RealFlow into Vue Experiments
Saturday, August 12th, 2006I’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 […]
Object Sequence Loader Python Script for Vue
Sunday, August 6th, 2006A 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 […]
Vue 6 Python?
Thursday, August 3rd, 2006I’ve watched the trailer; I’ve read the web pages; and I’m definitely excited about Vue 6. No word on python support in Vue 6 yet but I’m sure E-on will let us know more as the release approaches.
Pull the other one it has bells on!
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006I won’t be getting the hour back I just spent writing README files for all the Vue Python scripts I’ve put on my site. I wouldn’t have bothered but I started getting some weird e-mails about redistributing the scripts on DVD at my expense. I’ve not seen that scam before and I can’t see many […]
Usual Saturday Stuff
Saturday, July 15th, 2006Not really a lot to report. Usual Saturday stuff recovering from the last week and doing jobs to make the next one go smoothly. Started work on a Python script for Vue that I hope will change the sun’s angles in a scene for a user entered time, date and location. Fingers crossed I’ve worked […]

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006A minor update to last nights scripts to make them more useful (they now allow instances to be deleted) and some basic instructions on using them. Download: ecocsv.zip (5Kbyte Zip Archive) This file includes two python files ecotocsv.py and csvtoeco.py. An ecosystem consists of a number of instances of the objects that make it up. […]
V5I: Eco To CSV / CSV to Eco
Monday, July 3rd, 2006Two free Python script for Vue 5 Infinite tonight. ecotocsv.py saves a selected EcoSystem as a CSV file that can be edited in most spreadsheet packages. The other, csvtoeco.py, loads the edited csv file back into Vue modifying the instances with any changes you made in the CSV. Download: ecocsv.zip (3Kbyte Zip Archive)
V5I: Bifurcated Lava Flow
Thursday, June 29th, 2006An updated version of this article is now available on my website at Creating a Bifurcated Lava Flow in Vue Infinite. After more experimentation I’ve finally achieved a Bifurcated Lava Flow in Vue 5 Infinite that I’m happy with. To make this I first looked at some maps of Bifurcated flows. I then drew a […]
V5I: EcoSystem to Objects Python Script
Thursday, June 29th, 2006A little python script that will place a cube at the same location as each instance in an EcoSystem. It gives each cube the same rotation as the instance. It also scales it by the same scale factor in each direction as the instance. There is an additional parameter to allow the scaling to be […]
Vue Python for Beginners Updated
Tuesday, June 27th, 2006I’ve spent the evening updating my Vue Python for Beginners tutorial. What started as a few minor tweaks turned into a major reorganisation but hopefully it was worth the effort.
