![]() Yggdragon bestows upon the Luminary the title of "Erdrick," the mightiest of all heroes, and keeps the Sword for the day when a new hero will need it to defend Erdrea from evil. ![]() Accompanied by Veronica and Serena, he also returns the Sword of Light to Yggdrasil, who reveals itself to be Yggdragon, an ancient dragon of light defeated by Calasmos ages ago, whose body transformed into the tree Yggdrasil and gave life to Erdrea. The party then confronts and destroys Calasmos before the Luminary entrusts his mark to Serenica, who reverts to her original form and uses it to return to the past and reunite with Erdwin. Since he could not be destroyed forever without the power of the Luminary, Serenica, Erdwin's former sage companion and lover, sealed the weakened Calasmos within Erdwin's Lantern and attempted to return to the past at the Tower of Lost Time but was turned into the Timekeeper instead. The party learns that a prior Luminary named Erdwin was betrayed and killed by his mage companion Morcant, who absorbed Calasmos' powers and transformed into Mordegon. However, due to Mordegon's absence, Erdwin's Lantern wasn't destroyed therefore, the dark spirit can merge with it and awaken as the game's other main antagonist: The Dark One, Calasmos. There, they meet the Timekeeper, who gives the Luminary the power to go back in time and defeat Mordegon before he can steal the Sword of Light and Yggdrasil's heart, thus saving Veronica from sacrificing herself and preventing Mordegon's dark age. After reuniting with the rest of the party, except for Veronica, who perished saving the others during the fall of Yggdrasil, the Luminary obtains the means to forge a new Sword of Light, which they use to defeat Jasper and Mordegon, restoring Yggdrasil and the world.Īfterward, the party discovers the means to bring Veronica (and other people who perished) back to the Tower of Lost Time. At one point, a dark spirit summons a mysterious orb called Erdwin's Lantern however, Mordegon destroys it, so no one stands in his way. Hendrik joins forces with the Luminary, and together they reclaim Heliodor from Mordegon's forces. ![]() Separated from the others, the Luminary returns to Cobblestone, turned into a fortified refuge for Heliodor citizens led by Carnelian and Hendrik, who apologize to the Luminary for all the troubles they caused him. The two subdue Hendrik and the Luminary's party, with Mordegon taking the Sword of Light, corrupting it into the Sword of Shadows, and absorbing the heart of Yggdrasil, destroying the tree and plunging the world into an age of darkness. It is revealed that Carnelian was possessed by an evil sorcerer known as Mordegon, who also was responsible for Dundrasil's destruction, and Jasper is Mordegon's agent. However, just as the Luminary is about to take it, he and the party are intercepted by Carnelian and his retainers, Jasper and Hendrik. The party eventually arrives at the heart of Yggdrasil, which contains the Sword of Light, the Luminary's destined weapon. ![]() On their quest to help the Luminary reach Yggdrasil, they gain three other companions: Sylvando, a traveling entertainer Jade, the exiled princess of Heliodor who helped the infant protagonist escape during the attack of Dundrasil and Rab, the former king of Dundrasil and the protagonist's grandfather. The pair escape and evade capture, later joined by two mages: Veronica, trapped in a child's body due to a curse, and her twin sister, Serena. Imprisoned, the protagonist meets a thief named Erik, who reveals that he was sent to meet him, as the mark on his hand is proof that he is the Luminary, a legendary hero chosen by the world tree Yggdrasil to save Erdrea from evil. However, the king accuses him of being an evil entity and throws him into the dungeons. After the protagonist's coming-of-age ceremony, Amber reveals the truth about his birth and adoption and sends him to meet King Carnelian of Heliodor. The protagonist is adopted by Chalky's daughter Amber and raised in the town. The protagonist, an infant during the attack, survives and is found floating down a river by an older man named Chalky in the village of Cobblestone. It begins as the kingdom of Dundrasil is invaded and destroyed by an army of monsters.

There are two things to consider when deciding when to prune a maple bonsai: ensuring you prune at a time when the tree can repair the damage, and avoiding sap bleeding from the tree when you prune. We'll look at each of these techniques in turn so you have all the tools you need to advance your maple bonsais. Maples in early development will need the structural branches selected, while a bonsai in secondary development or refinement will need more focussed pruning of secondary branches, as well as partial defoliation and pinching to encourage ramification. You can control growth on a Japanese maple using various methods, but it all depends on what stage of development your tree is at. So while it can be tempting to grow a Japanese Maple bonsai indoors, it isn't fair on the tree or yourself and it will be much happier outside where it belongs. ![]() Without a period of dormancy every year, a Japanese Maple tree will slowly lose strength and die over the course of a few years. This can make it harder for the tree to photosynthesize, and will also contribute to the elongated growth we mentioned above.įinally, the cold and dark conditions required for winter dormancy can't be replicated indoors. Also, the levels of UV light in your house will be less than they are outside, as the light is filtered by your windows. The environment indoors tends to be far warmer and drier than outdoors, which increases the water demands on your tree. ![]() Sadly, I have not found this to be true (it may be possible, but it is very difficult and honestly not worth the effort). It is fairly common to see sources on the internet claiming Japanese Maple bonsai trees can be grown indoors. The winter protection you provide could range anywhere from heeling the tree in with leaves or mulch, placing it in a wind shelter or cold frame, or even moving it into a heated or unheated greenhouse. However, if you have a tree that is very old, has been in a bonsai container for a very long time, or showed a health issue or weak growth through the year, you may want to consider some protection. However, this all depends on your environment and the bonsai itself.Īt temperatures above -10☌ (15☏), you will not need to provide any winter protection for most Acer palmatum bonsai. The species is frost tolerant and does not necessarily require any special winter protection. Japanese maple trees are deciduous and require a period of winter dormancy each year. This will diminish your ability to create a finely ramified bonsai with tight internodes, so avoid overly shading your maples if they don't need it. This is the tree's natural response to being shaded out - it tries to elongate its growth to find better sunlight levels. Japanese Maple bonsai will develop longer internodes and less ramification if they are grown in the shade. They are vulnerable to leaf burn in higher temperatures, so when it gets hotter than around 30☌ (85☏) consider placing them in partial shade. Japanese Maple bonsai should be cultivated outdoors, and thrive in sunny locations. ![]() This is one of the reasons I love Japanese Maple as a bonsai subject - it is accessible to beginners but has plenty to motivate advanced practitioners to improve their trees. The species is native to Japan, Korea, and China, and derives its name from the Latin term for palm, which references the five-pointed lobes of its leaves that resemble the fingers of a hand.Īcer palmatum is fairly straightforward to care for as a bonsai, but to really get the best out of them there are many nuances to their pruning, repotting, and fertilization that can take your tree to the next level. Its smooth, unblemished trunk, plate-like nebari, and delicate, intricately ramified branches make it an ideal subject for bonsai enthusiasts. In this blog, we'll delve into the fundamentals of Japanese Maple bonsai care, providing helpful tips and guidance for both beginners and experienced growers.Īcer palmatum is a beloved and iconic species in the world of bonsai. Although it requires a bit more attention compared to some other bonsai species, the effort put into its care is well worth it for the end result. With its graceful appearance and stunning fall foliage, Japanese Maple bonsai is highly prized among enthusiasts. Japanese Maple, or Acer palmatum, is a popular species of tree in bonsai culture due to its delicate leaves, vibrant colors, and unique branching patterns. ![]() She’s less than sympathetic, and tells him to try to make the best of it. Debbie becomes the major catalyst for Graham’s personal development as the movie goes on.įrustrated by what he sees as the crudeness of the music - and of his bandmates - Graham calls Jane for a whinge. The fact that Graham seems to think that his symphony tailsuit and white tie (he does leave off the tailcoat) is suitable attire for a country bass player shows just how far he has to go to in touch with his current reality.Īnyway, after the first gig, Graham meets Debbie, Frank’s daughter and the back-up vocalist for the Cats, who warmly takes Graham’s boasting about his musicial credentials in her stride. The first of many gig scenes ensued, in which Graham looks thoroughly uncomfortable donking along on bass to Frank’s easy-listening brand of country. Instead, Graham tortures himself with anxiety about playing their first gig without ever having rehearsed. ![]() ![]() They almost come to blows right there, but their good-natured bandmates, including Frank, break it up. He takes some convincing even to get out of the door and into the band’s motorhome, and things only get worse when he realises that his annoying rocker neighbour Alan is also a member of the band. Said bass player, though, turns out to be a drunk, and Graham reluctantly admits that, yes, he can play the bass guitar…Ĭome the morning, a somewhat hungover former-symphony-violinist is horrified with the cold reality that he’s agreed to go on tour with a podunk country band, the eponymous (Frank Hay and the) Harmony Cats.

Graham meets an old friend, Reg, who’s there to vet a potential new bass player for his band. He’s passionate about his music, but when his symphony orchestra is forced to close, the bottom falls out of his world.īeing unemployed doesn’t noticeably improve Graham’s temperament - he picks an argument with the neighbourhood rocker, tries and fails to get a job as the pianist at a wine bar, and generally drives his long-suffering girlfriend Jane crazy. He plays Graham Braithwaite, possibly the most uptight, pedantic, and aggravating - if talented - classical violinist in the history of cinema. It has something in common with Frame Up Blues, in that Kim plays a musician - but the resemblance ends there, because while FUB’s Finch Palmer was a charismatic and likeable protagonist right from the start, Kim’s character in Harmony Cats…isn’t. So if you want to skip the recap and get straight to the fangirl highlights and tropes, jump down here.īy our reckoning, there are just four movies where Kim plays the lead: Frame Up Blues, Lethal Tender, King of Sorrow, and this.

Since Unreal Engine 4.27, you can use Movie Render Queue to render from multiple cameras as a batch process, without having to go through complicated Sequencer setups. Movie Render Queue is the feature that enables you to create high-quality, film-standard media directly from Unreal Engine without post-processing, thanks to the ability to render movies and stills with accumulated anti-aliasing and motion blur. “With Unreal Engine and the Movie Render Queue integrated into our pipeline, we had the ability to submit over a dozen on a daily basis,” says Tomlinson. Previously, one lighting artist or environment artist might have been able to submit two or three shots per day-if they were lucky. The engine includes a host of features and functionality that has been developed specifically with video production in mind. Unreal Engine is fast becoming a mainstay for VFX studios looking to deliver high-quality 3D content for film. “But having that in real time and being able to see it at a really decent quality still blows my mind.” “In rendered VFX, we're so used to seeing things take hours, sometimes days to render,” says Evans. The speed and efficiency afforded by game engine technology has flipped the script. When offline rendering was the only way to achieve final-pixel quality, the VFX industry had a notorious reputation for long hours spent waiting for shots to render. Traditionally, we would use Unreal for previs and postvis, but this is the first time where what you see in the final film is coming from Unreal Engine.” “What you see in the final image for the sequence is mostly all coming directly from Unreal,” says Coucke. Combined with real-time compositing, film-quality post-process effects, and advanced particles, physics, and destruction, creators now have everything they need to create final-pixel output for both live-action and animated content at their fingertips. ![]() Photorealistic real-time ray tracing is just one of a number of technological leaps forward that game engines have made in recent years. “Once you create your environment, it’s done-it just works.” “And all of this is just happening in real time,” says Marmier. Thanks to Unreal Engine’s real-time ray tracing capabilities, the team were able to produce incredibly realistic water visuals that satisfied even the high standards of the discerning key stakeholders on the movie. “From a pure technical rendering standpoint, it’s fairly difficult to do-especially with a game engine,” explains Quentin Marmier, Lead Technical Artist at Epic Games. It has specific physical and reflective properties, and the human eye is highly adept at spotting a fake. ![]() Water is notoriously difficult to simulate. “So we knew we would have to make sure that we are able to achieve the reflections exactly how we wanted-and to make sure we sell the water, because that was such an essential element of the environment.” “It was structured as three separate lakes with two bridges joining them together, surrounded by a forest of beautiful autumnal trees,” says Evans.Īs Roel Coucke, a CG supervisor who worked on the film points out, this concept immediately presented a test of the engine’s capabilities. Writer and Director Lana Wachowski worked with Epic to help develop the setting. “Lana wanted to have the dojo itself on a small lake that sits in a wooded environment,” he explains. His team was tasked with paying homage to the dojo scene from the original Matrix film-but this time, there was a twist. And with such detailed, clear graphics on Unreal Engine 5, The Matrix Awakens seems to be on the right track.Dan Glass is a senior VFX supervisor at Warner Bros. With this discovery of The Matrix Awakens' nod to the original movie, it appears the game is devoted to providing players an authentic Matrix experience. The Matrix and its sci-fi-action world lends itself well to the field of video games, seeing as the film series already has so many vital elements that create great gaming experiences. ![]() That said, those interested in playing the game will need either a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S console PC gamers or otherwise will have to wait, that is, if the game is set to arrive on other platforms at all. Given the game's source material and recently unveiled trailer, The Matrix Awakenswill likely feature key elements from the film series, such as - but not limited to - high-intensity action moments, car (or other vehicle) chases, various ruminations about "what is real," and more. Both Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise their roles in The Matrix Awakens, this time taking on the task of voice acting.

IPhone XS/XR and newer (A12 chip or newer, with Neural Engine) - 4 recording modes, using all Neural Engine-based solutions. ![]() This means that none of your videos leave the device and we can provide the same instant video capturing experience you’re used to with your default camera. ON-DEVICE PROCESSING - all this processing runs in real-time on the iPhone, making full use of the NeuralEngine's power. Gentle Light can be used in totally dark scenes with subjects that are close enough to be illuminated.ĬUSTOM BRIGHTENING - allows changing the brightness level to generate night videos with different look and feel. GENTLE LIGHT- each of the modes can be combined with the “gentle light” feature, where the app turns on the flashlight, but at one of the lowest levels in order to keep the resulting video still It’s especially useful when used with the ultra wide camera, in the case of which noise can appear even in medium-lit indoor situations. This mode contains no brightening, but because of the use of our AI denoising algorithm resulting videos have a cleaner, more pleasant look. Day - Is targeted at lower light day shots, or scenes with high dynamic range where the results of the default iPhone camera start to get too noisy. It is similar to Day mode, shot at a high frame rate to maintain sharp subjects in high movement situations, but it also includes a bit of additional brightening. Dusk - This mode is designed for semi-low light and indoor shots. This is the mode to use for most night scenes. It uses a slightly longer exposure time, that combined with our denoising and frame interpolation algorithms generates a bright, clean and smooth night video. Night - the default mode for shooting night videos. This mode doesn’t record sound and can handle even the lowest light situations, which combined with a faster playback, it generates a specific night mode time-lapse look. ![]() Make sure to hold still until the capturing circle is shown. Step 2: Open the app, point it to the scene you want to capture and press the shutter button. Step 1: Download NeuralCam (4.99) from the App Store on your iPhone. ![]() Time-lapse - a Night Time-lapse mode, for devices that don’t have one built in. How to Get Night Mode in iPhone SE’s Camera App. Using proprietary AI denoising, frame boosting and brightening technology NeuralCam NightVideo is the only dedicated video night mode camera app for iPhones.
