Making Tree on a Hill

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Last weeks picture I made for WW was made entirely in Vue. I started with Vue’s default settings. I began by creating a terrain object. In the terrain editor clicked on the erode button till the default mountain became a smoother hill shape. I resized the terrain to fit the picture I had in mind […]

Vue 6 Keeps Getting Better

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I’ve been playing with a rework of an old picture today trying out a variety of Vue 6 features to see if it can be improved. There was a lot of sky in the old picture and using a spectral atmosphere really helps. There was a big expanse of water too. It was rather dull […]

Wordless Wednesday #3

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

After a couple of e-mail requests I’ve posted an explanation of how I made last weeks WW – Creating the Inventor’s Work Bench. I’ll do the same for today’s picture later this week. My thanks to Bruno Memain for the wonderful atmosphere used in today’s picture. 1. jams o donnell 2. Donna 3. The Twinkies […]

Creating the Inventor's Work Bench

Friday, April 27th, 2007

The picture I used for my Wordless Wednesday this week was made for the latest issue of Ragnarok. Various 3d models were assembled in Vue 6 Infinite but this one could have been made in any version of Vue. I’ll start with the easy bits. The bench itself is a cube with the old wood […]

Ragnarok 52 Cover Illustration

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Here, by popular demand, is a bigger version of the picture that is on the cover of Rag issue 52. I’m a bit embarrassed by it because it was a test that was thrown together in about 20 minutes using Poser 7 and Vue 6 Infinite (although this one could have been made is Vue […]

Ragnarok 52

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Issue 52 of Ragnarok the SFSFW‘s journal of fantasy and science fiction wargaming landed care of the Post Office today. My first Rag cover. It wasn’t a picture I’d done expecting it to be used on the cover but John liked it and wouldn’t let me fiddle with it. I’ve got a couple more illustrations […]

Vue Eruption

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

The 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, 2007

An 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 […]

Thursday Thirteen #5

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

  Thirteen Things from my life in the Last Seven Days by Mark Caldwell It was the last episode of Life on Mars this week. I think it made sense in the end. Sort of. And even though there isn’t going to be anymore it didn’t finish in a way that they couldn’t do any […]
