Things Going Boom in Vue 5 Infinite

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

A day later than I’d planned but here are the animations made using Vue 5 Infinite and the VueDynamics script of a space ship (From Power Fusion 3D) exploding for no good reason other than I could make Things Go Boom. The first animation is the render from Vue. The second has been enhanced with […]

Note: VueDynamics is no longer available. Edit: See http://www.impworks.co.uk/vue/vuedynamics.php for the latest bug fixed version. I’ve just put uploaded a new version of the VueDynamic script, VueDynamics0_2.zip. Version 0.2 includes two new options for how starting forces are applied (horizontal explosive and 3d explosive. There are also new options to add a variety of rotation […]

V5I: Camera Animation Save and Load

Friday, May 12th, 2006

This one caught me out by being more difficult to get working than I expected when I volunteered myself to write it… Anyway a pair of little scripts savecameradata.py and loadcameradata.py hopefully they will make a certain amount of sense but given the late hour I’m not going to explain them now. Available in a […]

V5I: VueDynamics Script Poll

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

I’m looking at what features to add to VueDynamics next. Here are four that I’m thinking about so vote now for the one you’d like to see the most. If your wondering what’s happened to shrink/grow and spin from the last vote… their already in the next release. Update: The poll service I used for […]

V5I: Centre Finder

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

While working on a picture I realised I needed to find the centre of a set of objects. I could have calculated that by hand but I decided to go for the easy option and create a little Python script. If you’d like a copy you can download Centre Finder.

V5I: VueDynamics Script

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

Note: Vue Dynamics is no longer available. A script for Vue 5 Infinite that can create a number of animation effects for selected objects. The script can be downloaded from VueDynamics.zip I’ve made two quick demonstration animations: 100 Spheres Walking Randomly 100 Spheres with random upward movement affected by gravity The simulation uses simple Newtonian […]

Sunset Pictures

Friday, May 5th, 2006

This first picture was my entry in the Renderosity Vue forum’s April challenge. The second was the first version of it I did. Pretty much the same scene but the change to the lighting and atmosphere really changes the final image. Looking at them side by side I’m not sure which one I prefer. Both […]

Vue Python for Beginners

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

An updated version of this article is now available on my website at http://www.impworks.co.uk/vue/vuepythonforbeginners.php. Tonight, by special request, a short introduction to using Vue and Python for beginners. What is Python “Python is the industry standard, cross-platform, object-oriented application scripting language. It is both sufficiently easy to use and powerful to let you develop complex […]

V5I: Dynamics Script Poll

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

I played around with the code for the random walk script for Vue 5 Infinite last night and came to the conclusion that it’s quite straightforward to add some basic extra animation features to it. Rather than just race off in whatever direction I feel like I thought I’d run a poll for a few […]
