Almost forgot to post
Sunday, May 28th, 2006Almost 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. The code is almost finished, just needs checking, documentation and tidying up a bit. Other than that a quiet day of household chores, a little Civ 4 […]
V5I: Mill in Fog Take 2
Saturday, May 27th, 2006Left 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 […]
How Sinful Am I?
Thursday, May 25th, 2006Your Deadly Sins Envy: 60% Gluttony: 60% Sloth: 40% Greed: 20% Lust: 20% Wrath: 20% Pride: 0% Chance You’ll Go to Hell: 31% You will die at the hands of a jealous lover. How ironic. How Sinful Are You?
Arædan Away
Wednesday, May 24th, 2006I’ve sent Arædan off to a few friends to see what they think. I’m off to hide in a corner now…
Connection Woes
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006I 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: Animated Fog
Monday, May 22nd, 2006Here is my first stab at animated fog using VueDynamics. 400 spheres with a transmap texture and a random walk animation with spin. Mill in the Fog Animation (500KBytes DivX format) The mill is from the Fairytale Places set from Daz.
V5I: VueDynamic 0.2.1
Sunday, May 21st, 2006I’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 […]
Are You Sitting Comfortably Then I'll Begin
Saturday, May 20th, 2006The teaser at the end of tonight’s Doctor Who for next week’s episode, The Idiot’s Lantern, included Maureen Lipman uttering the immortal line from Listen with Mother of "Are you sitting comfortably then I’ll begin". The Doctor used a bit of it at the start of the episode School Reunion. Are they just teasing the […]
V5I: Exploding VOB
Saturday, May 20th, 2006I was sat on the bus coming back from doing my usual Saturday shopping and I was wondering if there was any way I can share VueDynamic with Vue users who don’t have Vue 5 Infinite. One possibility is to generate pre animated VOB files. So as an experiment I’ve made two simple shrapnel explosions […]
Not the Foggiest
Friday, May 19th, 2006I’ve been playing around with an animation of a camera moving past the Mill in the Fairytale Places set from Daz. I’ve not got a finished animation to show off but I did do a simple picture of it that shows off the fog effect I’ve been working on quite well I think. Once I’ve […]
