![]() She comes to a realization, that she chooses not to share with Chell, and they head towards the newer Aperture facility. Chell ultimately agrees and attaches GLaDOS to her Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device and they continue to try to find a path towards the upper facility.Īs Chell continues to run through tests from the 1970's, and 1980's, GLaDOS becomes curious about Caroline and Cave who she keeps hearing in the recorded guidance in test chambers. GLaDOS, insistent that she can't lie with only 1.1 volts of power, implores Chell to take her with her to put her back in her body and stop Wheatley from destroying the facility. Chell reunites with GLaDOS in the nest of the bird that took her. At this time we learn of Cave Johnson's secretary/assistant, Caroline, of whom Cave is rather fond. She enters a series of tests, often having to navigate between them in unconventional ways due to the deterioration of the lower facility. Before Chell can decide whether or not to help, GLaDOS is swooped away by a bird and Chell heads off to attempt to find a way back into the primary facility.Ĭhell uncovers the remnants of a 1950's Aperture Science guided by the voice of the now deceased Aperture Science founder Cave Johnson. She informs Chell that Wheatley's lack of stability is going to cause the destruction of Aperture Science killing everyone and everything inside the facility. GLaDOS (in potato form), has now informed Chell that Wheatley was designed to make extremely poor decisions, in order to turn GLaDOS into somewhat of a moron in an effort to control and dampen her homicidal tendencies. He knocks them down an elevator shaft where they fall to the remnants of the previous incarnation of the Aperture facility. Wheatley, corrupt with the power from the entire facility of Aperture, quickly turns on Chell, and shoves GLaDOS into a potato battery as revenge. Chell works her way to the button, finally hitting it, which then swaps out the cores of GLaDOS and Wheatley. ![]() After achieving their goals and enter GLaDOS' now rebuilt chamber, the computer system detects an alternate core and begins the process of a core transfer, which GLaDOS promptly refuses, prompting the Stalemate Button to be activated. He reunites with Chell and they escape through the bowels of the building. Meanwhile, Wheatley attempts to find a way to get out from under GLaDOS and continue their attempt to escape facility, with Chell's help, he intends to disable her turret production line, disable her Deadly Neurotoxin and then shut her down once again to facilitate their escape. Chell and GLaDOS quickly reunite, culminating with GLaDOS using a robotic arm to drop Chell into the incinerator, and guiding her back towards a new series of tests that GLaDOS intends to force Chell to run continuously until she dies. They rise up through the floor just in time to witness GLaDOS pulling herself back together and taking over the facility again. They must cross through the chamber of GLaDOS who lies broken and dismembered on the floor of her chamber, they enter the breaker room looking for a way out, and instead accidentally reactivate GLaDOS. After separating from Wheatley and completing a series of tests revisited from Portal, Chell reunites with Wheatley and head to what they believe will be escape. With a desire to flee the crumbling facility, Wheatley and Chell begin their quest to escape Aperture Science to return to the real world. Portal 2 takes place an indeterminate amount of time, somewhere between 50 and 50,000 years, after the events of Portal, which saw Chell destroying the sentient computer GLaDOS, and landing outside the facility, only to be dragged back inside of Aperture Science where she was ultimately placed in a Relaxation Chamber by Doug Rattmann for the indefinite future.Īfter considerable time has passed, Wheatley, a personality core, that has helped to maintain Aperture Science during the absence of GLaDOS arrives at the room of the awakening Chell. On February 9, 2022, the Portal: Companion Collection was announced for a release on Nintendo Switch later in 2022, which will include Portal 2 in the bundle. Retail release in North America started on Apand later, Europe and Australia on April 21, 2011. Portal 2 was released Apon the Steam platform. It features a single-player story set after the events of Portal's story and a brand-new Co-op game mode, featuring additional test chambers designed specifically for Co-operative play.

This function can be extremely useful if you have a large picture and want to make it look like the background has been removed, or if you simply want to remove a bunch of unnecessary or unwanted clutter from your photo. The PhotoPad editor also lets you apply effects to your picture, such as making your background fade out or make the foreground objects lighter. This includes everything from adjusting color, contrast, brightness, and saturation. The main feature of PhotoPad is the toolbar that allows users to perform hundreds of different editing functions. ![]() There are many things you can do with PhotoPad that will make your pictures look great, and you will be able to use the program no matter which type of camera oriented software you use. The program was updated many times over the years until it became the staple in many professional and personal photo editing software packages around the world. In fact, PhotoPad XP was the first PhotoPad ever released, back in the early days of the personal digital camera revolution. The software is available in both Windows and Mac compatible versions. PhotoPad is an award winning photo editing software. ![]() Logic StructureĪ high level block diagram that describes the logical structure of the project is shown below.Įssentially, the logical flow of the program is as follows. The creators of this project also believed that this would be a fun and challenging project, and decided to undertake it. The source for this project idea was Bruce Land, who thought that it would be a good idea to make a project that allowed users to specify arbitrary filter transfer functions that could be used for digital signal processing. Full System, showing PIC32, touchscreen, and interfaces at start up Pictured blow is a figure of the entire system, with input from a signal generator and output to an oscilloscope off-screen.įigure 1. In this way, a user can design their filter and see it implemented in real time. With discrete time finite impulse response (FIR) filter coefficients a real time convolution is taken with an analog to digital converter sampled input signal and then output to a 12-bit digital to analog converter. These bands are used as the argument to either a Parks- McClellan or Fourier Transform algorithm which creates the discrete time impulse response coefficients corresponding to the drawn frequency response. For a video of our lab demo please see Project DemoĪ user is given the ability to draw a transfer function on a touchscreen interfaced with the PIC, a custom interpolation and interpretation algorithm is used to understand the essential pass and stop bands of the users transfer function. The project gets its premise out of the frequent requirement for arbitrary digital signal filters in a laboratory setting. This laboratory aims to implement a custom filter designer on the PIC32 microcontroller for the purpose of real time signal transformation. “DESIGN OF NONRECURSIVE (FIR FILTERS)” at /SupMaterials/Slides/DSP-Ch09-S3,4.pdf."A real time signal transformation based on a user constructed FIR filter" Chamira Edussooriya in 2016 at the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, University of Moratuwa References You can find the complete code for the filter design at Īcknowledgment: This content was originally submitted as partial fulfillment for the module EN2570: Digital Signal Processing taught by Dr. Stopband ripples distort the signals that need attenuation.Non-zero magnitude response in the stopband for the designed filter.Passband ripples cause undesirable modifications to the required part of the spectrum.There is a slight difference between ideally expected output and the obtained one due to the following reasons. It is evident from the results shown in figure 5 that the filter blocks the undesired signals and passed the signals within the passband. The filter designed for the purpose of this assignment truly acts as a bandpass filter of the stipulated parameters. Image 3 shows the actual filtered output which closely resembles the expected output. The second image shows the frequency spectrum of the expected output where only the signal within the passband gets passed to the output. In figure 5 the first image shows the frequency spectrum of the input signal which is a combination of 3 sinusoids. Figure 3 shows the ripples in the passband even though they are invisible in figure 1. In figure 1 it can be seen that the frequency spectrum of the filter resembles a bandpass filter. ![]() That tells you everything you need to know about what her priorities would be as Vice President.- Charlie Kirk September 15, 2020īodycam footage shows Munoz charging out the door of a home, knife in hand, and chasing the police officer who is forced to draw his firearm and shoot the suspect.īLM riots in Lancaster, PA over shooting of felon who tried to stab a police officer - I have his court records.

To do this, use the buttons in the top right corner of the program interface. You can also burn the video to DVD or transfer it to your smartphone. Once you're happy with the tilt shift effect, go to "File" > "Export movie" and select an export format in the sub-menu (e.g.Open the "Speed" effect dialog and move the slider to the right. You could also apply a simple time lapse effect. You can enhance contrast using "HDR Gamma" in the effect dialog "Brightness/Contrast". Open the effect dialog "Color" and increase saturation for the image. You can use other effects to enhance the effect further and really create an impression of a miniature model landscape.Load several masks in this way and compare the results to find the right one for your project. You can try out different masks, and just press Ctrl + Z each time to undo your action. ![]() The best masks for simulating the tilt shift effect are masks that are dark in the middle – this means the subject in the center of the image stays sharp. The idea is that the dark areas of the mask block out the blur effect. The sub-folder that opens contains a range of effects masks that you can use for the tilt shift effect. Above right, click on the button with the arrow to open the effect menu.Drag the slider for "Artistic blur" to the right.In the Media Pool, click on "Effects" and then open the "Sharpness" effect dialog.Open Movie Studio Platinum and drag & drop a video from the Media Pool to import it.Since the CSS3 properties used in this jQuery Plugin are not supported in major browsers so far, therefore you can see this Tilt Shift Photo effect only on Google Chrome or Safari 6.To use tilt shift to turn a video into a toytown world, follow these steps: -direction (“x”, “y”, or 0-360), the direction of the effect with zero at right.The lower the value, the “tighter” the fade. -falloff (0-100), the amount of area between complete focus and complete blur.10 would mean one tenth of the image is sharp. -focus (0-100), the amount of area that is in focus.-blur (0-?), blur radius in pixels, use either 1 or 2.-position (0-100), defines the point of focus. ![]() One more thing, you need to mention all the 5 different parameters to the photos you want to show up Tilt Shift Effect. You can know more about these parameters below. ![]() These parameters helps the plugin to fetch your requirements and display up desired Tilt Shift Layer on the Photo. Use the below jQuery function to Call the script anywhere where your photos which are going to be made Tilt Shift exist, most probably on the page where you are going to transform images for Tilt Shift effect.Īnd now you need to set the parameters of the plugin in order to get the best and required results. You can download the jQuery plugin from Github. Before that, this is how your photos will look like after implementing the script on your photos.įirst of all, you need to download the jQuery file tiltshift.js, which is the core of everything what we are going to do. It adds Tilt Shift layer on the desired portion of your photo using CSS3. This plugin will help you deliver most attractive images on your blogs. Using CSS3 behind giving photos a Tilt Shift looks is actually a nice idea, and most of us should haven’t even thought of it, atleast me. I already tried this script and it works finely, infact it creates Tilt Shift Photos seeing which you will definitely say a WOW! Who don’t love cool photos, and it can also be helpful for bloggers who showcase compilations of wallpapers, photographs etc. The Plugin is named tiltshift.js by the developer, and for those who are currently running photography blogs or even personal blogs, this simple yet effective jQuery Plugin is worth trying out. You must have heard of Tilt Shift Photography, and now we can add tilt shift effects to the photos using jQuery Plugin created by which uses CSS3 too. ![]() The following achievements might be done earlier on, but if you don’t have them after getting the achievement to proceed to new game+ (and possibly get the äll items” achievement in this new game+) I would suggest just go back to ascension one and get them there while being really overpowered. For a few achievements, it is very nice to do them while resetting back to ascension one because you keep your trinkets, skills, and armor/weapons. Then I killed both characters so it would be for sure count as collecting it and I didn’t have to play through the whole quest with 2 characters by myself.Īfter you proceed to go to ascension 2 after finishing the game, you can always go back to ascension 1, but it will reset the map. I quit that game, started again, and then go back as if I played co-op and kept quitting and going back until I found it. I did that one when I was in a dungeon where the skeleton was next to me on the start of the second floor. The third one was a lot harder and doesn’t unlock that way because it only unlocks when you have 2 or more floors left in the current quests. I got 2 of those while just faking I played with 2 in the challenges with endless encounters. There are also 3 perks that only unlock when playing co-operative. There is a perk that only unlocks in the 4th area with the healers, you have to deflect the healer’s spell (I think a few times) and then you can find the perk that lets you change those deflects into fireballs. I would suggest that when you see a new perk (at the top it will tell you that it is a new one) always choose that, even if it will ruin your run, some are just so hard to come by. This is one of the harder achievements because a part of it is based on luck. This can be done after finishing the main quest by going to the upstairs area. The quests in area 4 seem to give the most money. This achievement might take some time but is nothing to worry about while playing the game. I mostly got this achievement with mice and scorpions running in circles around such a poison block till they are killed. ![]() Have 100 enemies killed by environment hazards.įor this achievement, the explosive barrels don’t count, but you can run around blocks with poison o other danger and hope the enemies get killed. I got this one easily while finding a map where a lot of perks are and it also helps to have equipment that lets you start a quest with a perk. I mostly used a sword because that was my favorite weapon type. There are weapons that deflect magic attacks, or some armor that reflects it with a dash. Kill 50 enemies with deflected projectiles. I have used the one which gives 2 levels in anything the most because it looks so powerful.
