PHP Smarty Templates

Monday, September 4th, 2006

I’ve been wanting to start using Smarty Templates with PHP for a while. Finally got to today. I suspect in a few months I’ll wonder how I ever coded PHP without them.

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 […]

phpFreeChat

Friday, July 7th, 2006

I needed to get a chat room set up in a hurry for a project today (technically now yesterday because I’m late posting). After a bit of research (ok Google and a few script listing sites) I settled on phpFreeChat. A short time later I had it up and running. I think the FTP to […]

One Hundred and Fifty First Post

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

By my count this is 151 posts. I still haven’t released my new website but I’ve only 1 page left to go before I can release it into the wild so maybe tomorrow, if I don’t melt overnight, I let it loose. Other than the heat a good day. Chores done. Shopping done. Tomorrow should […]

V5I: Mill in Fog Take 2

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Left my PC on overnight rendering a new version of animated fog made with VueDynamics. Increased the number of sheres from 400 to 600 and added a drift from left to right to the random walk animation with spin on the spheres. Also tried a heavier standard Vue fog in the atmosphere to fade the […]

V5I: Animated Fog

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Here is my first stab at animated fog using VueDynamics. 400 spheres with a transmap texture and a random walk animation with spin. Mill in the Fog Animation (500KBytes DivX format) The mill is from the Fairytale Places set from Daz.

V5I: Exploding VOB

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

I was sat on the bus coming back from doing my usual Saturday shopping and I was wondering if there was any way I can share VueDynamic with Vue users who don’t have Vue 5 Infinite. One possibility is to generate pre animated VOB files. So as an experiment I’ve made two simple shrapnel explosions […]

Not the Foggiest

Friday, May 19th, 2006

I’ve been playing around with an animation of a camera moving past the Mill in the Fairytale Places set from Daz. I’ve not got a finished animation to show off but I did do a simple picture of it that shows off the fog effect I’ve been working on quite well I think. Once I’ve […]

V5I: VueDynamic 0.2

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Note: VueDynamics is no longer available. Edit: See http://www.impworks.co.uk/vue/vuedynamics.php for the latest bug fixed version. I’ve just put uploaded a new version of the VueDynamic script, VueDynamics0_2.zip. Version 0.2 includes two new options for how starting forces are applied (horizontal explosive and 3d explosive. There are also new options to add a variety of rotation […]

V5I: Camera Animation Save and Load

Friday, May 12th, 2006

This one caught me out by being more difficult to get working than I expected when I volunteered myself to write it… Anyway a pair of little scripts savecameradata.py and loadcameradata.py hopefully they will make a certain amount of sense but given the late hour I’m not going to explain them now. Available in a […]
