Split screen mac el capitan4/29/2023 ![]() But it’s difficult to strike that detached tone of objectivity when faced with a system that’s so damned good. If this reads like some Apple promo, apologies. Need to get some serious work done? The upgrades to the built-in Mail and Calendar apps will save you time. Want to work quickly with multiple apps? The improvements to Mission Control, including the split-screen feature originally pioneered by Windows 8, make this easier than ever. Want to find a file or a fact? Spotlight can now do both, and at an awesome speed. El Capitan not only carries on that tradition, but improves on Yosemite with a host of refinements. If you were willing to overlook its hiccoughs, Yosemite was delightfully easy to use and more powerful than any normal user would ever need. Or at least, not without going down the touch road (at which point, OS X logically hands over to iOS). Given Microsoft’s heritage and current self-set brief, this could be intentional.Įl Capitan brings very few new tricks to the OS X desktop, and there’s a reason for that – there aren’t that many new tricks out there. Windows 10 may be a major jump in the right direction for Microsoft interfaces, but alongside El Capitan, it looks ever-so-slightly bland and overly corporate. It’s so good that you should immediately splash £1,200 on a Retina Macbook Pro, just so you can admire Capitan in all of its pixel-polished, perfectly kerned glory.Īnd if you think we’re being facetious, you’re wrong. The end result the prettiest desktop OS in the world, ever. This new font has Lucida Grande readability at all sizes, whilst looking more modern than Lucida and Neue. Helvetica Neue’s gone, replaced by the font that made its debut with the Apple Watch – San Francisco. If you’re one of the many who found Yosemite jarring, you’ll instantly fall in love El Capitan. Which could have been great, but for the fact that Neue bluntly refused to look good at certain sizes (the harsher critics out there would say all sizes). Apple bravely ended its long-standing affair with the Lucida Grande in favour of Helvetica Neue. In particular, there was something subtly wrong about Yosemite’s choice of system font. You could see what what the Apple team was trying to achieve – a light, clean, fresh environment where the content came first, not the heavy application furniture surrounding it.īut somehow, the new desktop didn’t gel. It introduced a whole new world of colours, transparencies and transitions to the Mac desktop, in line with Jonny Ive’s mission to modernise the Mac and iOS interfaces.Īnd the design change worked. Yosemite was one hell of a leap for Apple back in October of 2014. ![]() If you really want to nerd out, here’s Apple’s guide to Metal (and note that if you own a Mac from before 2012, you’re out of luck). Some of that will be down to a clean install, no doubt – but the leap is such that I’m convinced that El Capitan is playing a major role. But boot it into 10.11, and it’s perfectly useable. It huffed and puffed under Yosemite’s reign, with regular freezes and beach balls (to the point where I thought that the well-worn spinning hard drive was dying). The result? A battered old laptop is reborn. I’ve used its release as an excuse to wipe my household’s used-and-abused 2012 Macbook Pro 13in, clean installing the final GM release of 10.11. It reduces the CPU load by up to 50%, giving graphics-intensive apps more room to do their thing.Īnd even if you own older Mac hardware, El Capitan could be good news. If you’re interested, this performance transformation is down to the inclusion in El Capitan of Metal, Apple’s graphics technology that first launched with iOS 8 in 2014. You could stare at the screen, watching for the slightest drop in frame rate as you flick applications around, but you’d be wasting your time. It’s stupidly responsive on my 2015 Macbook Pro Retina 13in, even with the display set to the highest resolution (2560×1600). ![]() The fact that the irritating stutters were cured by clicking a single (rather hidden) box confirmed everyone’s suspicions: Yosemite simply wasn’t optimised for the fairly intensive gymnastics it was being asked to perform.Įl Capitan, you’ll be delighted to hear, is fast. Specifically, you had to go into Accessibility in System Preferences and disable Transparency, the effect introduced with 10.10 Yosemite, and the cause of the slowdowns. You could make Yosemite faster, but it required a hack. Click on, say, the Safari icon to maximise a window, and it would react with the kind of stiff reluctance that would be painfully familiar to Samsung TouchWiz users (before the arrival of the Galaxy S6, of course). Yosemite seemed to struggle with animations. ![]() Copy and paste in place in cheetah3d4/29/2023 ![]() ![]() If I haven't made things clearer in the above, please disregard and i'll wait till i can ask a better question. I'll take a deeper look at the example you sent and see if I can get where i need to go. I did find another post where you mention importing as pdf (this worked better for me and I was able to extrude) but when importing as a pdf it treats the entire network as one object which is problematic as i need to be able to color nodes and edges as part of the animation. one of the visualizations involves introducing an impulse on a node and watching the waveform propagate through the network. I would like the lines to act as springs for animation purposes (e.g. The SVG is a social network graph and I need to be able to import several of these and turn them into 3D objects (although really they'll be 2d planes extruded and overlaid onto of some 3D environment scenery. Your example helps, but I was hoping for a scriptable solution (programmer/designer by trade). I then do a search for ID417589872 and only finds the one entry (the one above).Thanks for the quick turn around. Things go fine through the DAE export but when I do the search inside the DAE file for the find/replace, it is not matching the pattern. I haven't played with the weights but I'm not looking for perfection here, just to see how hard it would be to do. ![]() The mesh is bound to the armature, the transform has been burned. So I made what I called "Deathbot" rather quickly. I decided to do a couple tests by making some simple fullbody rigged mesh as well as adjust the joint positions. Still says attached to right hand (I tried "forcing" it to go on Avatar Centre but the result was the same). Export that as DAE, did a find/replace to edit the joints and then saved it for import onto Aditi. I put the skeleton tag on the boot, dropped in mPelvis joint as root then bound the mesh to the armature. I then burned the boot mesh using the burn transform tool from the Coord options. I then imported and transformed my boot mesh into place on the left leg of the armature. ![]() What I did was take the simplebot.jas file, removed the robot-like mesh. I'll have to look up on exactly how to use those tools as well. When I use the transform tool to rotate and place my mesh, the mesh maintains the old coordinate system and the transformations are made to appear on screen but when I export the mesh, the mesh maintains the original cooridinate system? Therefore burn transform gets rid of this phantom rotation matrix by multiplying the matrix through? ![]() My imported mesh will preserve it's coordinate system from the original JAS file but I need to have that object rotated. I guess that each new object uses the "world" coordinate system which could mean that's why my second attempt at the boot didn't work either because the transform tool doesn't change the internal coordinate system for my object. At least this time *something* gets imported into Second Life, albeit something out of a Cronenberg film. I thought the whole point of the provided JAS file was that it automatically did that rotation? What's the difference then from straight importing the joints and using the default positioning? Because that's what I used on my first boot mesh but it won't import either. When I import onto Aditi, the mesh is distored in the preview and utterly crazy when equipped (still saying attached to Right Hand). Before I export I delete the "simplebot" as well as the skin so all that's left in the file is the camera, the boot and the armature. I added in the OBJ meshes from SL, rigged them too. So, I've decided to recreate a boot mesh from scratch using the simplebot.jas from the Cheetah3D forum right from the start. When you import a mesh, does the imported mesh now use the coordinate system of the scene or is there some original coordinate system preserved and an intermediate rotation/scale matrix used to bridge the mesh with the new scene? It says it's attachd to the right hand, but on the side of my face like a Bluetooth headset and scaled into what looks like a snorkel of sorts. It will upload into Aditi, but it's COMPLETELY wrong. Right now, on my boot, I have a skeleton tag, dragged over mPelvis from the joints hierarchy and bound it. In the skeleton tag, the "base", or 0 item should be mPelvis (as I currently have it), or should it be avatar? The find/replace doesn't have avatar listed but. ![]() Fire hd 10 google play 20184/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Model, OSįire HD 10 (9th, 11th Gen) Fire 7 (8th, 9th Gen) Fire HD 8 (8th, 10th Gen)įire HD 10 (7th Gen and older) Fire HD 8 (7th Gen and older) Fire 7 (7th Gen and older) Fire HD 6 Fire HDX 8.9 Follow the same process for the subsequent two downloads as well.

Note that they must be actively involved in the day-to-day running of the company to legally warrant their income and you should be able to demonstrate this to HMRC if they query your accounts. you may elect to make your partner a business partner, as a company director they can also be paid a salary and/or dividends depending on the nature of the company setup. If you run a small company and are married etc. Note that this calculator assumes you are an individual looking to calculate the most efficient tax solution. While the rules can be blurry for some types of expenses, there are also certain expenses that under no circumstances could be classed as tax-deductible. Note that this tool is a simplified version of the 2023 Holistic PAYE and Tax Calculator which allows you to refine your tax details and produce diverse reports / outputs. ![]() The Combined PAYE and Dividend Calculator does just that using the key elements to allow an informed decision. ![]() PAYE is deducted before Corporation Tax (payroll is an operational expense) so there are slightly different calculations that you need to consider to make an informed decision as to which is the best tax solution for your total income (or sales generated - important semantics!). Actual cost of the contractor is approximately 1.2X of gross cost. Actual cost of an employee is approximately 2X of gross cost. With the introduction of new dividend calculations introduced by HMRC in 2016 via Thresholds and rates (similar to PAYE), dividends have become less attractive but still provide a more tax efficient solution than exclusive PAYE income which attracts National Insurance Contributions (NICs), Employers NICs mandatory company pension payments (if you are opted in to your company pension scheme).
