Les personnages de Final Fantasy XII utilisaient moins de polygones (~1500) que ceux de FFX (~ 3000 voire beaucoup plus). Le tour de force des graphistes a été de masquer cette baisse grâce au travail titanesque sur les textures. L'art de l'optimisation.
Punks in the West burnt bibles at rock concerts while punks in the East wore crucifixes around their neck. Same people, opposite ideological paths and therefore opposite rules to break. Anthropologically very interesting
'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms.
The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.”
We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'
Northwestern engineers built a drone that spins its own body 25 times a second to disappear mid-flight.
It's called Phantom Twist.
No paint. No clear plastic shell. No camouflage.
Most of the frame rotates. 25 turns per second. 1,500 per minute. A full turn every 40 milliseconds.
The propeller spins the other way.
That's the trick. The counter-rotation cancels the spin, and the aircraft holds steady while its body turns into a smear.
The eye tracks a bird. It tracks a normal quadcopter.
It can't lock onto a shape that redraws itself 25 times a second.
You see motion. You see blur. You never see the outline.
Every camouflage in history tried to match the background.
This one just refuses to hold still.
