V5I: Animated Fog

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Here is my first stab at animated fog using VueDynamics. 400 spheres with a transmap texture and a random walk animation with spin. Mill in the Fog Animation (500KBytes DivX format) The mill is from the Fairytale Places set from Daz.

V5I: VueDynamic 0.2.1

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I’ve just put uploaded a minor update new version of the VueDynamic script, VueDynamics0_2_1.zip. Version 0.2.1 . It fixes a problem I found with a starting frame set to anything other than 0 resulting in weird animation of objects between frame zero and the first frame of the effect being applied If you need help […]

V5I: Exploding VOB

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

I was sat on the bus coming back from doing my usual Saturday shopping and I was wondering if there was any way I can share VueDynamic with Vue users who don’t have Vue 5 Infinite. One possibility is to generate pre animated VOB files. So as an experiment I’ve made two simple shrapnel explosions […]

Not the Foggiest

Friday, May 19th, 2006

I’ve been playing around with an animation of a camera moving past the Mill in the Fairytale Places set from Daz. I’ve not got a finished animation to show off but I did do a simple picture of it that shows off the fog effect I’ve been working on quite well I think. Once I’ve […]

Arædan Draft 2 Done

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I wrote the missing fight scene. Which turned out to be a lot of dialogue so it may need rewriting in the third draft. I’m going to pass copies to a few friends now to see what they think. I’ve also decided to cut the accents off the name so it’s easier to figure out […]

V5I: Camera Animation Save and Load Updated

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

FuzzyVizion discovered a problem with the Vue Camera Animation Save and Load script I wrote. I’ve updated the Load script so that by default it creates a new camera (which you can choose a name for). Both scripts come in a small zip file – Camera Animation Save and Load.

Dull Website Stuff

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

I know. I know. Anyone who has ready this for any length of time knows I’m trying to finish my new website so I can launch it on the unsuspecting world. I spent the last two hours fighting with the content trying to make my About Me page not too serious but not too silly […]

Things Going Boom in Vue 5 Infinite

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

A day later than I’d planned but here are the animations made using Vue 5 Infinite and the VueDynamics script of a space ship (From Power Fusion 3D) exploding for no good reason other than I could make Things Go Boom. The first animation is the render from Vue. The second has been enhanced with […]

V5I: VueDynamic 0.2

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Note: VueDynamics is no longer available. Edit: See http://www.impworks.co.uk/vue/vuedynamics.php for the latest bug fixed version. I’ve just put uploaded a new version of the VueDynamic script, VueDynamics0_2.zip. Version 0.2 includes two new options for how starting forces are applied (horizontal explosive and 3d explosive. There are also new options to add a variety of rotation […]

V5I: Camera Animation Save and Load

Friday, May 12th, 2006

This one caught me out by being more difficult to get working than I expected when I volunteered myself to write it… Anyway a pair of little scripts savecameradata.py and loadcameradata.py hopefully they will make a certain amount of sense but given the late hour I’m not going to explain them now. Available in a […]
