Vue Lighting Rig #2: Single Spot Slightly to One Side
Monday, October 8th, 2007This second of my lighting rigs for Vue and another really snappy title following on from last weeks Vue Lighting Rig #1: Single Spot Overhead. This week the point light has been moved slightly to one side and angled so it shines on the figure including both the top of their head and the bottom […]

How are News Stories can be Like Buses…
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007… you wait for ages and then three come along at once. Things had been quiet on the Vue News Blog for a few days. Then three stories came along this morning and the Cornucopia 3D sale that I forgot was starting yesterday too.
Vue Lighting Rig #1: Single Spot Overhead
Monday, October 1st, 2007A new and hopefully fairly regular feature for Too Many Ideas – lighting rig ideas for use with Vue. I’m going to kick off with a series of rigs inspired by theatrical lighting. Tonights rig is one of the simplest: a single spot light directly above a figure.

The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother
Saturday, September 29th, 2007"The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother" came in at almost four thousand words. I’ve done a first polish to bring it down to just under three and a half thousand so it’s the right length for Astonishing Adventures Magazine. It’s a sequel of sorts to "The Electron Jockey". I’m a month […]
So near I can almost touch it…

Paper House for Gamers Updated
Monday, September 24th, 2007A month ago I posted a beta version of a simple models house for wargamers and role players.

I’ve posted the first of the PDFs this morning […]

More impworks Twiddles and Updates
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007Following on from last nights fiddling round with my impworks site I’ve been playing around with the site code some more and I’ve added a new page to the Words section for Astonishing Adventures Magazine. I’m not 100% happy with the layout of the page yet so I guess I’ll be playing round with the […]
impworks Twiddle and Updates
Monday, September 10th, 2007I’ve made a few updates to the impworks web site tonight. Mostly little tweaks to the html for links. One to hopefully reduce the number of spam link submissions for the Vue links directory by setting the rel attribute to nofollow for many (but not all) of the links. I’ve also added titles to most […]
