Past Lies
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Three blog posts in a day here and several more on Vue News and Disavowed-1010! I didn’t want to finish today without giving Kim’s new book a proper plug… I’m not going to pretend to be a big reader of romantic fiction. Until I read Kim’s previous story Buying Mackenzie’s Baby I think the last […]
Vue Eruption
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007The picture originally intended for last night’s post about Creating a Bifurcated Lava Flow in Vue Infinite was waiting for me when I got up this morning. Rendered in Vue 6 Infinite and resized for uploading to the web.
Creating a Bifurcated Lava Flow in Vue Infinite
Monday, April 16th, 2007An updated and edited version of my earlier blog post on making a Bifurcated Lava flow in Vue is now available on the impworks web site as Creating a Bifurcated Lava Flow in Vue Infinite. While making an image to go with this I’ve been playing with some of the new tools in Vue 6 […]
Dr Who – Gridlock
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Caught up with last nights Doctor Who which was a cracking episode. A good episode but maybe not as good as the first two because "The Shakespeare Code" and "Smith and Jones" went to more trouble to establish a solution to the problem in the plot rather than The Doctor pluging wire A in to […]
New Vue Python Script: Terrain Matcher
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007Have you ever wanted a plateau on your terrain that a building can stand on or to cut a flat road through a scene? Here is a new Python script for Vue 6 Infinite and Vue 6 xStream to make doing both of those easier. It appeared as a work in progress yesterday (Terrain Sculpting […]
Terrain Sculpting Python Script WIP
Monday, April 9th, 2007Making a terrain for a model to stand on can be a time consuming process in Vue. I know a couple of tricks to make work but I wanted something to make it easier. A python script seemed the obvious answer. I’ve been hacking around with it all weekend. It’s not ready for public release […]
Getting all Medieval with Spreadsheets
Saturday, April 7th, 2007While hunting through my books to pick out my Thursday Thirteen #4 I came across a rather dull title called Medieval Regions and their Cities I picked up really cheap in the Blackwell book shop at Liverpool University. I picked it up in a sale of second hand books it says 50p in pencil inside. […]
Thursday Thirteen #4
Thursday, April 5th, 2007Thirteen Things Reference Books I most use when writing stories (with Amazon links for more information where I could find the book listed) Roget’s Thesaurus: I’ve yet to find a better thesaurus than the one that has evolved through Longman to Penguin. The Story of Western Architecture: More about the history of the development of […]
impworks Web Site Maintenance
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007Just the usual round of boring web site maintenance on my impworkssite tonight, some tweaking on the Vue Squidoo Lens, the Vue Python Squidoo Lens, the Vue google search and my Disavowed-1010 blog. Dull but all neccessary.
A Vue Accident Waiting to Happen
Monday, April 2nd, 2007I was messing around with Vue and Apophysis a free fractal flames generator for Windows. The render is a simple sphere with a texture derived from a single fractal flame applied to it. Just a quick render without a lot of thought about composition but still there is something rather dynamic about the flames.
