Spray on EcoSystem a Surprise Hit

Monday, September 25th, 2006

I wasn’t expecting the Spray on EcoSystem python script to be such a big hit. I’ve had more e-mail’s about it than any of the other Vue script so far. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I’m going to take a look at everyone’s suggestions over the next few days and see what I can […]

A new python script for Vue 5 Infinite that coats the outside of an object with an EcoSystem. It won’t cover all faces because of the way it works. It will cover a sphere, cube or cone. For more information read the README file in the zip archive. Spray on EcoSystems for Vue

Pepakura Basics

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Between watching CSI:Miami and one of my favourite West Wing epidsode “The Supremes” on DVD I’ve played a little more with Pepakura designer. Just trying to get to grips with getting workable meshes out of it that have some curvature in the shapes without being too fiddly to assemble. Looking forward to getting some suitable […]

I blogged about Pepakura Designer last Saturday in my imaginatively titled "Pepakura Designer". I got my activation key last night and started messing around with it.

Pepakura Designer

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

Came across a little shareware application that will take simple 3d models and produce a design for a paper mesh of the model. It can read a lot of fairly standard formats like wavefront object (.obj), lightwave (.lwo) and 3d studio (.3ds). It can also read some texture maps too. I’ve not got anything to […]

Vue 5 Infinite Terrain to CSV Script

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I’ve been meaning to have a play with the terrain functions in Vue’s Python. Finally found the time and wrote two scripts that use most of the related features. Two scripts that allow you to work with a terrain by exporting it as a CSV file that can be edited in a spreadsheet and then […]
