50 Links Done
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007Well I didn’t plan on doing 50 links tonight but the Vue link directory now has fifty in it.
impworks Link Section Coming Soon
Monday, January 22nd, 2007I spent several annoying hours today trying to find free link directory scripts for my impworks site that worked with smarty templates. After a couple of wasted hours of downloading and trying out scripts I decided it would be quicker to code something up myself. Now I’ve got the basic MySQL, PHP and smarty templates […]
Gurgel
Friday, January 19th, 2007Well after much fiddling I’ve produced my first complete dynamic cloth garment for Poser. Originally shaped in Virtual Fashion I textured it in Deep Paint 3D and Paint Shop Pro before taking it into Poser where I ran a simple cloth simulation so it has a bit more of a drape to it. Finally rendered […]
STEEPVM Worksheet
Thursday, January 18th, 2007Tonight’s continuation of the STEEPVM series of articles is a simple work sheet to help work using the STEEPVM technique from the past few Wednesday’s articles. Next week in the final part I’ll use the work sheet for a worked example from a real project I’m working on at the moment. STEEPVM Worksheet
EcoSystem to Object enhanced for Vue 6
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007I’ve just added a few little enhancements to my EcoSystem to Object script. It now asks for a few simple choices when it is run rather than needing the script to be edited. You can now choose what Vue primitive it will put at the EcoSystem instances location. You can also select to have the […]
Making Clothes for Michael
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been teaching myself how to make poser clothing. Mostly I’ve been using Virtual Fashion 1.5 Pro and Poser dynamic cloth. The down side of which is the time to make the simulations and the simulation failures. When it fails the simulations vary from the annoying to the farcical. The […]
Ragnarok 51
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Raganrok issue 51, John Wilson’s first as editor, came through my door this morning. A very good read it looks to be too.
Vue Picture: Ardent Veridian
Friday, January 12th, 2007A render using atmospheres and plants from Linda Daireaux’s Incredibly Lush Tropical Paradise. The ecosystem covering the island is a modified version of one that came in the pack. I moved the palms into a separate layer with altitude dependant distribution because they didn’t look right when they were breaking the lines of the mountains […]
STEEPVM Tips
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007Add factors wherever they seem to fit in best. If they might fit into multiple categories put it in them all. In some situations you may want to carry out STEEPVM for different regions or organisations that are parts of the same setting. Rearrange the headings to suit your needs on the worksheet. If the […]
Sometimes You Just Need to Let an Idea Stew
Monday, January 8th, 2007I was reminded by the problems at Little Chef of a discussion I had with a friend over ten years ago inspired by a rather battered Little Chef map. The last few days I’ve been working on the project that has sat on the hard drive of two computers untouched for so long. I’m glad […]
