When faced with an agitated patient with dementia, the options for management are terrible. Last year, I discovered a company which is using robotics to address a serious healthcare problem: Agitation and anxiety in the elderly who suffer from dementia. One of the more fascinating sections of CES deals with Robotics. Harmony 10’s step upwards is 64-bits and it is a really big deal! Go for it!ĬES is not all about cool new televisions, laptops, and smart phones. Switch to 64-bit and even my first generation Intel i7 runs like a sports car. If you are stuck in 32-bit, these scenes become unmanageable, even on the fastest super-computer. Power users will quickly add complexity to their scenes. The animation renders film quality frames with no difficulty. The result: The animation is easily handled by my computer and Harmony 10.

Would it crash? Could I render film resolution frames without the dreaded Windows 7 error message? On that same machine, now running Harmony 10, I loaded up the Steve Ballmer animation. Would it perform as advertised? Is it REALLY better? So, Harmony 10 is 64-bits and advertises faster and better scene handling. The problem was Harmony 9, which is a 32-bit program, could not handle the memory demands of my complex scene. My assumption: Even my well-equipped Intel i7 machine was overwhelmed. I was able to create the basic scene before frustration made me stop. Even though I set my preferences in the program to reduce memory use, the program still stuttered.
If I rendered anything other than a 720 by 480 resolution frame, the program crashed. It became extremely difficult to work with the animation. The goal was to recreate the “drama” of the big event before making fun of it all.Īs the scene was composited, I ran into trouble: Simply maneuvering around the elements made my machine pause and then crash. Using all of the 3D features of Harmony 9, I added a stage, characters, and background. Last year, I made an animation for CES about Steve Ballmer.

But you get a portable animation machine! Is this as good as a laptop with a dedicated graphics card? Of course not…. Verdict: Harmony runs well on this machine. I was impressed enough to get a Lenovo X230T tablet, running Windows 7. has a good review of the graphics capabilities. This created challenges for those who wanted a portable animation platform.Įnter Ivy Bridge with its higher end HD 4000 graphics and promises of OpenGL support in an integrated graphics laptop. Windows Tablet PC’s all tend to offer only integrated graphics, except for some models of the HP tm2 (now obsolete) and Fujitsu T901 (also soon disappearing). If your video card is inadequate, the programs will run badly or not at all, meaning they crash.

The big issue for Toon Boom Animate Pro and Harmony is video graphics.
This offered fans of Toon Boom animation improved graphics performance. Toon Boom Studio 4 learning process.This year, Intel released Ivy Bridge.
Toon Boom Studio 4 learning process.part 3.Toon Boom Studio 4 learning process.part 4.Now that I know what I am doing I find the drawing part pretty easy. Anyway, above is a screen capture of the drawing I am cleaning up using Toon Boom Studio 4. On one hand I do want to work on Slinky using Toon Boom all year, on the other hand I don't want to be sick again this year. Oh! I am also starting out the year with a horrible flu, so I am not sure if I should hope the rest of the year turns out quite like the first day of the year. And the Toon Boon Harmony lessons I got last week turned out to help tremendously, much of the interface is the same in Studio 4 as it is in Harmony, and the tools and methods of working are also very similar. So I figured I should start the year out working on this "Slinky" project using Toon Boom software, because that is what I want to be doing all year. People have told me that however you start out the new year is a sign of how the rest of the year will be so, for example, if you start out with your apartment in a state of disorganized mess, then it will be disorganized and messy all year.
