XFrog animation in Vue 6 Infinite
Friday, December 15th, 2006After a little modification and a repeat of the 3 hour render here is the test animation from XFrog 3.5 Full into Vue 6 Infinite using the completely rewritten object import script. It’s one of the animated objects supplied with XFrog. Still not 100% perfect as the objects’ positions wanders a little. However I think […]

Object Loader Script are Almost Done
Saturday, December 9th, 2006Finished the new version of the object sequence loader script, almost an entire ground up rewrite of the code. I’m going to spend a while testing it but it does now load numbered sequences of files and has features to load Realflow and Xfrog 3 Full animations. Hopefully no problems will appear during testing and […]
Virtual Fashion Updated
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006Tonight I’ve been updating software. Several bits of software wanted updates applied all at once. One in particular was frustrating because its update demanded I update video drivers which in turn demanded I install some optional windows updates. All told it took over an hour. Then when running the original software it complained about the […]

Friday, December 1st, 2006[I’ve added an updated version of this tutorial to my site: Punching Holes in the Sky] Controlling Godrays in Vue 6 Sunbeams, called Godrays by e-on, are one of the new features in Vue 6. They appear when heavy clouds break up the light coming from the sun light source. The atmosphere must be a […]

One Frame Forward Two Frames Back
Sunday, November 26th, 2006Importing sequences of 3d objects is proving to be something of a challenge. First the sequences of objects themselves are somewhat like small children that don’t like to play nicely with each other. The technique that looked like it had a real chance of running has revealed some interesting difficulties. Hopefully I’ll find a way […]
It's Alive!
Saturday, November 25th, 2006Well animated at least. After trying a variety of methods to achieve animation in Vue python scripts I think I may well have found a way to achieve a satisfactory result for imported files. Now I need to refine the script to cope with all the nasty things I can think of that people will […]
EcoSystem to CSV / CSV to EcoSystem
Friday, November 24th, 2006EcoSystem to CSV / CSV to EcoSystem, the last of the Vue Python scripts on the impworks site, have now been cleared as working and so I’ve added a page for it and updated the zip file. That frees me up to concentrate on new work. First on the list will be the revamped object […]
