![]() I opted for the version-independent plug-in folder, in my case, using Windows, at:Ĭ:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\ CC\Īfter the installation, both Silver Efex Pro 2 and Silver Efex Pro 3 are available as filters in Photoshop. Check out this link for finding the correct plugin directory. Since the Photoshop Smart Filters are my only use case for the older version, I did not try to install it in Lightroom. The installation process of this version does not recognize the newest versions of Adobe Photoshop, but it is possible to specify the plug-in folder manually and then the plugin installs properly. The version 1.2.11 can still be found in the Wayback Archive, with these direct download links: Windows, Mac. However, I was able to find a solution on my own: while the DXO versions of the NIK collection cannot coexist, it is possible to install the older Google NIK Collection and it seems to work fine in parallel with the new version from DXO. According to DXO, only one version of the NIK Collection can be installed at the same time, and a migration of the Smart Filters from Silver Efex Pro 2 to Silver Efex Pro 3 is not possible. I asked DXO for a solution, but they were not able to provide any. This was a significant roadblock for me, since I am just now working on some projects for which I need to re-edit older images for printing. ![]() ![]() Installing the current DXO NIK Collection 4 forcefully removes all older versions and the included new Silver Efex Pro 3 is not able to open Smart Filters created with Silver Efex Pro 2. So editing older files with such Smart Filters is simply not possible anymore. ![]() Especially Silver Efex is for me the best and most intuitive tool out there for black and white conversions.īeing able to come back to images later and change my editing has always been import to me, so I use non-destructive workflows wherever possible. Before DXO took over and introduced non-destructive editing, the only way to achieve this with the NIK Collection was to apply them as Smart Filters in Photoshop, a technique I used extensively in the past. Editing Silver Efex 2 Smart Filters after installing Silver Efex 3Īs you may know from reading my previous posts, I am a big fan of the NIK Collection, first released by NIK Software, then for some time taken over by Google and now being owned and further developed by DXO. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() In contrast to this, the menus and fonts in Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster look great, and every section of each game's world has been masterfully recreated in a widescreen format that better fits modern monitors. Fans and critics alike scrutinized the game for its ugly UI and poorly transferred map tiles - specifically on the overworld map - that looked worse on high-end PCs than the original did in standard definition on the SNES. To compare this newest release to a previous attempt to reintroduce an older Square Enix IP, it might be best to see how it matches up to the Chrono Trigger PC port. It would be easier to compare these to retro-throwback titles made by indie developers than their original form, as they have been brought so effectively into the modern era of gaming. ![]() Looking at these three earliest titles on their own, each one is a competent remaster that brings three games that originated on the NES to a widescreen setting, with a sleek new UI. While Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is still an excellent way to add the classic titles to modern, digital libraries, it falls short in capturing the allure of previous releases of each title.Īt the time of this writing, only the first three titles in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster have been released, with the last three expected to release later in 2021. This most recent remaster is a bit of a mixed bag, with the pixelated sprites and tiles looking fantastic, but each game losing a bit of individuality for the sake of making a cohesive collection. So, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is the latest in a long line of Square Enix re-releasing the classic series for modern systems, even if this newest one is specifically built for PC and Mobile devices. The original Final Fantasy first launched over 30 years ago, and it along with many of the other classic titles have since been ported, remastered, and re-released dozens of times. ![]() ![]() ![]() Are you ready for the robot crash battlebots with remote control. 2.2K Share Save 176K views 6 years ago Something we were surprised to encounter at this season's filming of BattleBots were RC toy versions of fan-favorite robots. ![]()
![]() After we advised them of the survey and explained our goals, we gave interested attendees survey forms to complete. The National Public Safety Information Bureau annually publishes the “National Directory of Law Enforcement Administrators,” which provides a complete listing of local, county, state and federal agencies from around the United States.Īgencies outside our initial contact schedule were made aware of the survey process through presentations by ASA personnel at tactical conferences, sniper schools, seminars and competitions nationwide. To call and/or write to each SWAT team, we also needed some general information about each agency. The Justice Department’s annual report “Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics, Data of Individual State and Local Agencies” provided an alphabetized listing of 897 agencies to contact. The first thing we needed was a current listing of agencies around the country that maintained SWAT teams.

Hendriks has other changes in mind, such as new playable factions with unique structures and Dune lore-related elements, but those are still far off. As he only works on it in the evenings after his day job (and mostly by himself), Hendriks estimates that he will need another few years to complete the game.īut the core gameplay is functioning, and players can already jump in and blow up some quads and ornithopters. Cutscenes haven’t been integrated either. ![]() ![]() The game is far from complete now, as it still lacks an options menu and the ability to save your progress. Hendriks received help from fellow fans in the Dune2k forums who polished the graphics for him. Hendriks said that the early iterations of Dune II – The Maker made use of graphics extracted from the original game, but they were too tiny in high-res. The graphics are updated, though it still looks undeniably like Dune II. Hendrik’s improved AI gathers units into groups and then sends them in attack waves, which is more like Command & Conquer than Dune II. “Rather, I try to think how I would implement an RTS AI that would make a game like Dune II fun to play.”įans of the game will remember that after a while, the original AI would send units to attack the player’s base one at a time – which made them pretty easy to repel once you had enough rocket turrets. “I don’t aim to recreate a Dune II AI,” he said. Dune II – The Maker is different because it is made from scratch with an original engine and modern improvements such as unit grouping, map zooming, and improved enemy AI. If you look on the Google Play Store, you will find other Dune II games but these are direct ports of the original game, optimized for mobile. ![]() Soon after, he started from scratch to begin what would become a 20-year open-source project called Dune II – The Maker. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6 th Generation Intel® Core processors, Intel Core™ M, and related Pentium® processors, with Intel® Iris® Graphics 540, Intel® Iris® Graphics 550, Intel® Iris® Pro Graphics 580, and Intel® HD Graphics 510, 515, 520, 530. ![]()
