Punching Holes in the Sky
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 […]
Heavy Fog in Virtual Venice
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006Just playing with a heavy fog atmosphere in Vue 6 Infinite. The water is a flat plain with a slightly tweaked dark water material added and the bump map turned into a displacement map. The model is the Bridge of Sighs from Cornucopia 3d.
Vue Python Mass File Conversion Script 0.2
Monday, November 27th, 2006A fix for some changes I made to clean up version 0.1 of the script for release that as an unfortunate side effect broke it! For more details and to download version two see my web site: Mass Convert Vue Python Script
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 […]
Vue Python Mass File Conversion Script
Monday, November 20th, 2006A new python script for vue that loads all the 3d files of a specified format from a directory and saves them in another format into a specified directory. Uses Vue to do the conversion (I’ve tested it in vue 6 pre release). It can convert between obj, 3ds, lwo, c4d ,cob, dxf and shd […]
Ivy Close Up
Sunday, November 19th, 2006Glad to answer questions and requests when I’ve got the time Incredibly Lush Ivy Kit especially when it saves me having to come up with something to post on an otherwise pretty dull Saturday. I rendered it against a simple displacement mapped brick wall although not a lot of it is showing through.
Last Nights Vue 6 Render Tonight
Saturday, November 18th, 2006Finally finished the render I’d was going to post last night. Not that it took all day to render. Just couldn’t get it to look anywhere near what I wanted. The ivy is from Linda’s Incredibly Lush Ivy Kit and there are some other plants from her Underbrush pack too. The ruin is a model […]
Object Sequence Vue Python Script Delayed
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006Beta testing on the new version of this script has revealed a problem with the animation method I’m using. It works sometimes. Other times only some of the frames include the object. I’ve got a couple of alternatives to try instead but none of them can be done in a single evening. Hopefully I’ll get […]
