Modern Mime
Saturday, September 8th, 2007I was going to post a funny video I saw on YouTube but for the life of me I can’t find it now. Fortunately Kim has a funny one from The Secret Policeman’s Ball and I’m going to steal it to fill a gap in my blog today. I thought I’d blogged about the show […]

Vue Stereo Image Camera Creation Script
Monday, September 3rd, 2007I was asked by Jim Coe if I knew of a script for creating a pair of cameras for rendering stereo images in Vue. I didn’t but writing one wasn’t particularly difficult.
