller explained it this way: It’s that the Touch Bar virtually never changed despite being presented as something dynamic.Īpple did address one of the initial complaints about the Touch Bar in 2019. The problem isn’t that the Touch Bar was perfect and now it’s going away. Now the Touch Bar appears to be dead, and the Mac couldn’t be more alive. ![]() I really think that Touch Bar is proof of it.” “To me, it’s example number one of whatever else is going on with the Macs, and some of the machines that have gone way too long without being updated, it’s clear that Apple is invested in the Mac. So an awful lot of work went into this and I completely agree. Then in between those two, there’s the Xcode side where the people who work on the APIs and Xcode itself had to make it where Mac developers have APIs and a simulator so they can test it on machines that don’t have Touch Bars. All of these apps got updated with Touch Bar support which is a lot of work. They all seem like a lot of thought went into them. Whether they got it right or wrong, none of them seemed half-assed. “So there’s the physical hardware engineering of that, and then the second level is the Mac programming side where all of these apps are updated. It’s 60 FPS just like iOS and it’s instantaneous touch. So the Intel side does the GPU rendering and has to go back, but it’s all done securely and there’s a whole bunch of electrical engineering going on there and you’d never know it. One of the things that the iOS device on the Touch Bar doesn’t have is a GPU. ![]() “You’ve got this little ARM computer running on your keyboard, and it communicates with the Intel side. “There’s the hardware engineering work of actually putting an embedded iOS device into the keyboard with this system-on-a-chip and having a way that it can interface with the Intel side,” Gruber replied. “For people who say Apple doesn’t care about the Mac, they built this whole new bit of hardware, and then they updated all these Mac apps to support it. When the Touch Bar first debuted on the MacBook Pro, Jason Snell and John Gruber correctly argued that the investment in a brand new interface on the Mac countered the notion that the Mac was a dead platform. Love or hate the Touch Bar, that’s a bad thing. What Kuo doesn’t forecast is a future for the Touch Bar, the strip of touchscreen panel Apple added to the MacBook Pro in 2016.

![]() ![]() Instead of Civilization’s barbarians, Beyond Earth has a variety of alien lifeforms, some more aggressive than others. This is most noticeable when dealing with the planet’s indigenous creatures. Although it does have narrative elements, and certain signature aspects of Alpha Centauri have crept in, Beyond Earth is very much its own game. That said, if I had come to Beyond Earth looking for a direct sequel or a modern update to the 1999 game, I would have been wildly disappointed. I was taken in by the living world aspect and the deep narrative with elements pulled from science fiction of the day. ![]() I played Alpha Centauri extensively during a long Late Winter in San Francisco. Firaxis has since regained many IPs from now-defunct Microprose, but due to the vagaries of the game business, Alpha Centauri resides with its publisher, EA. One of the first games developed by Firaxis following its founders’ departure from Microprose, Alpha Centauri had the benefit of the expertise of Civilization Creator Sid Meier, but without the Civilization IP. It’s impossible to play Beyond Earth without comparing it to the 'other' Civ-in-space game, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. Other civs will respond to you (or not) based on your affinity, and actions you take in the world can impact your affinity score.īesides, who doesn’t like launching stuff into space? Whereas the Harmony affinity will grant you access to alien-based units and the ability to tolerate the new world’s harsh alien environment. Specializing in Supremacy will unlock robot soldiers, for example. Finally, Supremacy lets you make your civ’s humans into cyborgs with giant robot friends.Įach affinity allows for slightly different victories and affinity-only units, and can have a dramatic effect on your overall game. Purity focuses on genetic manipulation of the human genome to build better versions of your civ. The Harmony affinity is what it sounds like, allowing you to meld with the new planet’s lifeforms and create new alien units. Trade routes feature prominently in Beyond Earth, for one thing, as does a new strategic component much like Gods & Kings’s religions, called Affinities.Īffinities allow you to evolve your Beyond Earth civ beyond its human origins, focusing research on technologies that will play to how you want to interface with your new world and its inhabitants. ![]() Beyond Earth brings some of the better reinventions along with it. On the one hand, there are many worse 4X strategy games to emulate than Civ 5, and as that game’s expansions have proved, while it redesigned much of the original Civ formula, it left a lot of room on the table for reinventing itself. But the experience of cracking it open, watching my colony ship settle onto a completely dark map and then setting foot onto this alien world felt just like playing Civ 5-at first. Beyond Earth has a lot of new looks: new units, new victories, a completely new tech tree (actually, it’s a web), new leaders, new civilizations and a handful of things under the hood that are also completely new. ![]() ![]() It's always good to know how something is made, though. In fact, it's close enough that it's probably good enough for most of your needs. The mia_material_x has a glass preset called solid glass that is close to the shader you just created. You should see the result change quite a bit. Open the BRDF tab (short for Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) in the material attributes window, and check the box labeled Use Fresnel Reflection. This is called the Fresnel effect.īecause the Fresnel effect is a relatively common phenomenon, the mia_material has a Fresnel attribute built into it. Now the surface of the glass display is uniformly reflective when, in reality, you should see weaker highlights where the glass faces the camera and stronger highlights toward the edges where the glass curves away. You want to retain the reflected environment but lose the specular-related highlights that are currently showing up in the renders.įind the Specular Balance attribute under the Advanced tab and set it to zero. It's still an important attribute in CG surfacing, but in this case, it's giving you a less realistic result than you'd like to see. Specular highlights are a holdover from earlier days of CG when glossy reflections had to be faked. Right now the mia_material is reflecting the environment, which is good, but it's also computing glossy reflections based on specularity, which is bad. If you compare your current result with real-world glass, you'll see that the surface is currently a bit too busy to be called realistic. If you do a test render at this point, you'll see that you're getting close to having decent-looking glass, but there are still two attributes you need to know about. Leave the glossiness value at 1.0 and change reflectivity to a value somewhere between 0.8 and 1. A little bit of subjectivity is OK here depending on the look you want in your final image, but the reflectivity value shouldn't drop below 0.8. Even when it is clear, the glass should have a high amount of glossiness and reflectivity. The Reflection tab determines how much of the glass's environment is reflected in the final render. You're creating a fully transparent glass shader, so set the transparency value to 1. The last thing you need to tweak in the refraction tab is the transparency value. Crown glass has a real-world index of refraction at approximately 1.52. Water has an index of refraction around 1.3. If you hover over the Index of Refraction tab, a small list of approximate values for different materials pops up. The first thing you need to adjust is the index of refraction parameter, which corresponds to a relatively specific real-world index of refraction values that exists for all naturally transparent surfaces. The Refraction tab is where you deal with the glass material’s transparency value. Under the diffuse tab, change the value of the weight slider to zero. Because the glass in this example is clear, you do not need any diffuse reflections in the shader. Diffuse light gives a form its surface color. You're creating a colorless, clear glass, so the job in the Diffuse tab is incredibly straightforward. Your success in rendering glass depends on how well you set several parameters: Diffuse, Refraction, Reflection, Specularity, and Fresnel Effect. Arriving at a basic glass shader is relatively simple-things only begin to get tricky when you need to fill the glass with a liquid. Some of them will be important to you, but a lot of them you can ignore. The mia material has a vast array of options. Set up a test scene with a basic piece of geometry and some simple studio lighting to work through the process of setting the parameters in Mental Ray. The standard MIA shader is a neutral gray with a sharp specular highlight. To find mia_material_x, click the Hypershade window > Mental Ray > Materials > mia_material_x. The mia_material_x node should form the basis of nearly every material you build in Maya, aside from skin shaders. Mental Ray's Mia shader is an all-purpose material network designed to be a physically accurate solution for just about any inorganic surface you can imagine including chrome, stone, wood, glass, and ceramic tile. This article explains how to render glass in Maya using the Mental Ray renderer plugin with the mia_material_x shader. Next, open BRDF tab > select Use Fresnel Reflection.

She sang with the Kay Kyser Orchestra on radio, and recorded two singles with his band, "As Long As I Live" and "Boin-n-n-ng!" She also cut a 78 rpm album that year for Columbia Records, Let's Put Out the Lights, which included eight torch ballads and cover art that included a diaphanous gown that for once put the focus more on her legs than on her breasts. In 1947, Russell launched a musical career. ![]() With Dorothy Lamour, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in Road to Bali (1952) The film went over budget by $600,000 and was a box office failure. She did not appear in another movie until 1946, when she played Joan Kenwood in Young Widow for Hunt Stromberg, who released it through United Artists. I've seen plenty of pin-up pictures that have sex appeal, interest, and allure, but they're not vulgar. I don't think a star has any business posing in a vulgar way. Speaking about her sex appeal, Russell later said, "Sex appeal is good – but not in bad taste. She was a popular pin-up photo with servicemen during World War II. He joked, "Culture is the ability to describe Jane Russell without moving your hands." Howard Hughes said, "There are two good reasons why men go to see her. Her favorite co-star Bob Hope once introduced her as "the two and only Jane Russell". Russell's measurements were 38-24-36, and she stood 5 ft 7 in (97-61-91 cm and 1.7 m), making her more statuesque than most of her contemporaries. According to Jane's 1985 autobiography, she said that the bra was so uncomfortable that she secretly discarded it and wore her own bra with the cups padded with tissue and the straps pulled up to elevate her breasts. Contrary to countless incorrect reports in the media since the release of The Outlaw, Russell did not wear the specially designed underwire bra that Howard Hughes had designed and made for her to wear during filming. During that time, Russell was kept busy doing publicity and became known nationally. When the movie was finally passed, it had a general release in 1946. ![]() Problems occurred with the censorship of the production code over the way her ample cleavage was displayed in promotion of the film. The movie was completed in 1941, but it was not released until 1943 in a limited release. In 1940, Russell was signed to a seven-year contract by film mogul Howard Hughes, and made her motion-picture debut in The Outlaw (1943), a story about Billy the Kid that went to great lengths to showcase her voluptuous figure. Publicity still of Russell in The Outlaw by George Hurrell She also modeled for photographers, and, at the urging of her mother, studied drama and acting with Max Reinhardt's Theatrical Workshop and with actress and acting coach Maria Ouspenskaya.

Russell's mother arranged for her to take piano lessons. The family then moved to Southern California where her father worked as an office manager.
