Website Wrapped

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

I think that’s everything that had to be done done. Now all I have left to do is swing the domain over and open it up to the world. Then comes the ever present need to add new stuff but I’ll worry about that tomorrow.

A couple of people have said they would like to see a more colourful Roman Candle made using VueDynamics Animation: romancandle3b.avi (509Kbyte DivX)

Fire, Brimstone but No Smoke

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Been trying to build a volcanic eruption in Vue. I’ve managed to get a passable magma burst but smoke is proving somewhat harder to get a nice effect for. It’s rather annoying as in places the smoke looks really good but when it thins out a bit its obvious how its made and the whole […]

V5I: Vue Dynamics 0.3.1

Monday, June 5th, 2006

I’ve just put uploaded a minor update new version of the VueDynamics script, VueDynamics0_3_1.zip. Version 0.3.1 . It fixes a problem I found with particles not being sized properly when they are emitted or recycled. If select an object in your scene and then run the script you will get the a 150 frame roman […]

Non Specific Lethargy

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

I seem to be suffering from a bout of none specific lethargy. As soon as I get it out of my system I’ll post the bug fix for a couple of oddities I’ve found with object sizing with particles in VueDynamics.

Animation: romancandle3.avi (449Kbyte DivX) The roman candle effect is a simple animation produced using Vue 5 Infinite and VueDynamics version 0.3.01 (a new version with a couple of minor improvements I’ll hopefully put out tomorrow once I’ve just done a few last checks that I’ve not added any new bugs). You can pretty much get […]

V5I: Vue Dynamics 0.3 – Now with Added Particles

Monday, May 29th, 2006

I’ve just uploaded the latest version of VueDynamics with added particle emitting capabilities. Particles can be subjected to the same forces as objects could in previous versions. Tha basic Vue objects are available as particles. They can be given a maximum age and set to be destroyed if they pass below infinite plains with the […]

V5I: Mill in Fog Take 2

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Left my PC on overnight rendering a new version of animated fog made with VueDynamics. Increased the number of sheres from 400 to 600 and added a drift from left to right to the random walk animation with spin on the spheres. Also tried a heavier standard Vue fog in the atmosphere to fade the […]
