Harry Pattern's enchanted pen: a revolution in art and storytelling

Once upon a time, in a small town called Crestville, there lived a young boy named Harry. He was known for his creativity and love for drawing. Harry spent hours every day doodling in his sketchbook, bringing his imagination to life. His favorite medium was a magic pen that he had found deep within the confines of an old library. This magic pen had the power to turn any drawing into a real-life object. Whatever Harry drew with this pen would come to life before his very eyes.

Genre(s): Animation, Short, Comedy

The friends utilize the motorcycle for their window-washing business, but when the town finds itself in the midst of a wool shortage, Wallace and Gromit find themselves in the thick of it all. Whether it s flying to the moon, catching a hungry were-rabbit, or just delivering baked goods around town, Wallace and Gromit need the right contraption for the job.

Whatever Harry drew with this pen would come to life before his very eyes. It was a gift that he cherished and used responsibly. Whenever he wanted to bring something to life, he would carefully sketch it with incredible attention to detail.

Just to be sure, all hack must be disabled. And depth/accurate date and accurate blend must be set. Native resolution and filtering on the bilinear PS2 mode. No anisotropic. No FXAA or any extra shader effects (easy to forget one ).

Ok, so the setting making screen dark was Skipdraw set to '1' in HW Hacks. I've set it because in Direct3D mode setting it to 1 fixes red (or green) vertical stripes (though it makes the screen darker)

So in the end the settings should be

Renderer: OpenGL (Hardware)
Hardware Depth 'ON' - fixes red stripes
HW Hacks, Skipdraw = 0
HW Hacks, Halfpixels offset 'ON' - fixes misplaced
Interlacing: Blend bff - fixes shaking

Accurate date - makes no diffrence
Blending accuraty - also makes no diffrence
Didn't use FXAA or shader effects.

Hi,
The game still works fine but I've noticed the sky in the tutorial stage is looking strange - there are dome-shaped horizontal stripes, see the picture. I've tried different PCSX versions 1.2.1, 1.4.0, 1.7.2330, different render modes, tried switching hacks and other settings on and off and it still shows.

In the youtube video "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in "True 60FPS" | PCSX2 1.7.2330 Vulkan | 4K( 6xIR )", at 5:02 mark - those stripes are noticeably softer

I don't remember this effect when I completed the game some years ago. Might it be my graphics card with a newer driver? gt730m

That did it, thanks! The stripes are there but much more subtle
Also newest build fixes the flicker on reflective parts (car bumper) that was present 1.7.2230.
Also with 1.7.3209 Qt the videos are rendered full, no black rectangle over bottom part. It is still present with 1.7.3209 wxWidgets

It's this very dynamic that helps elevate Curse of the Were-Rabbit above several movie-based, kiddie games. Each section of a particular stage (much of the game takes place in a quaint town) features a variety of multiplayer puzzles to solve. While many aren't that inspiring or inventive, they do help make the game a little more interesting. For example, many of the doors and traps in the game require one character to activate a switch while the other retrieves an item. Or there would be a ladder controlled by a crank and the only way to climb the ladder and reach an item was to have the secondary character control the crank.

Harry's creations amazed everyone in Crestville. He drew magnificent landscapes, whimsical creatures, and even objects that could assist people. One day, he drew a flying carpet for his elderly neighbor, Mr. Thompson, who had always dreamed of traveling the world. With the help of the magic pen, Mr. Thompson embarked on thrilling adventures, fulfilling his lifelong dreams. As word spread about Harry's incredible gift, people from far and wide started visiting Crestville. They came to witness his magical creations and marvel at the wonders he could bring to life. The town turned into a vibrant hub of creativity and imagination, all thanks to Harry and his magic pen. However, not everyone appreciated Harry's talents. A jealous artist named Victor grew envious of Harry's success. He believed that his own skills were superior to Harry's magical abilities and decided to challenge him to a drawing competition. Victor and Harry faced off in a grand exhibition, where they had to create their masterpieces in front of a large audience. Victor showcased his technical prowess, meticulously crafting a still-life painting with stunning precision. The audience applauded his attention to detail. It was Harry's turn next. With the magic pen in hand, he began to draw a majestic dragon. As his pen glided across the canvas, the audience held their breath in awe. Slowly, the dragon came to life, its scales shimmering and its wings unfurling. The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, overwhelmed by the creature's magnificence. Victor, realizing that he could not compete with Harry's newfound creation, felt a pang of regret for underestimating his talent. He approached Harry after the exhibition and apologized for his jealousy. The two artists became friends, and Victor even became Harry's apprentice, learning to appreciate the magic and creativity that flowed through him. With Victor by his side, Harry continued to make the world a more magical place. He used the magic pen to create beautiful artworks that inspired people, brought joy to their lives, and reminded them of the power of imagination. Harry's legacy as the master of the magic pen lived on for generations, igniting the spark of creativity in the hearts of people young and old. And so, Crestville remained a beacon of art and wonder, all thanks to Harry and his magical gift that allowed him to touch the lives of others through his extraordinary creations..

Reviews for "How Harry Pattern's enchanted pen changed the world of art forever"

1. Karen - 2 stars

I was really disappointed with "Harry Pattern and the Magic Pen". The plot was incredibly predictable and lacked any originality. It felt like a rehashing of the same old magical school story that has been done countless times before. The characters were also one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them. Overall, I found the book to be boring and unimpressive.

2. Mark - 1 star

I cannot understand the hype around "Harry Pattern and the Magic Pen". The writing style was juvenile and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The humor fell flat and the attempts at creating a magical world were poorly executed. The story itself was uninteresting and lacked any real substance. I would not recommend wasting your time on this book.

3. Sarah - 3 stars

While "Harry Pattern and the Magic Pen" had its moments, I couldn't help but feel that it was lacking in several areas. The pacing was inconsistent, with certain parts dragging on while others were rushed. The character development was also quite weak, leaving me feeling indifferent towards the protagonist and their journey. Additionally, the magic system felt underdeveloped, with little explanation or exploration. Overall, it was an average read, but not one that stands out in the genre.

4. Mike - 2 stars

"Harry Pattern and the Magic Pen" had potential, but ultimately fell short for me. The story was promising, but the execution left much to be desired. The writing felt amateurish and lacked polish, with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing throughout. The story also had several plot holes that were never addressed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. I had high hopes for this book, but I was left disappointed.
