Vue Lighting Rigs
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Three years ago I ran a series of posts on my blog of different lighting rigs for use with Vue, mostly based on simple theatrical rigs. I’m in the process of updating them with new renders and creating pages in my site for them. The first one is now available Single Spot Overhead. I’m also […]
Nicer Python Display: The Results are In
Friday, July 30th, 2010Thanks to everyone who voted on my Nicer Python Display poll. I’ll start looking at updating all of the python script pages on my site to use the new, improved formatting. [poll id=”3″ type=”result”]
Nicer Python Display
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I’ve wanted to improve the display of the code for my Vue python scripts here for quite awhile but I was never entirely happy with the code highlighters I’d tried. I’ve installed and fiddled with a new one tonight and I think I like it but since its really for you (well at least if […]
Scaling Objects to Help making Vue Scenes
Monday, June 21st, 2010I’ve been exchanging emails with Paul, a Vue user, who was having difficulty visualising how big objects should be in Vue. He uses real world measurements but his pictures didn’t look right because he was struggling to get the objects to be the right size and making the distances between them realistic. That was messing […]
Rotating Star Field II
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Last week I posted a Rotating Star Field. I’ve enhanced the script that builds the Vue scene from the star data to approximate the colour of the stars from their spectra and to size them relative to each other too. Unfortunately the high quality, uncompressed render comes in at about 1.2GB and I’ve yet to […]
Rotating Star Field
Sunday, January 17th, 2010A tweet last night took me to a site that linked to another The Astronomy Nexus which had a handy csv file of astronomical data. The CSV includes all stars in Hipparcos or closer than 50 parsecs to us. Thats almost 120,000 stars. I knocked together a quick script to import the data into Vue […]
Tree Gobos
Sunday, November 29th, 2009I’ve added a set of 10 leafless, winter tree gel materials for Vue to my free stuff pages today. Tested in Vue 7 Pioneer, Vue 7.5 Infinite and Vue 8 Infinite.
Videos now on YouTube
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Various test animations I’ve made are now on the impworks YouTube channel. I’ve been back to the posts they come from and added the embeded videos in. One day I may make a video that lasts a little bit longer than these tiny little things do.
New Vue Free Stuff Pages
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009I don’t have a lot of Vue free stuff other than my python scripts but I’ve started a new section tonight to make it easier to find without digging through the blog.
Film Noir Desk
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009This is my first Vue 8 Infinite render made as part of a tutorial about linear light sources for Vue I’m working on. The majority of the scene is the Film Noir Detective Office but the desk lamp is my first model made with Moments of Inspiration.
