Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

I’d never have guessed the Bank of England was so big. Just shows what you can hide underground if you dig a big enough hole. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4987016.stm

V5I: Vue Dynamics 0.3 – Now with Added Particles

Monday, May 29th, 2006

I’ve just uploaded the latest version of VueDynamics with added particle emitting capabilities. Particles can be subjected to the same forces as objects could in previous versions.

Almost forgot to post

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

Almost midnight and I’ve been so busy I almost forgot to post. Fingers crossed I’ll have a new version of VueDynamics to release tommorrow with basic particle support.

V5I: Mill in Fog Take 2

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Left my PC on overnight rendering a new version of animated fog made with VueDynamics. Increased the number of sheres from 400 to 600 and added a drift from left to right to the random walk animation with spin on the spheres. Also tried a heavier standard Vue fog in the atmosphere to fade the […]

Connection Woes

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

I couldn’t get a connection to the Internet tonight. If someone had told me in 1989 that two hours without an Internet connection would ruin an evening I’d have laughed at them. Back in 1989 I’d seen a variety of blocky, slow, precursors to the WWW and none of them was going to set the […]

V5I: VueDynamic 0.2.1

I’ve just put uploaded a minor update new version of the VueDynamic script, VueDynamics0_2_1.zip. Version 0.2.1 . It fixes a problem I found with a starting frame set to anything other than 0 resulting in weird animation of objects between frame zero and the first frame of the effect being applied If you need help […]
