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 […]

Pull the other one it has bells on!

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

I 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, 2006

Not 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 […]

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 […]

V5I: Using Eco To CSV / CSV to Eco

A 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. […]

Two 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.

V5I: Bifurcated Lava Flow

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

An 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, 2006

A 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 […]

New Pages

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

Even with a two hour interuption for football I’ve added two new pages to the impworks site tonight: one for VueDynamics and a contact form on the contacts page. Despite my best efforts in the limited remaining time tonight I have yet to succeed in Bifurcating my virtual lava flow.

V5I: Progressive Drop Python Script

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

I wanted to create a heap of objects for a picture today but Vue’s drop puts all the selected objects on the same level. I could have selected and dropped each one by hand but that would have been laborious and I was feeling lazy so I created a Python script to do the hard […]
