![]() all intermediate files can be visualied with GIS tools ( request from martin ).all vector data will be draped over the terrain - although we may still cut in some smoothing polys * airports will be draped over a smoothed terrain within the airport boundaries ( changing airport layout will not require new tg-construct run unless boundary is changed ).I 'started from scratch' with a couple assumptions:.But when trying to simplify these tiles, large holes get generated as the mesh is non manifold. I couldn't get any library to succeed for more than a few hundred tiles. This was necessary, as triangulating the whole tile with OSM roads cut-in was very unstable. This exposed a major weakness in the toolchain used for ws2.0 - It triangulated landclass polys individually instead of whole tile at a time. It's been a year since I started working on LOD ( using Mathias'.This allows us to draw an entire tile (other than linear road / rail / stream ) in one openGL draw call.Ī brief status update on what I am currently doing on the master branch: It would be nice to have all landclass images and this single per tile image to all have the same resolution, so we could use a texture array. probably 8 bits for landclass, and 8 bits for region is enough. We could also encode regional definitions into the same raster image to support irregular shaped region encoding. If we have a per tile raster image with the landclasses encoded, then the borders between landclasses can be smoothed / modified by the shaders. The second idea is to use multiple tcs to allow landclass shaders to know where in a tile they are located. The btg format should be expanded to allow vertex indices (of a triagle) to have attributes. In openGL, a vertex attribute would be passed to the shader to relay the information. To do this, he needs to know where in the runway polygon, the thresholds are. i4dnf would also like to add dirty / tire marks to the runways. 1 primary set to look up the line texture in the texture atlas, and another set relative to the origin of the pavement. BTG file needs to support multiple texture coordinates. The marking shader needs to know the underlying pavement origin. and bump mapping / dirtying effects cannot be normalized between the line and pavement - leading to visual artifacts. We have this somewhat working now, but the pavement shader is completely clueless about the marking shader. The first idea is separating the runway markings from the pavement. btg file format is extensible, so this may not require major changes and 'could' be backward compatible. As we move to a new scenery structure, that may not be 100% backward compatible, we should be able to add some additional capabilities to the. SPT files expect.Īfter conversing with i4dnf, some extra ideas have come up to fix some of the long standing scenery issues. The output directory needs to match what simgear. The Work directory structure will be overhauled to handle arbitrary tile sizes. In the terragear toolchain, there are 3 main directories: Data, Work, and Output. The lowest detail level being a sphere with a global texture. Optional fourth level and more LODs would be refinements to the third - lower res mesh, and more landclass combining) ![]() possibly combining a small area landclass with it's neighbor. To be determined, is how to simplify the landclass polygons. The third level of detail is a simplified mesh, with simplified airports (no bezier interpolation) created as landclass polys (runway, taxiway, and grass). Airports are still smoothed, and cut in to the terrain. The second level of detail maintains the same elevation mesh, but removes line data from both airports and terrain. The highest detail level being identical to WS2.0. Ideally, we would like to have at least 4 levels of detail. So our job, is to update the tools to be able to generate the scenery automatically. ![]() The good news is, this new system is already in simgear (thanks to Mathias), and has been tested with 'hand stitched'. Although WS2.0 will continue to receive updates, and bug fixes, I'd like to start planning for the next major overhaul.įor World Scenery 3.0, flightgear will have a LOD system for the underlying mesh. After 2 1/2 years of development, the tool-chain is considered stable. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() He played in seven games as a backup guard. On June 16, 1999, he signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers. Despite playing in the trenches, Newton was one of the more colorful players in Cowboys history. He was a very powerful player and was known from some great confrontations against Reggie White among other great players. He was one of the best guards in the NFL for over a decade. His ability to protect quarterback Troy Aikman and to run-block for running back Emmitt Smith helped the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls in 1992, 1993, and 1995. He was not re-signed by the Cowboys after his contract expired at the end of the 1998 season. He is tied with Rayfield Wright and John Niland for six appearances each. Only Larry Allen (10) has been to more Pro Bowls with the Cowboys on the offensive line. Newton was a six-time Pro Bowler, attending the game from 1992 through 1996 and once again in 1998. From 1992 to 1995, together with Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei, Mark Stepnoski, John Gesek and Kevin Gogan, he was part of some of the best offensive lines to play in NFL history, known as “The Great Wall of Dallas”. In 1992, because of the improved play of Erik Williams, he was moved back to left guard, in order for the team to have the best player combination possible in the offensive line. Jimmy Johnson became the Cowboys coach in 1989 and eventually moved him to the starting right tackle position and forced him to get into better shape after Johnson beat him in a running race. Even though he became a starter at left guard in 1987, his struggles to maintain his playing weight almost cost him being waived. He started out as a reserve offensive lineman, and was nicknamed "the Kitchen" because he was bigger than William "The Refrigerator" Perry, of Chicago Bears fame. In 1986, Newton signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys after the USFL folded. He played there for two years (19) as an offensive tackle, under head coach Steve Spurrier. In February 1984, he signed with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the defunct United States Football League, who drafted him in 1983, in what the USFL called a Territorial Draft. On August 29, 1983, he was waived and was injured in a serious car accident on the same night he was cut. Professional career Washington Redskins Īlthough he was selected by the Tampa Bay Bandits in the 1983 USFL Territorial Draft, he opted to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins in May. In 2022, he was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame. ![]() In 1994, he was inducted into the Florida A&M University Sports Hall of Fame. As a senior, he received All-MEAC honors playing at right tackle. As a junior, he was moved to the offense full-time. As a sophomore, he played in both the offensive and defensive line. In football he played as a fullback until his junior year, when he outgrew the position and was moved to the defensive line.Īlthough he had Division I colleges recruiting him, he chose to remain close to home and accepted a football scholarship from Florida A&M University. Newton attended Jones High School where he played football, basketball, wrestling and shot put. He played college football for the Florida A&M Rattlers. He also was a member of the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League (USFL).

Similarly, in another sexual assault case where the victim-plaintiff claimed that the incident adversely affected her sexual relations with her husband, the Appellate Division, Third Department, held that the plaintiff did not have to answer any questions about her sexual history prior to her marriage to her husband.9 The court ruled this way because of the burden it would place upon the victim-plaintiff and the fact that the plaintiff's claims of sexual dysfunction were confined only to her marital relationship and not previous ones. One such example would be asking a rape victim to identify her prior sexual partners as well as the positions which she performed during those encounters.8 It is extremely difficult to prove the heavy burden normally associated with improper questions and only some of the most extraordinarily improper questions reach this burden. ![]() Further, a review of the plaintiff's deposition transcript revealed that the plaintiff had answered all other fact-based questions regarding his lost wages.7 The second question the plaintiff properly objected to was whether he had a "calculation as to any lost wages that would claim as a result of this incident."6 The court stated that answering this question would be improper because it primarily sought a legal conclusion. ![]() The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, ruled this question objectionable on the grounds that it compelled plaintiff to answer questions seeking legal and factual conclusions or draw inferences from the facts. ![]() The first question concerned whether the defendant supplied any defective, unsafe or improper devices or materials which caused the plaintiff's fall or whether the work area appeared to be unreasonably dangerous. Hoang,5 a case in which the plaintiff fell from a ladder while removing a light fixture, the plaintiff properly refused However, "iven the liberal nature of discovery, the burden is high to establish that a discovery question is palpably irrelevant or grossly improper or burdensome."4 Some questions that are considered palpably improper or irrelevant are those that seek a conclusion of fact or law, are largely related to a party's understanding of their ultimate legal contentions, force a witness to draw inferences from the facts, or are grossly irrelevant or burdensome to the witness. The four categories reflect the well-settled "standard governing the appropriate scope of questioning at a deposition is not based on admissibility at trial, but on whether the questioning relates to the controversy and will assist in trial preparation."3 Palpably Improper Question These categories are (1) the palpably improper or irrelevant question (2) privileged communications (3) a defendant- physician's opinion of co-defendant's alleged medical malpractice and (4) the right against self-incrimination.2 In a personal injury action there are four main categories of questions which an attorney can instruct his client not to answer. An attorney shall not direct a deponent not to answer except as provided in CPLR Rule 3115 or this subdivision.1Īn objection under Section 221.2 must be clearly stated by the witness' counsel in order to preserve it in case of appeal. deponent shall answer all questions at a deposition, except (i) to preserve a privilege or right of confidentiality, (ii) to enforce a limitation set forth in an order of a court, or (iii) when the question is plainly improper and would, if answered, cause significant prejudice to any person. In 2006, however, 22 NYCRR §221.2 became effective and codified some of the objections that had arisen under the previous statute. Historically, CPLR §3115 has governed the process by which attorneys have objected to questions during an examination before trial. ![]() ![]() ![]()

News and politics: 4/5 You can find a lot of political commentary from both the left and the right on YouTube TV, but you won’t find Newsmax or Vice, or any C-SPAN channels (which are common with most traditional TV providers). We also really like the Curiosity Stream add-on for educational documentaries and the Hopster Learning add-on for little kids. You will miss out on favorites like Science and History, but you get multiple Disney and Nickelodeon options and a dedicated channel for PBS Kids. That said, you can watch and DVR games in 4K if you get the unlimited add-on for about $10 a month.įamily and education: 4/5 YouTube TV has a lot to offer for kids and anyone interested in using their screen time to learn about the world. ![]() No MLB coverage is disappointing (2), and you’ll miss out on some regional major league games, even with the sports add-on. It comes with NFL RedZone, live poker and billiards, OutsideTV+, and FOX Soccer. We also like that you get your local channels, TNT, USA Network, and more, and the sports add-on is nice for the price. (1) Beyond pig skins, we love that NBA TV and the Golf Channel are included with the base channel price. Having the option to buy NFL Sunday Ticket is fantastic, with regular prices of $349–$389 per season for YouTube TV subscribers and $449-$489 if you just want the football and not live TV. Sports: 4/5 There are some things we love for sports fans with YouTube TV, and others we really dislike. However, you won’t find Antenna TV, and Estrella TV is available only as an add-on. ![]() You even get multiple Spanish-language local channels with YouTube TV. Local: 4/5 YouTube TV carries almost all your local networks, unlike competitor Philo, and even offers PBS, unlike Hulu + Live TV. We think YouTube TV is a good option if you want a classic live TV experience with a solid on-demand library, but we have a couple minor complaints. YouTube TV offers a well-rounded channel selection, ranging from sports and entertainment to news and network TV. You can’t get Ion or Ion Mystery either way, which is a bummer, but there are still hundreds of channels to choose from. That said, you get channels like Investigation Discovery (ID), TLC, Hallmark, and INSP with the regular package price. You’ll have to pay extra for HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, and CINEMAX, or for an Entertainment View add-on that includes NFL Network, OWN, and the Cooking Channel. If your primary reason to pay for live TV is to stay up to date, we think you’ll be pretty happy with what Spectrum has to offer.Įntertainment and lifestyle: 3.5/5 Spectrum TV’s lineup for movies, home improvement shows, reality TV, and true crime is just OK. You get national networks CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, plus all the news that comes with local channels. News and politics: 4.5/5 Spectrum doesn’t offer the hotly debated Newsmax channel at its base price, but it has almost everything else news junkies crave. ![]() It’s not great, but it’s not awful either. You do get PBS, though, plus the regular Disney channel, Family Entertainment TV (FETV), and Discovery. Smithsonian’s out, too, and Science (you can get some of these with the Entertainment View add-on, but it costs $12 extra each month). You won’t get Disney Jr., Nat Geo Wild, Cartoon Network, or Nick Jr., unfortunately. The sports pack is a breezy $6 per month, which isn’t bad, but we’d still prefer the channels be in the standard package.įamily and education: 3/5 Spectrum TV also earns a passing grade for kids shows, but it’s nothing to write home. You may be eligible for various regional sports networks, but they almost always cost extra. ![]() You’ll get national games on the local networks and coverage from networks like TNT and FS1, but you’ll have to pay extra for goodies like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, and the ESPN College Extra. Sports: 3/5 Spectrum TV is only passable when it comes to sports. You’ll miss out on a few smaller local networks in some areas, such as Antenna TV and Estrella TV, but we have no major complaints. You get the big four-NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX-plus The CW and Spanish-language channels. Local: 4/5 Spectrum does a great job of providing local channels throughout the hundreds of markets it covers. Your exact channel lineup depends on where you live (and some areas even have unique package options), so enter your address and check the channel guide as you decide. You get more than 125 channels with TV SELECT and more than 140 channels on MI PLAN LATINO, but those are your only package options.

Note that you can’t export the animation with multiple characters and/or objects, you will have to separate them into individual blend files later. Importing characters and objects allows you to align everything properly in one whole animation. The tutorial by SouthernShotty is actually a more advanced look at keyframes, but it should help you refine your knowledge on keyframes to improve quality of your animation once you learn the basics. Keyframe Animation for Beginners by SouthernShotty Manipulating models, animating camera, or rendering isn't useful for animating for The Sims 4. The beginner tutorial by Ryan King Art will explain to you how to use the timeline, add keyframes, edit keyframes, keyframe interpolation, how to use the graph editor. This is general knowledge of using Blender for animating, so check out the linked video tutorials to learn before proceeding. You have to know how to move the camera, what a Timeline is and how to use it, what bones are and how to manipulate them, and how to combine all that knowledge to be able to animate characters. If the male is animated with testicle movement, make sure to not allow animated vagina or prevent the role from being occupied by a female Sim.įor anybody who have never used Blender or never animated in Blender, it's important you learn the basics first. By default all animation actors DON'T use the animated vagina model to prevent issues with unwanted vagina movement if a role was designed for FEMALE+BOTH with testicle movement due to the bones being shared. The body used depends on the variable set in the actor XML ("animation_has_animated_vagina"). Female Sim body has two dynamically switching models, one that has an animated vagina and one that doesn't have an animated vagina. The vagina is animated using the 'b_Penis_Testicles', 'b_Penis_L_Testicle, 'b_Penis_R_Testicle' bones.The rig comes with double usage of certain bones depending if you're animating a male or female Sim.

But if you’re worried about your kid, if he or she already plays a console, you don’t have to worry they’ll see it there, because the makers of consoles - Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo - won’t even greenlight happy relationship sex games. Clearly some pervs somewhere are playing it on their PCs. Kids very, very likely are not playing it. So what I’m saying is, ban or not for "Rapelay," which sounds pretty awful, don’t confuse its rareness for general gaming at large. After that brief bit of consensual sex, you in "God of War" go on to do hours and hours of non-sexual killing. In "God of War" games, in one scene only, you see some topless women trying to get your attention, then you press some buttons on your hand controller, the viewpoint changes to a side table next to the sex, you hear a few moans, and it’s all over much much quicker than any woman would want, consensually. The one game with concensual sex I can think of, for PlayStation consoles, are "God of War" titles, and in those "God of War" games, you don’t see anything sexual. Two of those three game series with consensual sex that I mentioned are not available for those systems. Not one of those systems has ever greenlighted a game with a rape, as far as I know, and I’ve been reviewing games for all five of those platforms since they hit the market years ago. I fact, I managed to trace the game on a particular site which also included the game mechanics. You were right, game was released and translated years ago and yet no faq. This includes the Xbox 360, the PS 3, the Wii, the handheld DS and the handheld PSP. Thanks for the effort Yusaku but, any individual with an average IQ could get this game running by simply googling it. Everyone started buying console game systems. A Japanese videogame developer that specializes in pornographic games. Do you see what I’m saying? Game companies just don’t make games like this, except apparently for the maker of "RapeLay" in Japan. OK, you say, then what about this "RapeLay?" Well, "RapeLay" is a PC game available from Japan, just as "Faces of Death" was not a mainstream movie that you would ever find at a Blockbuster. The reason I bring this up is that parents and politicians often hear of one thing about one insanely rare video game and wish a pox on the whole house of video games. And those three games were not graphic about it. I can count three (if you count the "God of War" series as one title) where you actually control a male main character in a quest to bed a woman consensually. I can count on one hand the number of those games that included even naked breasts. I have reviewed hundreds upon hundreds of video games in the 2000s. So please, parents and politicians, feel free to dog "RapeLay" but leave regular gaming out of it. While "RapeLay" does sound repugnant and beyond, I would like to strongly urge everyone to realize this: "Rapelay" is a very rare - unique in fact - video game, in that games hardly ever deal with soft sexual themes, let alone rape. ![]() ![]() The game was made by a company that previously made "Battle Raper." "RapeLay" was for some time available for purchase on Amazon, until someone alerted Amazon to what "RapeLay" was, then the site stopped selling it.Ī writer for Slate points out that this game comes not from the United States but from Japan: "It’s an old cliché that the more repressed a society, the more extreme its pornography."īut there is something far more important to consider, I suggest. And frankly, the details don’t take up much ink. I don’t want to go into all the nitty gritty details. " RapeLay" came out three years ago, but is now suddenly getting some press, as a New York politician denounced the game and called for its banning - thus making it more widely known, so don’t be surprised if sales start upticking.
