It’s owned by the French state, not by the Catholic Church, and it’s a designated historic monument, to boot, one that’s continually being restored. They’re still under copyright, so the visual of the illuminated Eiffel Tower can’t be used in commercial works without a license. ![]() But the lights that play across it at night were installed in 1989. The tower itself is well out of copyright - it was completed in 1889. The Eiffel Tower is the best example of how French monuments can get bound up in copyright. That’s due in part to France’s copyright laws. In fact, none of the artwork in Unity’s Notre-Dame is authentic to real life - none of the sculptures, none of the paintings, none of the detailing in the rose windows. Speaking of those sculptures, they’re not identical to the ones that appear on the physical cathedral. (But only a jerk capturing footage for some kind of YouTube video would do a thing like that.) France’s issues with copyright It’s an optimization technique that looks great and doesn’t compromise immersion - unless you get really close and swing the camera around to break the illusion. The designers elected to create gorgeous textures that give them the appearance of being sculpted. Rather than being rendered with all these sculptures as 3D objects, the tympana in Unity are flat. For example, each tympanum above Notre-Dame’s main doors is full of intricate sculptures depicting biblical scenes. Game designers also have to work with technical restrictions.

Mobility is key in Assassin’s Creed, so Unity’s departures from real life didn’t stop at Notre-Dame. Gilt panels on the balustrades of the tribune and along the nave guide the player’s movements. There are also windows that swing open on the upper levels of the cathedral. “We added things like cables and incense across the second level of Notre Dame so players would be able to move around easier when they’re above the ground,” Miousse told UbiBlog. In interviews on Ubisoft’s blog and with Destructoid, she discussed the ways in which the team tweaked the cathedral to give the player greater mobility.

Why it wouldn’t work Unity’s poor reception was blamed for weak sales of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate the following year. There’s a beautiful narrative to it! Assassin’s Creed Unity was derided when it came out for its bugs, its poor optimization, its microtransactions, its companion app, its controversy over a lack of women character models in co-op. So basically, “Sure, if they ask us.” Experts also quashed the rumor - in French and in English. When asked by The Guardian, a Ubisoft spokesperson said that the company wasn’t involved in the reconstruction, but said, “We would be more than happy to lend our expertise in any way that we can to help with these efforts.” But the company never said it was handing over its plans or models. Ubisoft made a donation of €500,000 to the restoration effort and made Unity free on PC for a week. Didn’t Ubisoft have some incredibly detailed 3D models of the cathedral lying around? Couldn’t architects, historians, and artisans make use of these boons? The damage to the cathedral was and remains extensive, but French President Emmanuel Macron immediately swore that it would be rebuilt.įollowing the fire, I saw more than a few articles pop up suggesting that the much-maligned 2014 video game Assassin’s Creed Unity could provide a way forward. ![]() It engulfed the spire and the wooden roof, weakened the stone vault, and endangered the western towers’ massive bells.

![]() ![]() According to the references from Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, the island of Atlantis was the chosen domain of Poseidon. There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for Athens to Athena.

(A Boy of No Consequence) When the Palladium was stolen by Medea, it was said the earthquake that ensued was the anger of Poseidon. (The Earth Bull) Poseidon was the judge of most Atlanteans in slaying the Minotaur and their skill in bull-leaping. They often showed their faith in the Temple of Poseidon.

![]() ![]() Part of that is me learning the program but alot of it is archicad not being as sweet as revit. The end result is a wall section that woul have taken me 20 mins to layout in Revit has taken me almost 2hr to do in archiCAD. ![]() I am doing wall sections in ArchiCAD today and instead of chosing all of my elements from a library like in Revit (studs, bricks, joist, and steel beams) i have to draft everything with Fills which means that i have to go online and look up the actual dimensions for everything that i don't have on the top of my head, like the size of a 20K steel joist. One main thing that comes to mind is detailing in Revit vs ArchiCAD. Where Revit reinvents drafting by makeing everything an object that exist in the model. ArchiCAD just dosn't seam to have the power that Revit doses, and it seams to hang on to the past in terms of it's dependancy on layers and its focuse on drafting everything. In fact i have found many examples where i ask my co-workers how to do something in ArchiCAD that i know i could do in Revit, i get the response of "you can't". ArchiCAD has some nice features that Revit dosn't have but i have yet to find that one feature that makes me say "oh my god ArchiCAD is so much better that Revit". I have been using it for about a month now and i can tell you that i woul much rather be working in Revit. I am a Revit user who recently switched jobs and now have to use ArchiCAD. very difficult to readįri, at 5:38:24 PM | REVIT 2009 VS ARCHICAD 12 I am using firefox right now.Īnd the font size is so small here too. Revit was only acqired by Autodesk, not invented by Autodesk, and I don't believe in their compatibility.īy the way, just want to know why I can't use Safari in my mac to reply in this forum. Whenever people look for BIM, they must be seach around and look at Revit instead of ArchiCAD. Just like, do you think LV's bag is that good? why so most people choose LV's bags? because of the brand therefore, people would stick to every autodesk product whenever However, I think because of Autodesk is the market player. So I think they both have strengths and weakness. So, they may use different method to do the same thing. I think both ArchiCAD and Revit has been developed with different appoarch. I never got that far.įri, at 4:53:35 AM | REVIT 2009 VS ARCHICAD 12 If you really want to work through it, download the trial version and see if you can build your house. Even programs as different as Adobe Photoshop and Gimp are closer than Revit & Archicad. Unlike a word processor comparison between MS Word & Open Office Write ther differences in basic use are so fundamentally different someone that is comfortable in one program would have serious productivity losses switching.

And is it not convenient, nay absolutely necessary, to Marry, if such a name as the Roman must not be extinguished, if there must be any such thing as Roman Armies and Commanders, that Rome abound in Inhabitants, to improve the Land, and serve at Sea, to follow Trades, practise Manufactures, and when Wars come, to fight, and fight with greater resolution, because they have Wives and Children? You therefore, O men, (for you only the Roman Emperor owns by that name) you therefore, O fathers (for you only deserve to wear that title) you I love and honour, and shall place all the marks of my favour upon you I am sure it's best the riches of Rome should be in your hands, that have young Romans to bestow them on you have given pledges to your Coun∣try of your fidelity, and your concern for her felicity.I have just seen the new Dune movie (2021) and I really liked it, but I do not understand the Emperor's actions completely. What satisfaction is it, when you leave the world, that not a stranger, but a part of your selves enjoy your substance that you lose not life (as in a battel) all in a lump, but live when you are dead, in little parcels of your selves. Is it not beyond expression, sweet to behold your children, those pledges of your mutual love, those little Models of your selves, theĮpitomes of your souls and bodies, in whom when you are decaying, you flourish and grow young again. You glo∣ry in being their off-spring, may others glory as much in being descended from you it's a wise care to leave riches behind you, but a wiser, to leave them to some, whom Rome and you may own for Children.Īs for your Ladies, your own experience hath satisfied you, how happy a thing it is, to have a faithful Compa∣nion of your life, interested in your Weal or Wo, a mau∣ger of the fruits of your Industry, and with unexpressible affection, a nourisher of the fruits of your body, one that manageth your House to your honour is pleased when you are merry, attends on you with tenderness in your sickness, in prosperity doubles your happiness by sharing in it, and in adversity takes half of the burden, in youth pleases you, and in old age assists you.

These men are dead, and without your example, not only their memory, but the whole Roman name were endangered men are in this infe∣rior to Spirits, that they must owe to children a vicarious kind of Immortality. Rome of old owed her valiant People, and thereby her great∣ness to the Marriage-bed we owe those great spirits that put their yoke upon the world, and yet submitted them∣selves to the yoke of Marriage. Others take the way to leave our Italy a Desart, void of warlike Hands, and obnoxious to every multitude that shall invade it: To such as you, I See it, and not without trouble, how small your num∣ber whether I consider the greatness of this City, or this swarm of careless sparks, that would enjoy all the plea∣sures, but contribute nothing to the security of the place they live in: I heartily thank you that you would withstand this Torrent of Debauchery, I thank you as a publick Go∣vernour, I thank you as Augustus, you endeavour to secure my Honour, that posterity may not say the ruin of Rome be∣gun in the days of Augustus. ![]() |
