Vue Stereo Image Camera Creation Script

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I was asked by Jim Coe if I knew of a script for creating a pair of cameras for rendering stereo images in Vue. I didn’t but writing one wasn’t particularly difficult. It isn’t a complete solution as it won’t generate an animated camera and it won’t work with cameras that aren’t flat and level. […]

I’ve had some requests for new categories in the Vue link directory on the impworks site. I got round to adding them today including vue training, vue books, vue merchants and vue free stuff.

Friday, August 24th, 2007

She sleeps, bosom slowly heaving. Moonlight casts a strange hue through swirling curtains. From nowhere the irregular shade comes to brush her hair aside. Her neck revealed. Pale skin greets sharp ivory teeth. She is his.

Paper House Beta 1

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I started work on a set of simple, cardboard building models using pepakura originally for Serious and Organised but which, like Serious and Organised, I’ve yet to finish. A discussion on the SFSFW mailing list kicked me into finishing a simple one of a house. It can either be used as a single, semi-detached house […]
