Are they trying to tell me something? Or is Life Complicated?
Saturday, September 15th, 2007There was a letter through my front door this morning addressed to Mr Pizza Lover. Junk mail from Domino’s Pizza (a national chain of pizza shops) announcing their new outlet near here. The leaflet says Save Over £176.37 (the 37p is a nice touch although I’d say rounding it to £176 isn’t going to make […]
Vue Eco Vertical Scatter Python Script
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007LMcLean was looking for a way to vertically scatter instances in a Vue EcoSystem. I realised I could easily adapt the Vue EcoRotate Python Script I wrote a few weeks ago to do it. Here is a quick Vue python script to do this with a simple interface… Vue Eco Vertical Scatter Python Script
Vue Stereo Image Camera Creation Script
Monday, September 3rd, 2007I 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. […]
Miniature Victorian and Edwardian Posters
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007I was digging through past projects looking at the nets I’d designed for paper buildings but never finished off when I came across something I’d actually finished. A sheet of sixty-five Victorian and Edwardian advertising posters resized to fit on to a sheets of mini address labels. They work with Avery Inkjet Labels Code J8651 […]
New Categories Added to Vue Link Directory
Monday, August 27th, 2007I’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. I’ve not finished adding links to them yet (especially free stuff) but I didn’t want to wait to put them live.
Vue EcoRotate Python Script
Saturday, August 25th, 2007There was a question on Cornucopia 3D’s vue python forum about setting all the objects / instances in an EcoSystem to point in a direction possibly with a bit of variation. So here is a quick python script for vue to do just that… Vue EcoRotate Python Script
Paper House Beta 1
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007I 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 […]
Technorati Rank #1!
Saturday, August 4th, 2007All my hard blogging has finally paid off as the Technorati Rank #1! If you can’t make it out in that shot how about this one: The only photoshoping of the images was to crop them. No retouching at all. The last few weeks have been good but this just tops it. I’m going to […]
Thursday Thirteen #21
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007My Thirteen Things this week is for Lori who wanted to know how I change the date. Here are (somewhat more than) thirteen ways to travel in time Mark Caldwell might have used and possibly the real one too… A Police Box (Doctor Who) A Wardrobe (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis) […]
Thursday Thirteen #20
Thursday, July 26th, 2007Thirteen Things Mark Caldwell is listening to/watching/reading in the last week. You’ve Got To Laugh – Nik Kershaw. Arrived this week from Short House Records and in my CD player a lot since then. Includes a warning that it may include traces of irony. Traces? Some might say that alone is ironic. The tunes could […]
