Three Scripts Night
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Tonight 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, 2009I 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, 2009I’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, 2009After 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 Python Script for Vue
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009I’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.

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.
