Vue Cloud Tutorial Night

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I’ve added pages for two of the Vue tutorials that were previously lost in my blog to my tutorial pages tonight: Cloud Layer Sculpting in Vue Punching Holes in the Sky I’ve also changed the rather empty front page of my Vue section to include the latest post from the Vue News Blog and the […]

Striped Lighting Gels for Vue

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

This is the first set of ten, free, lighting gels materials with a theme of stripes for use with Vue 7 and above. These arn’t neat, uniform stripes.  Some are quite gentle wavy lines while some are broken up at varied angles. I’ve created this set from scans of slides I made for the Kaffeine […]

Updated Add Material Layer Scripts

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’ve just uploaded version 0.4 of my python scripts for Vue that add material layers to all the materials in a scene. This release includes a new script which adds a material layer at the top of the list of layers so long as the material doesn’t include any nodes attached to the Transparency output […]

Fairy Tale Castle

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Another quick test render of the I just finished of The Gothic Castle from Cornucopia 3D’s. Having gone all dark and gloomy last time I’ve gone for the opposite extreme: lightening the materials, a bright atmosphere with a low cloud layer and a hundred low power point lights scattered invisibly round the castle to light […]

The Gothic Castle Test Render

Friday, September 11th, 2009

A 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 […]

Tonight 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.

Object Sequence Loader Page

Monday, September 7th, 2009

I thought I’d made a page for every Vue python script but I discovered I’d missed one for the Object Sequence Loader.  So I’ve rectified that tonight just in time to watch The Wire.

Add Material Layers Updated

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I’ve updated the Add Material Layers python script for Vue I released last week and added a second script. The original script added the layer at the bottom of all the layers. The new script adds a layer at the top.

Updated Save and Load Camera Animation Scripts

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

After a request for improved features from Vladimir Chopine I’ve updated my Save and Load camera animation python scripts for Vue to cover more than just position and rotation. They now handle Depth of Field, Exposure, Focal Length, Focus Distance, Lens Aberration, Horizontal Film Shift and Vertical Film Shift. They should work with both animated […]
