All the best, Eric S.Ĭopyright 2000 - 2016 Orach Chayim Torah Study & Resources / Headcoverings by Devorah. Do you have any plans to complete the remaining Chumash? Also, if you were able to add the pointed Hebrew text alongside the transliteration and translation, it might aid people who are trying to transition from transliteration to reading Hebrew. The transliterated biblical text, complete with translation and some commentaries is particularly wonderful. I just wanted to thank you for providing such amazing Judaic resources on your website. Shalom, I would just like to thank you for your website, the transliteration of the Torah is incredible!! I have been studying Hebrew for a short time and to have this to help me pronounce Hebrew correctly has been one of the greatest blessings I could receive.Kyle. May Baruch Hashem always guide you in your work in helping all of us to be nearer to him. I have been telling my fellow congregants of its great usefulness. Much Nachas for creating this wonderful site, it is I believe one of, if not the best I have ever seen.

Note this does not support 1D textures, volume textures, cubemaps, or texture arrays. This contains a Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 2D texture loader that uses WIC to load a bitmap (BMP, JPEG, PNG, HD Photo, or other WIC supported file container), resize if needed based on the current feature level (or by explicit parameter), format convert to a DXGI_FORMAT if required, and then create a 2D texture.The images are written as a DDS or as an image file format using WIC. This contains texture writing modules for Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, and Direct3D 12 primarily intended for creating screenshots.This is ideal for runtime usage, and supports the full complement of Direct3D texture resources (1D, 2D, volume maps, cubemaps, mipmap levels, texture arrays, BC formats, etc.). This performs no runtime pixel data conversions. There are versions for Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, and Direct3D 12. This contains a streamlined version of the legacy DirectX SDK sample DDSWithoutD3DX11 texture loading code for a simple light-weight runtime DDS loader.The "1" through "0" keys can also be used to jump to a specific image index.

The primary differences are the -10 and -11 arguments are not applicable and the filter names ( POINT, LINEAR, CUBIC, FANT or BOX, TRIANGLE, *_DITHER, *_DITHER_DIFFUSION). It supports the same arguments as the Texture Conversion Tool Extended ( texconvex.exe) legacy DirectX SDK utility. This DirectXTex sample is an implementation of the texconv command-line texture utility from the DirectX SDK utilizing DirectXTex rather than D3DX. Contains optional source files for the DirectXTex library, such as adapter loading functions using the OpenEXR library, Xbox texture tiling extensions, etc.Only DirectXTex.h and DirectXTex.inl are meant as the 'public' header for the library. The majority of the header files here are intended for internal implementation of the library only ( BC.h, BCDirectCompute.h, DDS.h, DirectXTexP.h, etc.). This is intended primarily for tool usage. This includes a full-featured DDS reader and writer including legacy format conversions, a TGA reader and writer, a HDR reader and writer, a WIC-based bitmap reader and writer (BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HD Photo), and various texture processing functions. For details, see Where is the DirectX SDK?. These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the legacy DirectX SDK.

Your talent-levelling priority should be Skill > Normal Attacks > Burst.įreminet’s Normal Attack talents are fairly standard. Genshin Freminet Talents and Attack Combos Can be lower depending on team composition and number of characters equipped with Favonius weapons. Energy Recharge: 150% if two Cryo units, 170% if one.He’s not impossible to use in Spiral Abyss, but it might be an uphill battle requiring characters with high investment. That said, it’s hard to recommend Freminet as your main DPS with Spiral Abyss, and he doesn’t have much support potential you’ll likely need to support him with powerful off-field DPS’s in elements he synergizes with in order to maximize his use. Instead, Shatter should be considered as free extra damage for his Physical DPS build. Shatter damage is calculated with the Elemental Mastery stat, but building for Elemental Mastery is not recommended. The new Claymore-wielder also benefits from the Shatter reaction, which deals physical damage when a frozen enemy is his with a blunt attack (like from a Claymore user). He will be taking about half of the team’s field time when you play him in this role. This guide will instead focus on Freminet as a physical damage dealer. Even further, Kaeya is given for free at the beginning of the game and is usually better at all of these Cryo-based team roles. He can be used as a Cryo battery to generate lots of energy for a stronger Cryo DPS, but this still requires lots of field time for Freminet, which may leave no room for a powerful Cryo DPS to exploit. This issue becomes more apparent the more the game creates enemies with elemental shields or enemies that require specific reactions to make the fight easier.įreminet could be used as a Cryo DPS, but the damage, even with Melt reactions, is unimpressive. However, Physical damage has been mostly neglected by current combat design, being considered the weakest of the elements. As a Cryo-element unit, his element makes one half of the Superconduct reaction, which reduces affected enemies’ Physical resistance by 40%. After 4.0, Freminet will be available on any banner, and will have recurring rate-ups on 5-star banners.įreminet is the first DPS since Eula to specialize in maximizing Physical damage. Freminet was made available on the 4.0 limited banners as one of the available 4-stars. If you renew your card online, you can download your temporary interim licence.

The only thing Bill ever asked of me was that I not reveal he had worked on Pearls until all three of his strips had run. Because I would have called that man once a week for the rest of his life.Īnd so we worked through the technological problems via email.Īnd unlike every other technological problem I’ve ever had, it was not frustrating. But then I remembered we were emailing.Īnd so I soon came to the sad realization that he probably just didn’t want me to have his phone number. But he didn’t want to.Īt first I thought it was because he didn’t own one. So I proposed working out our technological issues over the phone. In fact, by the end of the process, I was left with the distinct impression that he works in a log cabin lit by whale oil and hands his finished artwork to a man on a pony. Watterson – The first comic strip you’ve drawn in 20 years was ravaged by a squirrel.”)Īnd this is when I found out that Bill Watterson is not comfortable with scanners or Photoshop or large email attachments. (I could just imagine the email I’d have to write the next day: “Dear Mr. And partly because my UPS driver has a tendency to leave my packages in the dirt at the end of our driveway. Partly because I knew he wanted to auction it off for charity. Partly because I knew it would be worth thousands of dollars. I asked him to do this because I did not want to be responsible for handling his finished artwork. I wanted him to fill in the panels I left blank, and simply scan and email me back the finished strips. I drew my part first and then shipped him the strips. I found that out when it came to the logistics of the artwork. But I will offer you this one biographical tidbit: I don’t want to say any more about our exchange because to do so would probably be to compromise the privacy he so zealously guards. And that alone was probably the greatest compliment I’ve ever received. Like at one point when I wanted to change a line of dialogue he wrote, I prefaced it by saying, “I feel like a street urchin telling Michelangelo that David’s hands are too big.” But he liked the change. Throughout the process, Bill was funny and flexible and easy to work with. And that the whole thing would seem like a wisp of my imagination. And that Bill would disappear back into the ether. (The introduction of Libby can be found HERE and HERE).Īt every point in the process, I feared I would say something wrong. I named her “Libby,” which I then shorted to “Lib.” (Hint, hint: It’s almost “Bill” backwards.) The idea I proposed was that instead of having me get hit on the head, I would pretend that Pearls was being drawn by a precocious second grader who thought my art was crap. But it’s another thing to propose an idea to Bill Watterson. I was frightened.įrightened because it’s one thing to write a strip read by millions of people. What followed was a series of back-and-forth emails where we discussed what the strips would be about, and how we would do them. The cartoonist who last drew Calvin and Hobbes riding their sled into history would return to the comics page. Then he’d step in and draw my comic strip for a few days. And that he thought it would be funny to have me get hit on the head or something and suddenly be able to draw. He said he knew that in my strip, I frequently make fun of my own art skills. I will do whatever you want, including setting my hair on fire.” Now if you had asked me the odds of Bill Watterson ever saying that line to me, I’d say it had about the same likelihood as Jimi Hendrix telling me he had a new guitar riff. …He had a comic strip idea he wanted to run by me. And he had a great sense of humor about the strip I had done, and was very funny, and oh yeah…. Bill Watterson really exists? And he sends email? And he’s communicating with me?īut he was. Just getting an email from Bill Watterson is one of the most mind-blowing, surreal experiences I have ever had. So I emailed him the strip and thanked him for all his great work and the influence he’d had on me. I said I didn’t want to bother him.īut a week or so later, this Pearls strip ran in the newspaper:Īnd I figured this was as good of a time to write to him as any. Or more likely, wanted nothing to do with me.īut Nick encouraged me to send an email to Bill anyways. And Nick in turn wrote to Watterson.īill apparently had something to do. I also knew that he was working with Washington Post cartoonist Nick Galifianakis on a book about Cul de Sac cartoonist Richard Thompson’s art. I was traveling through Cleveland on a book tour, and I knew that he lived somewhere in the area. So it was with little hope of success that I set out to try and meet him last April. In fact, legend has it that when Steven Spielberg called to see if he wanted to make a movie, Bill wouldn’t even take the call. įew in the cartooning world have ever spoken to him. And like Bigfoot, there is really only one photo of him in existence. Bill Watterson is the Bigfoot of cartooning. |
