Tree Gobos

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I’ve added a set of 10 leafless, winter tree gel materials for Vue to my free stuff pages today. Tested in Vue 7 Pioneer, Vue 7.5 Infinite and Vue 8 Infinite.

Film Noir Desk

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

This is my first Vue 8 Infinite render made as part of a tutorial about linear light sources for Vue I’m working on. The majority of the scene is the Film Noir Detective Office but the desk lamp is my first model made with Moments of Inspiration.

Vue Cloud Tutorial Night

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I’ve added pages for two of the Vue tutorials that were previously lost in my blog to my tutorial pages tonight: Cloud Layer Sculpting in Vue Punching Holes in the Sky I’ve also changed the rather empty front page of my Vue section to include the latest post from the Vue News Blog and the […]

Striped Lighting Gels for Vue

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

This is the first set of ten, free, lighting gels materials with a theme of stripes for use with Vue 7 and above. These arn’t neat, uniform stripes.  Some are quite gentle wavy lines while some are broken up at varied angles. I’ve created this set from scans of slides I made for the Kaffeine […]

Updated Add Material Layer Scripts

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’ve just uploaded version 0.4 of my python scripts for Vue that add material layers to all the materials in a scene. This release includes a new script which adds a material layer at the top of the list of layers so long as the material doesn’t include any nodes attached to the Transparency output […]

The Gothic Castle Test Render

Friday, September 11th, 2009

A quick test render I just finished of The Gothic Castle from Cornucopia 3D’s which I picked up last night. I tweaked the wall material to make it darker and the glass materials to make them illuminated. I also played a bit with the atmosphere for effect. I darkened up the final render using Vue’s […]

Add Material Layers Updated

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I’ve updated the Add Material Layers python script for Vue I released last week and added a second script. The original script added the layer at the bottom of all the layers. The new script adds a layer at the top.

Updated Save and Load Camera Animation Scripts

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

After a request for improved features from Vladimir Chopine I’ve updated my Save and Load camera animation python scripts for Vue to cover more than just position and rotation. They now handle Depth of Field, Exposure, Focal Length, Focus Distance, Lens Aberration, Horizontal Film Shift and Vertical Film Shift. They should work with both animated […]

I’ve made a short tutorial video which hopefully demonstrates how to edit the addlayertoall.py python script for Vue

impworks Twitter Background

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I decided to have a go at making a twitter background using Vue on Sunday night for my Twitter page. After making a series of quick test renders using preview mode to test in Twitter I settled on the layout above which echoes the skyscraper image on the impworks web site. The render at 1800 by 800 pixels took just over an hour to run with custom settings in Vue 7.5 Infinite. I did a little bit of colour correction in Photoshop Elements and then saved it out for the web.
