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 […]

Three Scripts Night

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

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 […]

Add Material Layer Tutorial Video

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I’ve made a short tutorial video which hopefully demonstrates how to edit the addlayertoall.py python script for Vue

Add Material Layer Python Script for Vue

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I’ve just finished putting together a python script for Vue 7 Infinite or Vue 7 xStream, Esther Carney (estherau on Renderosity) asked for to add a material layer to every material in a Vue scene. It may work with older versions of Vue but I’ve not tested it with anything before Vue 7.5. It not […]

impworks Twitter Background

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I decided to have a go at making a twitter background using Vue on Sunday night for my Twitter page. After making a series of quick test renders using preview mode to test in Twitter I settled on the layout above which echoes the skyscraper image on the impworks web site. The render at 1800 by 800 pixels took just over an hour to run with custom settings in Vue 7.5 Infinite. I did a little bit of colour correction in Photoshop Elements and then saved it out for the web.

More Vue Python Pages and New Scripts

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

I’ve added not one, not two but six new and one revised python scripts for use with Vue tonight. I’ve also really been on the ball and added the pages for them straight away too. There are three entirely new scripts to switch Vue’s Bump Mapping on selected objects: one to make the mapping negative, […]
