Vue Replicate Scale Equal Steps Script

Monday, January 7th, 2008

This Python script for Vue Infinite can be run to equalise (or equalize for all my American readers) the scaling of replicated objects. First you replicate an object in the usual way in Vue (Using Edit -> Replicate) and then you run this script. If you applied a scale to any of the dimensions it […]

Vue Lighting Rig #12: Modern Christmas Lights

Monday, December 17th, 2007

This week’s Vue Lighting Rig is less of a rig and more of a way of achieving a Christmas light effect. Looking at the Christmas lights in Liverpool I noticed several invisible Christmas trees. I’m sure these are popping up all over the country. You see lights in the shape of a tree but no […]

Tonight I have mostly been playing with…

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Tonight I have mostly been playing with the php5, the Zend Framework and the Gdata API. Nothing to show yet because I’m getting to grips with it although the impworks web site is now entirely php5 driven. Although thats not really very impressive as all I did was change a htaccess file so the php […]

Mysterious World (Wide Web)

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

I posted this snowflake picture on my impworks web site ages ago. It normally gets a few visitors a week but nothing to blog about. A few weeks ago it started getting more and more visitors every day. Obviously it’s seasonal but that page doesn’t have great page rank in google or a high position […]

Vue Lighting Rig #11: The Godspot

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Tonights rig, the Godspot, can be used to evoke the presence of God, that a deity is observing the scene, that, to […]

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Having previously looked at Mambo today I found myself looking at Joomla which is so similar it might almost be the same but somehow in the end tastes slightly different. I can think of only one word to describe the difference based on a very quick look at each – Joomla felt cleaner. Which has […]

Vue Lighting Rig #10: Three Spot Lights

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Last weeks entry in my ongoing series of theatrically inspired Vue lighting rigs is one of the most commonly used rigs: Two Spotlights from the Front. Tonight’s rig is an improved version of that rig which adds a third light behind the actor to add a little back light. During the development of theatrical lighting […]
