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 […]

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 […]

Vue 6 Python?

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

I’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.

Vue News Blog

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I got really fed up when searching the web the other night for some information about Vue that I’ve started a new collaborative Blog just to try to collect Vue news. Jim Coe is going to be contributing too. If you would like to help out with an occasional post drop me an e-mail mark@www.impworks.co.uk […]

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 […]

Dark skies fall down into another day

Friday, July 14th, 2006

A picture I’m working on using Vue 5 Infinite. The lighting is more complicated that it looks as the two trees are lit separately from the rest of the scene to make them stand out. The title of the post is two lines from the song by Enya "Storms in Africa Part II".

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. 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, 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 […]
