"I want to be able to break the speech bubble into two parts". Most of these points we believe can be done already in Comic Draw. This is honestly the only critique I have from using this amazing app and I hope these features can be added. Since there are only limited speech bubble designs, I usually draw the speech bubbles myself, but even the option to just add text (without a speech bubble) is also very limited and stays in italics (compared to adding text inside a bubble). With being able to edit the bubbles, it can add so much: wavy speech bubbles for weak or fading speeches or black speech bubbles for negative emotions, etc. Also, when the character is yelling, I wish that there wasn’t just a spiky variety for the bubble but one where I can make the spikes more curvy. I want to be able to break the speech bubble into two parts (while they’re still merged), or be able to make the tail go inwards for off panel speeches. It’s one of the easiest and many ways to reinforce the message or mood of what the character is saying/thinking. One of my favorite apps that I use all the time, but I wish there was an option to edit the speech bubbles more. Really great and powerful app but one critique.

Each Club member receives Club Coins at the end based on the performance of the club and the member, which can be used in the Club Shop. Club Ranks are the same as Power League ranks, where progression starts at Bronze I. When the league ends on Monday, the Clubs are ranked based on the club's Points to determine if the club is promoted or demoted and the number of rewards. After each competing day, the Clubs are ranked based on the club's Trophies to earn Club Points. Players who play with other Club members are rewarded by earning more Club Trophies for the club. Clubs compete to gain the most Club Trophies possible by players playing in selected matches. 4 tickets are given on Wednesday and Friday, with 6 tickets given on Sunday.

I am sorry to tell you, but the problem is your model, not 3DCoat. Given the tantalizing advertisement on 3D Coat's home page, it all looks very appetizing!! This normal map issue must be addressed ASAP, and put at the very top of the list, while people are still jumping ship from the Adobe acquisition of Allegorithmic. It is extremely important, for 3D Coat as well (and everyone who tries the software in the future). I hope that happens in the future but in order for that to work, the normal map continuity between software must be addressed. I've been keeping an eye on 3D Coat as a viable replacement for PBR painting. That is an obvious sign that things are broken. I shouldn't have to change the vertices and UV's of a model to make it work in 3D Coat. The main reason is that those normal maps look great in Substance Painter, Designer, Unity, Unreal, Sketchfab, Marmoset, and Blender. I should not have to add edge loops or unwrap differently. I hope you find the solutions you need.Īs for the rectangle boxes, I should not have to do anything to make those work. I did not fix the rectangle boxes as a normal map was already created for them. Also mentioned that how I work might not be what you needed. I gave my solution for the rectangle boxes. If "lock normals" did in fact make a difference, then it should've been checked by default since this workflow is common.Īs stated I already mentioned the rectangle boxes and their problems. If the most obvious path isn't default then there's a problem with the software. ![]() It should work as intended and not rely on any sort of hacky fixes or workarounds that would snag newer users and force a google search. And even if I did find some sort of workaround, software shouldn't work that way. I spent nearly a whole day trying to figure this out. The lack of continuity here cannot be fixed by any option from any menu from my thorough (thorough.) examination. When I import normal maps into 3D Coat, they look a little off, even though they look fine in other software. When I bake normal maps in 3D Coat, they look a little off in other software, even though they look fine in 3D Coat. However, the exported normal map will seem a little off in other software. Now, if you bake in 3D Coat, your objects will look perfect. Here is your screenshot with an indicator: Things in your screenshot may seem correct, but take a look over here. The fact is, 3D Coat's viewport renderer simply does not see normals correctly. In fact, I've tried everything in every single menu that relates to importing or normals. The above are suggestions only which made or made not work for your workflow. I generally do not have problems between 3DC, SP, Blender and Unity though I tend to add edges loops so the normal map does not have to try and completely fake the edge plus to help shading issues. That could be solved by unwrapping them a little different or adding edge loops to soften the 90 degree normals of the edges. ![]() The only trouble I had were the rectangle boxes. This is important when using an imported normal map. Without locking your normals 3DC will recompute them. I tested both Unity and Blender import settings. Lock your normals in the import dialog box. ![]() I'm also happy to share the model and normal map for anyone to verify my findings here. Also, imported OpenGl maps using those presets show up wrong, and it will anger a lot of new users coming from other software. There should only be an OpenGL and a DirectX setting for normal maps. There should not be a Unity normal map preset vs a Blender normal map preset. Now everything shows up great! This is a screenshot from 3D Coat: I didn't do anything at all, I just made a new one. SO, I created my own normal map preset and called it OpenGL. The software preset Blender and Unity yield different results, even though they should both be exactly the same (an OpenGL normal map with an inverted green channel). So I tried re-importing the normal map and even creating a new project and changing the UV smoothing settings. The dark halos around the triangles are horrible in 3D Coat. I double-checked and toggled the green channel to be sure. The normal map doesn't show up correctly. I imported the normal map with the correct settings. I decided that there were a lot of cereal boxes, logos and things I would need to paint in an external image editor, and I liked Coat's linking option (for Affinity). Here are screenshots from Substance Painter: In Substance, the OpenGL maps bake perfectly. It's an atlas of small items for detailing an environment (bottles, books, cans) I baked some mesh maps in Substance Painter for an old project. ![]() These bad practices are all too common in organizations, and managers and executives can be blind to their pernicious effects.

But what types of bees burrow in the ground? What Kinds of Bees Live in the Ground? (Ground-Nesting Bee Identification Chart and How To Identify Ground-Nesting Bees) When the source of the bee colony is revealed to be hidden under the very ground in your backyard, that fear sometimes quickly turns to panic. Ground-nesting bees identification knowledge is helpful to allay the fear that is normally the first reaction when a bee colony is discovered in the backyard, despite their contribution to society. Yet our knowledge of bees is somewhat limited. Without bees, global gas emissions would be causing even more of a climate crisis. Without bees, that food chain would be in danger. These plants are vital to combat the vast amount of carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere every year, as well as being crucial in ensuring that there is enough food available to feed the world. ![]() 1 Millions of plants rely on their pollination skills to transport pollen far and wide to aid in fertilization, which in turn leads to reproduction and more plants. If it ever reached the stage where the population of bees became devastated, it would severely harm the planet. There are species that, unfortunately, have become extinct due to the factors of climate change, deforestation, and the destruction of their natural habitats. 7 Bee Families To Know (Ground-Nesting Bees Identification Chart: Kinds of Bees Live in the Ground)Īround the globe, ground-nesting bees identification comes down to the 7 types of bee families listed below. This method encourages resistance to diseases, and over time 7 families have evolved to become the dominant strains. That means that with a human population of 8 billion, the number of bees in the world is easily over 2 trillion, and growing.Įven though there is just one queen bee per hive, she has the reproductive capability of laying, just in that one hive, about 200,000 bees a year.īecause bees are classed as monophyletic, meaning all of the different species have one common ancestor, she mates with several different genetic males to add diversity to the colony as has been the system throughout the centuries.
