The Gothic Castle Test Render
Friday, September 11th, 2009A quick test render I just finished of The Gothic Castle from Cornucopia 3D’s which I picked up last night. I tweaked the wall material to make it darker and the glass materials to make them illuminated. I also played a bit with the atmosphere for effect. I darkened up the final render using Vue’s […]
Three Scripts Night
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Tonight I’ve made a couple of minor updates on Add Material Layer for a bug. I’ve also put out a new python script to save a sequence of selected objects from Vue.

How many Your Sinclairs for Grand Theft Auto IV?
Friday, August 28th, 2009DanDiplo commented on Grand Theft Auto IV being 14.9GB installed on Twitter tonight and threw away the rhetorical question how long would the listing be in Your Sinclair. Unfortunately I had the back of an envelope and the Internet to hand… Update: I spotted a couple of obvious mistake myself: Grand Theft Auto is 32 […]
