G+ introduces games

After getting a rock start Google Plus started loosing place in browsers of internet users. After gaining record breaking 20 Million users in the first two weeks , Google started dragging behind as there were no more interesting new things available on Google plus.

Usually people use social networks to pass their time along with enjoying some entertainment , by means of games, videos and chats. Most of the users are made to stay longer on social networks by offering interactive Games inside social networks. It does not matter even if they are developed by third party developers.


That is how people waste their major free time on internet on social networks. After analyzing their drawbacks, Google Plus team has launched Games for G+ users. They are offering some popular premium games for free, from which they can earn some interest from users.

Some of the top level Games they are offering are Angry Birds, Wild Ones, Zynga Poker, Zombie Lane, Dragons of Atlantis, Monster World, Dragon Age Legends, City of Wonder etc..
They are offered for free and will be loaded faster.

How to Play?

Log in to your Google plus account on Plus.google.com and click on the G+ Game icon in the list of icons listed horizontally in front of Google+ icon and play any of the listed featured game.

Happy Gaming!

Modify Your CD-ROM to Watch DVD Movies

There are two types of CD-ROM drives we can mod:
24x to 40x
40x or higher
Drives slower than 24x are too old to be modded.
24x to 40x CD ROMs

Laser Head Adjustments:
The track pitch of CDs is 1.6 microns, and the track pitch of DVDs is only 0.8 microns. The minimum length of track pits of CDs is 0.843mm, and the minimum length of track pits of DVDs is 0.293mm. That's why DVD discs can store much more data in the size of a CD.
Pinpointing this situation, we need to adjust the laser head so it can read discs with smaller track pitchs and shorter track pits. Open up the CD-ROM drive, do you see a lens on the rail? That's the laser head. On the side of the laser head, there's a screw you can adjust.This is the key of this mod.This screw can adjust the size of the laser beam that lands on the disc. Referring to the above, after adjusting, the laser beam should be less than 0.293mm, to suit the needs of DVD discs. So turn that screw 2-3 times. I got this number through trial and error. Mark with a pencil, in case you forget how many times you turned that screw.

Speed adjustments:
DVD-ROM drives can play DVD movies smoothly at 4x speed. If we're modding a 32x CD-ROM drive, the rotation speed is obviously too high, increasing heat, and shortening the life of the drive.
So we need to decrease the speed of it.
Most people know that power supplies can provide 5V (red wire) and 12V (yellow wire) electricity output for Molex connectors. Find the Molex connector you'll plug into the modded CD-ROM drive, cut the yellow wire or insulate it with tape, so only 5V of electricity is transferred to the CD-ROM drive. The speed of the drive is now 32 * 5/17 = 9.41x and can now fulfill our requirements.

40x or higher CD ROMs
When 40x CD-ROM drives are released, most manufacturers are already producing DVD-ROM drives. To lower cost, they use the same core as DVD-ROM drives with DVD functions disabled. What we need to do here is to re-enable the DVD function.
Open up the CD-ROM, behind the circuit board, look for a jumper that says DVD JUMP. Find a jumper to connect this jumper. Thin metal wire also works fine.
OK, so the DVD function is unlocked, but we still need to decrease the speed. Use the instructions above on how to decrase the speed of the drive.

Notes:
Modded drives cannot be detected in POST, that means you cannot use it in DOS. But once you get into Windows, the drive works fine.
Modded drives have no region code problems.
Modded drives MIGHT NOT read DVD9 discs, that's why I said you can watch most retail DVDs in the beginning.

Create a 3D model of yourself

Create Super-Realistic 3D Models in Minutes

Simply load one front-face and one profile photo (or sketches or artwork) into 3DMeNow 1.5™ and start modeling and animating 3D humans or characters straight away! Just line up the points to your images to create your model - then load in a standard *.wav file or record your voice to create stunning real-time 3D animations...

3DMeNow Professional is our top-of-the-range human modeling package. Used to build recognizable human and character models for interactive 3D games and broadcast animation, this software produces amazingly lifelike 3D head data (models, textures and morph states) in a fraction of the time taken with conventional manual authoring techniques.
Creates data suitable for use in 3DSMaxTM, MayaTM, SoftImageTM and most industry standard 3D authoring applications.

Cut production time

3DMeNow Pro™ v2; slashes production time on real-time and fully rendered 3D human/ character animation for games and full-motion-video: not only in the creation of your base state models and textures, but in animation production - simply build your model from photos or art, then automatically output up to 56 high quality morphs for facial animation and full lipsynch!

Key Features

3DMeNow Pro™ v2 offers all the features of v1 as well as:

• New enhanced base models including head, bust and torso
• Enhanced morph targets
• Enhanced modeling and texture-mapping
• Export formats:*.3ds/ *.lwo/ *.vrml/ *.X/ *.xsi/ *.stl/ *.obj/ *.RAW/ *.lwo/ *.bio
• Realtime output with new audio compression for amazingly low-bandwidth interactive content
• Full Screen Video file output
• Batch morph target export

Biovirtual 3DMeNow Pro allows the creation of real-time and fully rendered 3D heads for games and full-motion-video.
It makes not only base state models and textures but animation.
The application automatically generates blended morph states for lip sync and facial animation.
Working from just 2 photos, side and front, you can create 3D photometrical head models.

Simply load one front-face and one profile photo (or sketches or artwork) into 3DMeNow 1.5™ and start modeling and animating 3D humans or characters straight away! Just line up the points to your images to create your model - then load in a standard *.wav file or record your voice to create stunning real-time 3D animations...

Features:

Animation

Animation with 3DMeNow™ v1.5 is incredibly easy - and amazingly powerful. Build-up complex animations from a palette of 35 available actions, simply by dragging them onto the timeline. With automatic lipsynch, as well as automatic idling animation - anyone, beginner or professional, can quickly assemble a realistic and expressive animation sequence appropriate to the speech.

Actions

With actions you can make your models act in virtually any way you want: actions include whole- face emotions (happy, sad, angry etc) as well as part- face expressions (smile, frown, squint etc); looks (eyes and whole head rotations) and crazy morphs. Fine-tune actions on the timeline to create incredibly realistic, as well as hilarious animations of all kinds.

Sound

Record your speech (or anyone else's!) directly into 3DMeNow™ v1.5 - or load any *.wav file for instant, automatic animation. Edit and optimize the audio for efficient web distribution. Apply effects to change the way your voice sounds for serious, and comic effects.
