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.
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.
Vue Cloud Tutorial Night
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009I’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, 2009This 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, 2009I’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 […]
