Kodo

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Saw Kodo at the Liverpool Philharmonic and I have to say I had a really good time. I’ve heard their music on CD but it just isn’t the same as feeling the vibration of the big drums run through you. It’s not just about big drums though there were subtler pieces played on shamisen, flute […]

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 Stereo Image Camera Creation Script

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I was asked by Jim Coe if I knew of a script for creating a pair of cameras for rendering stereo images in Vue. I didn’t but writing one wasn’t particularly difficult. It isn’t a complete solution as it won’t generate an animated camera and it won’t work with cameras that aren’t flat and level. […]

Here are 13 posts from the 500 posts by Mark Caldwell about having Too Many Ideas… My First Post which isn’t particularly exciting: Staring at a Blank Page. Favourite picture: A reed […]

Mass Convert 0.5.1 Now with GUI Goodness

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

Here is the first of my Vue Python scripts rewritten to add a proper interface, MassConvert. Although this isn’t the most useful of my scripts, the one with the most downloads, the one with the most requests for changes or my favourite script I’ve done it first. Why? Because this was the script that covered […]

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 […]

Cell Shading Tutorial from Brady Mac

I got a sneak peak at Brady Mac’s new Toon shading tutorial for Poser and Vue this week. It’s a very simple and effective way of bringing the two applications together to produce a different type of image. The picture above is the first one I made following the tutorial after a few quick test […]
