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 […]

Object Sequence Loader Python Script for Vue

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

A python script for Vue 5 Infinite (it might work in Vue 4 Pro but I haven’t tested it) that loads a sequence of 3d files using each one in turn as the next step in an animation. To use it the script must be placed in the directory containing the files to be imported […]

Not Kim's Eyelashes Either

Friday, August 4th, 2006

I was browsing through some clip art on a Computer Arts Projects cover disc when I came across the slightly odd picture above. It reminded me of the eyelashes that are not Kim’s but that appear as her avatar and on her Romance Fiction web site.

The Creator Archetype This Follows on from: Characters on the Couch (Part 3). The first part can be found at: Characters on the Couch (Part 1). "If it can be imagined, it can be created" These characters have artistic vision and focus on creativity and the imagination. They seek to innovate and craft something new. […]

Virtual Fashion for Poser Settings

Friday, July 28th, 2006

I just got an e-mail asking about the settings I used with Virtual Fashion for Poser to get a cloth simulation that didn’t take days to run as mentioned in my earlier Virtual Fashion for Poser post. In case anyone else was wondering here are the settings I used… The key things I’ve found to […]

Characters on the Couch (Part 3)

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

This Follows on from: Characters on the Couch (Part 2). The first part can be found at: Characters on the Couch (Part 1). The Ruler Archetype "Power isn’t everything. It’s the only thing" These characters seek control, prosperity and positions of leadership. They want to be in charge of their situation. At their best they […]

A little Gaming Experiment

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I’ve just uploaded a little gaming experiment. The same top down view of a 3 oar ship’s longboat at 3 slightly different sizes as a PDF file. Hopefully they are suitable for use by wargamers and role players. I think B is probably the best suited to 25mm figures with A a little small and […]

Google Sitemapped this Blog

Friday, July 21st, 2006

I’ve been using Google Sitemaps on the impworks site for a month. I’d not realised I could use it on a blogger using the atom feed until I was browsing the web earlier. It hardly took any time to do. Log in to Google Sitemaps using your Google account (or sign up first if you […]
