Creating a glyph using spiro points Spiro is the work of Raph Levien, it provides an alternate method of designing a glyph using a set of on-curve points rather than the traditional mixture of on and off curve points used for bezier splines. There are 5 different types of spiro points G4 Curve Points (continuous up to the fourth derivative) G2 Curve Points (continuous up to the second derivative) Bascally this boils down to: If you have a sharp curve you are probably better off using a G2 point, while a more gentle curve would call for a G4. Corner Points Prev Constraint points (to be used when the contour changes from a curve to a straight line) Next Constraint points (to be used when the contour changes from a straight line to a curve) As before let us try to edit the "C" glyph from Ambrosia. This is probably not the best way to edit with spiros.

Photogrammetry Photogrammetry is an estimative scientific method that aims at recovering the exact positions and motion pathways of designated reference points located on any moving object, on its components and in the immediately adjacent environment. Photogrammetry employs high-speed imaging and the accurate methods of remote sensing in order to detect, measure and record complex 2-D and 3-D motion fields (see also SONAR, RADAR, LiDAR etc.). Photogrammetry feeds the measurements from remote sensing and the results of imagery analysis into computational models in an attempt to successively estimate, with increasing accuracy, the actual, 3-D relative motions within the researched field. Its applications include satellite tracking of the relative positioning alterations in all Earth environments (e.g. tectonic motions etc), the research on the swimming of fish, of bird or insect flight, other relative motion processes (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing).

Iridient X-Transformer beta brings much-loved X-Trans processing to Windows: Digital Photography Review Iridient Digital, maker of the popular Iridient Developer Raw conversion software for Mac, has announced a public Beta of a Fujifilm Raw converter utility for Windows. Iridient X-Transformer is a standalone utility that takes RAF files from Fujifilm cameras and demosaics them before saving them as DNG files. This allows Windows users to access the well-regarded processing look that is popular among Mac-owning X-Trans shooters. Camera support covers all but the very latest X-series models and covers cameras both with X-Trans and Bayer color filter patterns. The software is designed to give files that are optimized for the conversion software you then import into, with the option to add tags to prevent Lightroom from duplicating the sharpening or noise reduction you've chosen to apply with X-Transformer, and options defining the handling of lens corrections.

Steps to creating a font... This tutorial is also available as a pdf version. If you wish to follow along with the tutorial, this bundle should provide you with the basic files you need. I shall not presume to teach aesthetics, I concentrate solely on the mechanics here. NOBLEMAN: Now this is what I call workmanship. There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset.

Overcoming My f / Entekaphobia Entekaphobia – fear of the number 11 Or. . . How I Learned to Appreciate Small Aperture Photography If you read my blog much, you know I’m a resolution fanatic. The original DSLR camera simulator Lighting Lighting is the single biggest determinant of how your camera needs to be set. With only a few exceptions, you can never have too much light. Use this slider to experiment with different indoor and outdoor lighting conditions. Distance Use this slider to simulate how close or far you are in relation to the subject.

Are Focal Length Measurements Accurate?: Canon EOS 7D / 10D - 70D Talk Forum Ken T wrote:I have been doing lots of tests, real world and otherwise to try and decide if upgrading from the 75-300 USM to the 70-200L f4 is right for me. In the process I tried to benchmark my 75-300 USM to my 28-135, shooting both at 135mm. With a bit of optics knowledge it is in fact very straightforward to measure precisely the focal length of your lens at any setting. You need to know the following items in whatever precision you need your final result: 1. Distance from your camera sensor to object being photographed, (f1+f2) 2. Length of object being photographed, L

Cecil Beaton's war photography A young sailor on shore leave, taken in Harrogate in 1941, and another subject who the IWM would love to trace. The graffiti is interesting and lends the picture a very modern air indeed. A WREN poses for Beaton in Portsmouth 1941. Besides that she crewed a harbour launch there is nothing else known about her. A young girl points out Lana Turner to her less than fascinated father in Cairo in 1942. Mozilla Firefox Bruno Scilab page Mon tutoriel Scilab : Format A4 pdf (cliquer ici)

Technology on Heels with Lyst Engineering by Carl Ellis on Thu, 13 Feb 2014 At Lyst we process a lot of products from a lot of retailers. However, the product information we get from retailers isn't the same across the industry as: Retailers may categorise products differently to competitors,Retailers may not provide every bit of information that we need,Retailers may have large catalogues and use vague auto-generated descriptions. Due to this, we have to ensure that each product has all the information that we require (such as category, colour, etc.) and that the information is consistent across the site. For example, what Asos may consider a shoulder bag, Gucci may consider a handbag.

FastTrack Office 365 Education includes Microsoft Classroom, a homepage where teachers can manage all of their classes and assignments online. Teachers can manage multiple class sections (like Biology A and Biology B), create or manage assignments and grading, collaborate with other teachers in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and provide feedback to students with built-in Class Notebooks. In Classroom, students can collaborate with their teachers, their classmates, and access all the materials to be successful in the class even when they are absent. With Sway integrated, teachers can create interactive web-based lessons, assignments, project recaps, newsletters, and more—right from a phone, tablet, or browser— and even embed a quiz with the new Microsoft Forms. Students can access all their assignments on their mobile devices (Classroom app).

I-V Curve Using the related tool bar button (the one on which M1 is written), you can put markers on the curves plotted. At this point you can verify, from the two points that the variable lambda is 0.4; this is where this tool is very handy for me : it gives exactly what you calculate by hand, provided that you set device parameters accordingly. Event hough, this sounds very normal, it is never the case for commercial simulators since they use extremely complicated models that are extracted for a specific technology. So sometimes you loose the taste of the initial design phase :) in which everything is under control. For having the idea on how to do the verification mentioned above, you can also see another tutorial performed with another tool but the idea is exactly the same. (See especialy Method #1 in that tutor)
