Of course it is the referee's opinion that ultimately matters, but if a top-class official cannot distinguish between a 'career-threatening tackle' and two perfectly legitimate challenges, then that referee has no business officiating in the top league in the world. "What made matters worse, Attwell then booked Leicester City's Nampalys Mendy, having made not one, but two, perfectly legitimate tackles.

![]() But you still have to consider point 2 below.Ģ. that final diameter will make circle of confusion (bokeh balls) getting bigger chance to look like a bokeh ball. simply divide focal length with f number and you get lens diameter (30/1.4 < 50/1.8). the focal length must be taken into equation for the bokeh quality. smaller F number doesn't always make better bokeh. Some facts (unscientifically though) need to be considered when talking bokeh:ġ. Also, I have no interest in needing a lens specifically for portrait shots. Do folks think that might be a better lens for bokeh given wider aperture? I would only want the 50mm f1.8 or 30mm f1.4 so would love input on which is best for bokeh shots. I am also interested in taking night time shots that have cool effect of blurry city lights in background, but have not done yet. It produces great bokeh effect when I've done close-up shots of flowers. I'm a beginner with Sony a6000 and 50mm f1.8 lens. The Sony FE 85 f/1.8 is very high on my personal wish list, and my Sony 50 (which I like, but rarely use since I got the Sigma 30) is probably going to get sold to get me closer to getting that 85. There is a limit to low light focus, but I haven't noticed a huge difference in abilities between it and other lenses I have. Great sharpness, fast AF for stills, creamy backgrounds when subject is close. On the Sigma 30 f/1.4, I've got one and I'm stupid happy with it. Longer is better, although longer + wider usually mean more money. +1 what he said about focal length effecting bokeh. Conspiracy theories say that it is almost identical to the Batis 85 and image quality seems to be equal from what I have seen. If you are looking for strictly a portrait lens then maybe consider something a little longer and fast like the FE85/1.8 when is getting a great reputation for an inexpensive lens with great image quality. I'd suggest something in 50mm or preferably longer (for apsc, 75 or longer on ff). You will probably find that the compression of a slightly longer than normal focal length will give a very flattering/pleasing effect. Try a 30, 50 and 80 at f4 and watch what happens to both bokeh and perspective. The longer you go the shallower the depth of field and the more extreme the bokeh is for any given aperture. Keep in mind that bokeh is not just affected by aperture but also focal length. At 135 or longer on apsc even f4 will give good bokeh. When shooting longer you don't need crazy fast. I also will use my 80-210 zoom for portraits. Personally my portrait lens is the 55/1.8 Zeiss (ff lens on apsc body). The focal length of 30 is also a little short for flattering portrature. Really sucks for the model under that kind of heat. I had to turn my modeling lights to full in the studio just to get it to stop hunting. I had one and optically it was great but AF was a total joke. Overall, I think it's a good combinaison to have both lenses, the 30 is also quite cheap for a 1.4 lens and it's a better "walk around" lense. The Sigma 30 F1.4 is more polyvalent than the 50, which is more specialized for portrait.īut the bokeh of the 50 is hard to beat, and I don't think you will have better result with the 30 for bokeh. ![]() So, give that a read if you’re curious about it.

How Do Backgrounds Affect Stats in 5e?ĥe’s background options do not affect your Ability Scores. So, just remember your proficiencies, where your feature works, and your traits and behaviors and you’re good to go. Your personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws are all role-playing aids to help make your character "real." But, some Dungeon Masters reward players with advantage for having their characters act according to their traits. Now, because of this, there’s no real mechanical ruleset to worry about. You get your language(s) and/or tool proficiences. There’s not much to how backgrounds in 5e work. You do get the background feature that…kind of activates in special circumstances?

To simplify things, let’s go through how backgrounds in 5e work. And, it helps you role play as your character during the game. The most important question to ask about your background is what changed? Why did you stop doing whatever your background describes and start adventuring? Where did you get the money to purchase your starting gear, or, if you come from a wealthy background, why don’t you have more money? How did you learn the skills of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share your background?"īasically, your character’s background defines their experience prior to them becoming an adventurer. Your rogue might have gotten by as a guild thief or commanded audiences as a jester.Ĭhoosing a background provides you with important story cues about your character’s identity. Your wizard could have been a sage or an artisan. Your fighter might have been a courageous knight or a grizzled soldier. Your character’s background reveals where you came from, how you became an adventurer, and your place in the world. of the Player’s Handbook or the Personality and Backgrounds section on DnD Beyond explains 5e’s backgrounds as: They give you and your fellow players an idea of where your character came from and their past experiences.

Our ambitions as developers are as important as our ambitions as owners,” explains Philippe. ![]() ![]() “It’s the beauty of being entirely independent and remaining small. And what comes next? Well, Red Barrels does not exactly function with a long-term vision: everything depends upon the projects that come forth from their fabulous imagination. After creating their own IP and consolidating their success with the release of the second version of Outlast, the visionaries behind Red Barrels are catching their breath and attempting to take a bit of a step back. “Sony and Microsoft showed an interest in offering the game with their consoles and the game was very well received, so its distribution was quite simple after that,” he recalls. “We’re proud of having delivered Outlast, which was an immediate success, without exceeding our budget and while conserving our independence,” asserts Philippe. One and a half years later, with $1M from the Canada Media Fund, $330,000 of love money and a loan guarantee for $150,000 from the SDVEM, Red Barrels took on the production of the PC version of their first game. Philippe and his friends began the funding search for Red Barrels with great enthusiasm, as well as a dose of realism acquired during the startup phase. He humbly gives the impression that creating a major company is as simple as it is exciting. The president of Red Barrels, who also taught at the INIS and Université de Montréal, is inspiring and visibly passionate about his field. Philippe Morin studied film and started working in the video game design sector somewhat by chance, when he applied for a screenwriting position. “We wanted to make games, not just talk about them.” “We wanted to go back to working with smaller teams, in order to stay more hands-on and spend less time in conference rooms,” recounts Philippe. After having realized various key projects with big players like Ubisoft and Electronic Arts, Philippe Morin, David Châteauneuf and Hugo Dallaire were looking for a change. Press Play Wanting to create high quality games that are achievable by a small team of the best developers Quebec has to offer, the cofounders of Red Barrels decided to launch their company in 2011. Red Barrels has already sold 550,000 units of Outlast 2 since its launch on April 25, 2017. The main markets for Red Barrels are the United States, Russia, China and Germany, with the Outlast game having brought terror to more than 8 million players worldwide. In 2013, it was named Best PC Game by Gaming Bolt in 2013 and Scariest Game of 2013 by PressPlay TV, in addition to receiving the Fan’s Choice award during the Canadian Video Game Awards. Outlast is a game straight out of a nightmare that places the hero in excruciatingly petrifying situations. Distributed by Valve (through the Steam platform), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the dark worlds of Red Barrels demonstrate, with extraordinary creativity, that the most terrifying monsters are those who inhabit the human spirit. Red Barrels’ first games are based on the theme of “horror and survival,” a niche market with huge potential that had not yet been exploited in Quebec and had been ignored by the big industry players. These independent creators of single player video games play hard, as can be seen by their flagship products Outlast, the Outlast Whistleblower extension and Outlast 2. “We’re going to have fun animating rainbows and Care Bears now…” jokes Philippe Morin, President of Red Barrels. – Philippe Morin, President of Red Barrels Just over a month after the launch of their last game, these Montreal specialists in spine-chilling games are taking some time to let their next idea percolate, wanting to develop something new, with a different tone.
