![]() Some (only a handful, really) free Kontakt sound libraries can indeed work without interruption in Kontakt Player. However, the free Kontakt Player plugin can only load these free third-party libraries in demo mode. It will work just fine in the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt. What’s important to understand here is that the Kontakt library you downloaded is free. Kontakt Player demo mode in full glory – notice the big red DEMO notification. After that, there will be no sound on the output, and you won’t be able to access the editing features. The “demo mode” means that you can only use the library for fifteen minutes. The majority of free third-party Kontakt libraries will work in “demo mode” in Kontakt Player. So, again, if you see the “demo mode” message in Kontakt, this means that you are using the free Kontakt Player plugin. ![]() If you bought Kontakt but you still see the “demo timeout” message when you load a Kontakt library, this means that you haven’t activated your Kontakt installation properly, and it’s operating as Kontakt Player. If you bought Kontakt from Native Instruments (or a different vendor), you are most certainly using the full version of Kontakt. If you downloaded Kontakt for free from the Native Instruments website or as a part of the free Komplete Start bundle, then you are using the free Kontakt Player plugin. It comes in two versions: KONTAKT 6 PLAYER (free) and KONTAKT 6 (€399). Kontakt is the flagship sampler plugin by Native Instruments. Sometimes you will see a “demo mode” message even though both the Kontakt Library and Kontakt Player itself are free. Indeed, using the free Kontakt Player by Native Instruments can cause some confusion, especially if you pair it with free libraries. ![]() One of the most frequently asked questions we get is a deceivingly simple one: “Why is my Kontakt library working in demo mode if it’s free?”

The new textures are also way more in line with the ambitions we have for the quality of visuals on offer in Survival Mode. Thanks to the glory and magnificence of our new game engine, we can get the block textures bigger, meaning there’s more working room for us to make them all look incredible. Since release, the block textures have been really small, making it tough for us to make a texture that both looks great and doesn’t tile too obviously. Really looking forward to getting her into the game when Survival Mode’s ready.Īs we beaver away in the background, cleaning up and improving the code in Scrap Mechanic, we’re also working hard to improve a whole bunch of visuals. In the last devblog, we promised a redesign of our female Mechanic and here she is! We’ve made a ton of new faces and hairstyles, and here’s your first look at a few examples that we hope you’ll like. We’re working as quickly as we can, and aim to keep on improving after the release. You guys deserve all the tricks we've got up our sleeve, not just one or two! Some of you will have noticed that we get a sneaky weekly update out into the test branch with fixes and improvements, and that should carry on happening right up until the official release in the coming weeks. We really want you to keep all of this in mind: just because the engine's released doesn't mean we're completely done with optimizations. After that, we'll be working towards improving FPS and and making sure the physics run more smoothly which is work that we'll continue smashing away at up to and beyond release of the engine. First up, we want to make sure the game works for the players who've so far been unable to play without issues. This makes us very, very happy! We want to make sure we're all up front and transparent with you about our hopes and priorities for the engine. We’ve started testing the new engine on a public test branch, and your feedback has been fantastic! Heaps of Mechanics have been reporting improvements in their FPS and players who couldn’t start the game before are now all up in there, scrapping away like champions. ![]() Your bug reporting skills have been invaluable, thanks so much! ![]() Now you’re strapped in, let’s just take a quick moment to say a massive thank-you to all you Mechanics who’ve been helping us test our new game engine. How about we open up our window and let you grab another little glimpse into our magical workshop of delights? That’s right friends, it’s time for another delicious devblog! The last month at Scrap HQ has been a busy one, so get comfy in your driver’s seat and let’s jump into one of our most epic devblogs yet! ![]() Without giving too much away, a terrible and inescapable fate awaits our protagonists, and their love is more susceptible than any of them know. Set in an alternate history, a messy love triangle develops at Hailsham, an English boarding school involving orphans Tommy (Andrew Garfield), Ruth (Keira Knightley), and Kathy (Carey Mulligan). Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian sci-fi novel is elegantly adapted into an agonizingly exquisite and hauntingly poetic film of dangerous and unrequited love from director Mark Romanek. And the chemistry between the two leads is beyond question. To spare her father’s life Belle offers herself to the Beast and from their Beast soon falls in love with her.Īstonishing effects, stunning costumes, overpowering visuals, Henri Alekan’s exemplary lensing, dreamy editing techniques, all pulsing and vibrating to its own fevered, weird, and electrical cadence, it’s a frequently nightmarish and ghoulish tear-jerker. The satire is sticky, as it should be, and while this film is occasionally confused and uneven, it’s still a minor masterpiece from a major talent.Ī landmark of fabulist cinematic storytelling from the legendary avant-garde artistic polyglot Jean Cocteau comes the ultimate romantic tragedy, La Belle et la Bête.Ī reimagining of the classic fairytale Beauty and the Beast, Cocteau’s version was written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and focusses on Belle (Josette Day), who’s father (Marcel André) is sentenced to death for plucking a rose from a garden that belongs to Beast (Jean Marais). “How did they make a movie out of Lolita?” queried the print ads back in ‘62 and the answer, one supposes, is with pathos, black humor, and tragic transgression. Of course Stanley Kubrick’s take on Vladimir Nabokov’s incendiary novel was going to make this list of forbidden love films, how could it not? Middle-aged Humbert Humbert (James Mason) becomes obsessed with teenaged Dolores Haze (Sue Lyon), the titular Lolita –– here she’s a 15-year-old, as opposed to the 12-year-old she was in the novel –– and the results, depending on who you ask, are one of Kubrick’s most satisfying films, at least of his early period. Despite its racy and sensational subject matter Murmur of the Heart is a shockingly sensitive, remarkably tender, and tellingly melancholic film that ranks with Malle’s finest work.ġ5-year-old Laurent Chevalier, played brilliantly by Benoît Ferreux, is in many ways an avatar for Malle –– both suffered from heart murmurs and both opposed the First Indochina War, for starters –– and is often compared favorably to François Truffaut’s likewise autobiographical film, The 400 Blows.Īn affectionate and nostalgic tale, full of affection and warmth for its characters and it somehow manages to be virtuous even when it is taboo, Murmur of the Heart beats resolutely. Scott writing for The New York Times puts it, “both spellbinding and heartbreaking, a delicate chamber piece with the large, troubled heart of an opera.”įrench New Wave luminary Louis Malle’s controversial coming-of-age story embraces accidental incest in the town of Dijon. There’s something histrionic about the emotional insecurity that Birth boldly emblazons, and it makes for something of a malefic love letter, a lamentable billet-doux from a gifted director. ![]() Nicole Kidman is Anna, a Manhattan widow who slowly comes to believe the claims of a ten-year-old boy named Sean, who repeatedly tells her that he is the reincarnation of her late husband, also named Sean, who died suddenly ten years hence. Conflict creates great drama.Jonathan Glazer’s criminally misunderstood second feature Birth combines a sedated surrealism with a powerful meditation on belief and its connection to love and the result is a confrontational and compelling pièce de résistance. “A closed Orthodox community creates a situation where (McAdams’) Esti is very religious but isn’t free to express her sexuality. “What makes the story so dramatic is the sense of taboo,” Weisz said in a one-on-one interview at the Conrad Hotel. Weisz chose Naomi Alderman’s controversial 2006 debut novel, “Disobedience.” ![]() So, I ended up reading a lot of lesbian literature.” ![]() “But most of the books I read had them competing for the same guy. She began with books about female friendship. I was just looking for something with two women. Weisz, 48, began nearly four years ago, “looking for a story to tell. Their desire is reignited but it remains forbidden in this closed society. She and Rachel McAdams play teenage sweethearts reunited decades later for a funeral in a North London Orthodox Jewish community. NEW YORK - The arrival of “Disobedience” in theaters is entirely due to Rachel Weisz’s determination to produce a film that focuses on two women.

The UK variant was originally found to be more easily transmissible – and new data published in the medical journal, the BMJ, supports claims from UK officials, based on preliminary data, that the variant may be more deadly, as well. The variant B.1.1.7, which was first identified in the United Kingdom, is also now prevalent in the country, according to the health ministry, who also said that they are worried about the presence of small clusters of the Brazilian variant. ![]() The country’s R rate is now at 1.6 with coronavirus variants increasing the spread of the virus, according to the health ministry.

In “orange zones,” people will also be banned from leaving their town and their region – except for work or health reasons – and bars and restaurants will only be able to do delivery and take-away service.Īffected regions will be labelled red or orange, depending on the level of contagion.
