I hope to make a 3D model of existing landscapes in blender, with the hope of eventually adding them to video games that allow you to create your own maps. I tried using the following two tutorials with no luck:  and   With the video, I do have 3D maps, but I think I have too large an area with too low of a resolution. This is because when I try to zoom in, it seems the roads are a bit blurry. I am trying to start out with somewhat large areas, like the island of Nusa Tenggara Timur in Indonesia, with the hopes of slicing out a smaller section that can be used in a game without crashing. I am quite new to blender and while I can follow along the video tutorial, I’m not 100% understanding everything I’m doing and what the alternatives are.

Why didn't the Seons change? In the book Elantris, the Reod was caused by a giant earthquake opening a chasm which changed the shape of all the Aons. The Seons, which are basically living Aons, were presumably unchanged, since nobody noticed the change, which should have been obvious on the simpler Aons. Health decreasing for no apparent reason I am playing Dragonborn DLC. I am currently going through one of the black books quests and even though I am not fighting my health bar keeps going down. I can heal back up to full again but it keeps disappearing. If I do not heal I will die in about 30 seconds.  I have no disease or nothing is visible anyway, no clue as to what's wrong. I can leave the black book quest or fast travel to a different location or rest for 24 hours but still the health disappears. Will new Minecraft features appear in existing worlds? I'm a new Minecrafter, and was wondering if new updates are backwards compatible. Specifically, will the new "Adventure Update" features (Beta 1.8) appear in existing worlds created with Beta 1.7 and earlier? Or will I need to create a new world for this version? I have no idea how to prove that the set $\{(x, |x|): x\in\mathbb{R}\}$ is not the image of an immersion of $\mathbb{R}$ into $\mathbb{R}^2$  For example   If $f(t)=(t^3, |t|^3)$ then $f'(0)=(0, 0)$. I use a dual monitor.  The colors appear entirely different on the new monitor than they do on my laptop.  When you are selecting colors etc, to be included in a website design, it totally freaks me out.  Is there no software solution that finds how the settings of one of the monitor is and puts that to the second one?  Otherwise what all settings do I need to change manually on the second monitor to make it appear as it does on the laptop?  Thanks in advance. A Basic Question about Gravity, Inertia or Momentum or something along those lines Does Hard reboot damage my Ubuntu accessing loop variable within a loop Why do objects move when you apply a force that's equal in magnitude to the friction? If the friction on an object is 200 N and you apply 200 N, it seems, the forces should immediately cancel each other out since the friction and your applied force go in opposite directions, leaving you with an object that is motionless. Yet, from what I've read, that's not the case. I feel like I'm misunderstanding something. Could it be I'm wrong about needing to apply 200 N initially? Might the amount of force I actually need be greater, but instantaneously decrease to 200 N? I need a 'good' way to initialize the pseudo-random number generator in C++. I've found  that states:     In order to generate random-like   numbers, srand is usually initialized   to some distinctive value, like those   related with the execution time. For   example, the value returned by the   function time (declared in header   ctime) is different each second, which   is distinctive enough for most   randoming needs.   Unixtime isn't distinctive enough for my application. What's a better way to initialize this? Bonus points if it's portable, but the code will primarily be running on Linux hosts.  I was thinking of doing some pid/unixtime math to get an int, or possibly reading data from /dev/urandom.  Thanks!  EDIT  Yes, I am actually starting my application multiple times a second and I've run into collisions. Best word wrap algorithm? Word wrap is one of the must-have features in a modern text editor.  How word wrap be handled? What is the best algorithm for word-wrap?  If text is several million lines, how can I make word-wrap very fast?  Why do I need the solution? Because my projects must draw text with various zoom level and simultaneously beautiful appearance.  The running environment is Windows Mobile devices. The maximum 600&nbsp;MHz speed with very small memory size.  How should I handle line information? Let's assume original data has three lines.  THIS IS LINE 1. THIS IS LINE 2. THIS IS LINE 3.   Afterwards, the break text will be shown like this:  THIS IS LINE 1. THIS IS LINE 2. THIS IS LINE 3.   Should I allocate three lines more? Or any other suggestions? ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ What temperature is achieved in focus point by 5000 flat 1x1cm mirrors onto a satellite dish? There is this  ("R5800 Solar Death Ray") where teenager built a 5000 mirror device which concetrates the solar rays which is showing the potency of the mosaic method of concentrating sunlight using elliptical dish. It can fire the wood, boil the water in seconds, melt an aluminum, glass or even burn the whole in concrere or rock.  What is the approximate maximum temperature (could be a range) is achieved by this mirror device in its focus point on sunny day?       The R5800 solar concentrator, replaced by the new R23k, is made from   an ordinary fiberglass satellite dish. It is covered in about 5800   3/8" (~1cm) mirror tiles. When properly aligned, it can generate a   spot the size of a dime with an intensity of 5000 times normal   daylight. This intensity of light is more than enough to melt steel,   vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate   any organic material in an instant. It stands at 5'9" and is 42"   across.   Technical details &amp; calculations:     Calculations: Area of dish aperture (elliptical)= (pi x 102cm x   73cm)/4 = 5848 sq cm       Area of focal point (circular)= pi(0.6cm)^2 = 1.14 sq cm      Dish Type= 0.7m x 1m offset focus elliptical.      Concentration Power= 5000x      Output Power Estimate = 560 watts Inheriting from a UserControl in WPF I am fairly new to WPF and I am having a problem with inheriting from a user control.  I created a User Control and now I need to inherit from that control and add some more functionality.  Has anyone does this sort of thing before?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you Integrate $\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{-ax^2 + bx +c}} $ A cyclic group is a group that is generated by a single element.  That means that there exists an element $g$, say, such that every other element of the group can be written as a power of $g$.  This element $g$ is the generator of the group.  Is that a correct explanation for what a cyclic group and a generator are? How can we find the generator of a cyclic group and how can we say how many generators should there be?
