Things Going Boom in Vue 5 Infinite

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

A day later than I’d planned but here are the animations made using Vue 5 Infinite and the VueDynamics script of a space ship (From Power Fusion 3D) exploding for no good reason other than I could make Things Go Boom. The first animation is the render from Vue. The second has been enhanced with […]

Mission Mundane

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

So having gotten my thought on Mission Impossibe (like anyone cares) off my chest here is the rest of my Sunday. Two or maybe three hours spent doing some really boring reading about my pension including House of Commons reports (Dull), company statements (Dull and Unhelpful) and campaign web sites (Biased). Time I’ll never get […]

V5I: Camera Animation Save and Load

Friday, May 12th, 2006

This one caught me out by being more difficult to get working than I expected when I volunteered myself to write it… Anyway a pair of little scripts savecameradata.py and loadcameradata.py hopefully they will make a certain amount of sense but given the late hour I’m not going to explain them now. Available in a […]

I’m looking at what features to add to VueDynamics next. Here are four that I’m thinking about so vote now for the one you’d like to see the most. If your wondering what’s happened to shrink/grow and spin from the last vote… their already in the next release. Update: The poll service I used for […]

V5I: Centre Finder

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

While working on a picture I realised I needed to find the centre of a set of objects. I could have calculated that by hand but I decided to go for the easy option and create a little Python script. If you’d like a copy you can download Centre Finder.

V5I: VueDynamics Script

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

Note: Vue Dynamics is no longer available. A script for Vue 5 Infinite that can create a number of animation effects for selected objects. The script can be downloaded from VueDynamics.zip I’ve made two quick demonstration animations: 100 Spheres Walking Randomly 100 Spheres with random upward movement affected by gravity The simulation uses simple Newtonian […]

Sunset Pictures

Friday, May 5th, 2006

This first picture was my entry in the Renderosity Vue forum’s April challenge. The second was the first version of it I did. Pretty much the same scene but the change to the lighting and atmosphere really changes the final image. Looking at them side by side I’m not sure which one I prefer. Both […]

Bit Warm and I Need a Synonym for Busy

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

It was just a bit warm here today. We had thunderstorms and heavy rain too. I need to find some synonyms for "Busy". Not only did I knock off not one but two drafts of Vue Python for Beginners I also wrangled another 250 words out of the noir fairy story which is coming on […]
