![]() In tandem passes, the lead driver (in the lead car, Senko) often feints their entry to the first corner to upset the chase driver (in the chase car, Atooi) however, in some European series, this practice is frowned upon by judges and considered foul play, resulting in deduction of points. The rest of the circuit is irrelevant, but it pertains to controlling the temperature of the tires and setting the car up for the first judged corner. Judging takes place on just a small part of the circuit, a few linking corners that provide good viewing, and opportunities for drifting. Drivers within these series are able to keep their cars sliding for extended periods of time, often linking several turns. Other events such as Drift Games Extreme (formally known as the IDC - Irish Drift Championship) in Ireland, Formula D in the United States, Drift Allstars, King of Europe, Drift Masters and the British Drift Championship in Europe, WDS in China, RDS in Russia, Formula Drift Asia in the Malaysia/Singapore/Thailand/Indonesia, NZ Drift Series in New Zealand, the Australian Drifting Grand Prix, Spec - D Drift Series in Western Canada and the Greek Drift Championship (Drift Wars) have come along to further expand it into a legitimate motorsport worldwide. At the top levels of competition, IDCR in Worldwide, the D1 Grand Prix in Japan pioneered the sport. Grassroots drifting has seen a huge increase in popularity in the 21st century, which has in turn caused prices of FR cars to increase and parts become more scarce.ĭrifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete (almost exclusively in rear-wheel-drive cars) to earn points from judges based on various factors. Drifting has since exploded into a form of motorsport in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe. Entrants included Rhys Millen and Bryan Norris. Daijiro Inada (founder of the Japanese D1 Grand Prix), the NHRA Funny Car drag racer Kenji Okazaki, and Keiichi Tsuchiya gave demonstrations in a Nissan 180SX that the magazine had brought over from Japan. One of the earliest recorded drift events outside Japan took place in 1996 at Willow Springs Raceway in Willow Springs, California, hosted by the Japanese drifting magazine and organization Option. He has also drifted through every turn in Tsukuba Circuit. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief editor Daijiro Inada, he helped to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting called the D1 Grand Prix. The video, known as Pluspy, became a hit and inspired many of the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1987, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. Keiichi Tsuchiya, known as the "Drift King" ( ドリフトキング, Dorifuto Kingu), became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift techniques. As professional racers in Japan drove this way, so did street racers. ![]() The bias-ply racing tires of the 1960s–1980s lent themselves to driving styles with a high slip angle. This earned him several championships and a legion of fans who enjoyed the spectacle of smoking tires. Famous motorcyclist turned driver Kunimitsu Takahashi was the foremost creator of drifting techniques in the 1970s. It was most popular in the All Japan Touring Car Championship races. ĭrifting originated in Japanese automobile racing. Drifting competitions are held worldwide and are judged according to the speed, angle, showmanship, and line taken through a corner or set of corners. This sense of drift is not to be confused with the four wheel drift, a classic cornering technique established in Grand Prix and sports car racing.Īs a motoring discipline, drifting competitions were first popularized in Japan in the 1970s and further popularized by the 1995 manga series Initial D. Drifting is traditionally done by clutch kicking (where the clutch is rapidly disengaged and re-engaged with the intention of upsetting the grip of the rear wheels), then intentionally oversteering and countersteering. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering). The technique causes the rear slip angle to exceed the front slip angle to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. Steve Moore drifting his Nissan Silvia (S14) around Lydden Hill at King of Europe Round 3 (2014)ĭrifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner. ![]() There, Arcimboldo was surrounded by scholars of different disciplines, including scientists, physicians, and astronomers he felt free to experiment in his art. Later, when the artist was 36, he became a court portraitist to the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II and moved to Vienna, Austria. ![]() Originally from Milan, he spent most of his early years working on designs for tapestries, stained glass windows, and frescoes for local churches. Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527 – 1593) was a 16th century Italian Renaissance artist best known for his assemblage portrait paintings. 1570s (Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Public domain) Today, these paintings are celebrated for their clever usage of different components to create silhouettes that look someone believable from afar and much more abstract from up close. This quirky approach was not only intended to be amusing but also to allude to deeper qualities of the sitter or to the person these works were presented to-which, in most cases, was the Hapsburgs emperor. This niche is best exemplified in the whimsical portrait paintings by Giuseppe Arcimboldo.Ī long-time court painter to the Holy Roman Empire, he created numerous portraits of nobles and other notable figures using an assemblage of fruits, vegetables, and objects. There was another side of the Renaissance that was fascinated with depictions of the bizarre. However, not all art from this period pursued these ideals. Famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created exquisite works of art that celebrated the human form. During the Italian Renaissance, painters and sculptors discovered a renewed interest in classical ideals and naturalism.

The full painting actually has a good bit of negative space that was never in the original photograph. ![]() It also gives the painter the creative freedom to expand the canvas, change the background, improve the subject, and a myriad of other possibilities. Learning to paint by hand, to control every part of the creative process creates a far superior product than a one-click filter ever possibly could. Now let's take a look at the same photograph, hand-painted utilizing clone painting techniques. It's a mechanical, computerized process that, to date, cannot render anything that could pass for hand-painted brushstrokes to the trained eye (and many times - even the untrained eye realizes that it's nothing more than a computerized knockoff). While some are more impressionistic than others, the end result is typically very similar. ![]() There are a variety of plugin "painting" options for Photoshop (Snap Art and Topaz Impressions to name a couple). (This is really NOT painting - it's a one-click filter - but many people claim that it is painting □♀️). This is what it looks like when you take this beautiful bouquet of flowers and use the Photoshop Oil Filter to "paint" it. This is the straight out of camera photograph (SOOC for short):Īs an aside, these beautiful flowers remind me of my Nanny's garden ❤️ Let's take a look at an example of a hand-painted image. Basically what that means is we use a photograph to skip the drawing stage of the creative process □ We utilize "clone painting" techniques in Photoshop. If you're asking yourself, "How can that be?" it's actually quite simple. You read that right! Every brushstroke is created by hand, but with Z.E.R.O. It does NOT mean that freehand drawing skills are required. While hand painting does mean that every single brushstroke is created by hand. "Hand painting" sounds much scarier than it actually is. I've been told many times that people feel like they have no other choice but to use a painting filter because they do not possess the skill to paint in Photoshop by hand.

But if you really like tinkering with your photographs to see how far you can push the artistic envelope, then you might want to take a look at Snap Art. ![]() So spending $149 for the additional filters in Snap Art seems like overkill. ![]() I seem to be able to create most of the effects I want using the filters that come with Photoshop. You really have a lot to play with here.įor me, the photographer (and not the fine art artist), Snap Art has more tools than I need. Then you can customize the setting of your choice with types of brushes, different paper stocks, saturation controls, and much more. For each effect, you start with a palette of factory settings to choose from. What's different about Snap Art isn't so much the various effects such as colored pencil and watercolor, it's the amount of control over the effect that goes above and beyond the filters that come bundled with Photoshop. Alien Skin has released a new plug-in called Snap Art. But for those who want more - such as oil paint, pencil sketch, pen & ink, comics, etc. Photoshop comes loaded with plenty of filter effects. One of the advantages of digitized photos is that you can easily manipulate them to look like various types of artwork, from watercolor to charcoal to pastel and beyond. ![]() Explore a rich and diverse world: Beautiful pre-rendered environments laced with an engaging story and characters bring the world to life. ![]()
Since relates to the full resource, it is possible to expect from the user agent (i.e. This means that if you load a URI such as, the resulting resource is a video of duration 40s. The important difference is that queries produce a new resource, while fragments provide a sub-resource. This is relevant in particular to live streaming applications, which would like to provide a URL under which a live video is provided, but also allow the user to jump back in time to previously streamed data.įurther, the W3C Media Fragment Working Group is discussing the use of both URI addressing schemes for time offsets: fragments (“#”) and queries (“?”). If a “smpte” scheme is given, the time code is provided in the way in which DVRs display time codes, namely according to the SMPTE timecode standard.įinally, a “clock” time scheme can be given. It is basically a time offset given in seconds, but can be provided in a few different formats. ![]() ![]() If there is no time scheme given, it defaults to “npt”, which stands for “normal playback time”. Having realised the need for such URLs, the W3C created a Media Fragments working group.įor temporal addressing, it currently proposes the following schemes: The Metavid video in contrast will not display a transport bar for the full video, but instead only present the requested part of the video with an appropriate localised keyframe. The YouTube video will be displayed as always, but the playback position in the video player changes based on the time offset. You may have noticed that the YouTube use of URIs for jumping to offsets is slightly different to the one used by Metavid. While most YouTube content is short form, and such direct access may not make much sense for a video of less than 2 min duration, some YouTube content is long enough to make this a very useful feature. More recently, YouTube rolled out a URI scheme to directly jump to an offset in a YouTube video, e.g. A URL such as work well to directly view that segment. This is now successfully in use at, where it is very useful since Metavid handles very long videos where direct access to subsections is critical. In 2001, in the Annodex project we proposed temporal URIs and implemented the spec for Ogg content. There are some existing example implementations that control a video’s playback time through a URL. Also, the BBC found in experiments with Firefox that “timeupdate” is more accurate than polling the “currentTime” regularly.Ĭontrolling a video’s playback through a URL Note that for subtitles it makes a lot more sense to use the existing “timeupdate” event of the video rather than creating a frequenty setInterval interrupt, since this will continue calling the function until clearInterval() is called or the window is closed. So, in the given example, every 100ms it is tested whether a new subtitle needs to be displayed for the video current playback time. The “setInterval” function is used to call a function or evaluate an expression at the specified intervall. Video.addEventListener("timeupdate", function(), 100) Var video = document.getElementsByTagName("video") įurther, if you want to stop playback at a certain time point, you can use another functionality of the HTML5 tag: the “timeupdate” event: To jump to a time offset in a video, all you have to do in javascript is: ![]() This is very useful to directly jump between different sections in the video, such as exemplified in the BBC’s recent R&D TV demo. ![]() Right now, you can use the video element’s “currentTime” property to read and set the current playback position of a video resource. I will explain the approaches that can be applied on the HTML5 tag for such deep video interaction.Ĭontrolling a video’s playback with javascript Such direct access can be achieved either by providing a javascript interface through which a video’s playback position can be controlled, or by using URLs that directly communicate with the Web server about controlling the playback position. We need direct access to time offsets and sections of videos. _ :_ You can leave out controls to avoid browser default controls, set a class to the video tag, and style the controls and functionality of the controls within the stylesheet.css and script.For many years now I have been progressing a deeper view of video on the Web than just as a binary blob. _ :_ Tip: for cross browser support, if you want auto play set, make sure to mute the video within the tag.

But only 33% reacted similarly to the image that sported color-reversed eyespots-a difference that suggests it's not the boldness of the image that's startling the birds, it's the mimicry of eye coloration in a predator the bird is likely familiar with. That's on par with the 57% showing the same reactions to the owl with open eyes, the team notes. About 68% of the birds shown the image with the eye-mimicking spots either flew away or showed signs of being startled such as chirping a warning call, the researchers report today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. When the bird swooped down upon its prey, the team flashed one of five images on a computer monitor lying directly beneath the worm: an owl (a tit predator) with open eyes, an owl with its eyes closed, a butterfly with prominent owl-like eyespots on its wings, a butterfly with eyespots whose colors had been reversed, or a butterfly whose eyespots had been digitally removed. Use a clean art brush dipped in red gel food color to draw squiggly lines to create the appearance of a bloodshot eyeball. ![]() Do they startle potential attackers simply because they're conspicuous, or do they mimic the eyes of a creature the songbirds truly fear?
