Vue Python Mass File Conversion Script

Monday, November 20th, 2006

A new python script for vue that loads all the 3d files of a specified format from a directory and saves them in another format into a specified directory. Uses Vue to do the conversion (I’ve tested it in vue 6 pre release). It can convert between obj, 3ds, lwo, c4d ,cob, dxf and shd […]

Ivy Close Up

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Glad to answer questions and requests when I’ve got the time Incredibly Lush Ivy Kit especially when it saves me having to come up with something to post on an otherwise pretty dull Saturday. I rendered it against a simple displacement mapped brick wall although not a lot of it is showing through.

Last Nights Vue 6 Render Tonight

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Finally finished the render I’d was going to post last night. Not that it took all day to render. Just couldn’t get it to look anywhere near what I wanted. The ivy is from Linda’s Incredibly Lush Ivy Kit and there are some other plants from her Underbrush pack too. The ruin is a model […]

Object Sequence Vue Python Script Soon With RealFlow Support

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Spent the day working on my 3d Object Sequence Loader Script for Vue. After some work added in support for loading RealFlow Mesh Object Sequences into Vue. However the supporting web pages and stuff won’t be ready till Monday night. So in the mean time here is a short (3 second) animation that shows off […]

Running Before the Storm

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

After a day spent assembling a rather long questionnaire for a client’s new site I needed a break from typing. I thought I’d have a play with Vue. After half an hour of playing and 12 minutes of rendering I’d knocked the picture out of a ship running into a sheltered bay ahead of a […]

Pepakura Designer

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

Came across a little shareware application that will take simple 3d models and produce a design for a paper mesh of the model. It can read a lot of fairly standard formats like wavefront object (.obj), lightwave (.lwo) and 3d studio (.3ds). It can also read some texture maps too. I’ve not got anything to […]

Vue 5 Infinite Terrain to CSV Script

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I’ve been meaning to have a play with the terrain functions in Vue’s Python. Finally found the time and wrote two scripts that use most of the related features. Two scripts that allow you to work with a terrain by exporting it as a CSV file that can be edited in a spreadsheet and then […]

RealFlow into Vue Experiments

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

I’d been playing with importing sequences of wavefront object files as a way of bringing animations into Vue from other applications. Yesterday someone asked about importing a sequence from RealFlow. Fortunately I have a none commercial use copy of RealFlow that came on a cover disc a while ago. So I’ve been trying to get […]

Unnamed Vue Picture

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

I’d left Vue rendering this one today while I was at work. While it originally estimated 15 hours for the print size size image it turned out to need less than 5 in the end. I don’t normally use global radiosity but I did with this picture for a change. It made the roadside bushes […]
