Bit Windy
Thursday, January 18th, 2007The wind made a pretty good go at ripping stuff off the building I work in today. It got a canopy and the bike shed. When I left the flag pole was still on top of the building. A tree in the park had come down as I walked home and some of the shops […]
STEEPVM Worksheet
Thursday, January 18th, 2007Tonight’s continuation of the STEEPVM series of articles is a simple work sheet to help work using the STEEPVM technique from the past few Wednesday’s articles. Next week in the final part I’ll use the work sheet for a worked example from a real project I’m working on at the moment. STEEPVM Worksheet
EcoSystem to Object enhanced for Vue 6
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007I’ve just added a few little enhancements to my EcoSystem to Object script. It now asks for a few simple choices when it is run rather than needing the script to be edited. You can now choose what Vue primitive it will put at the EcoSystem instances location. You can also select to have the […]
Offensive Phrases of the Day
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Nothing to do with Big Brother. Sometimes I get a little tired of people trying to split the technical and imaginative sides of creating things up. They put down the technical aspects with phases like Gear Head or Techie as though the true artist has no need for such "distractions". They need to look up […]
Making Clothes for Michael
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been teaching myself how to make poser clothing. Mostly I’ve been using Virtual Fashion 1.5 Pro and Poser dynamic cloth. The down side of which is the time to make the simulations and the simulation failures. When it fails the simulations vary from the annoying to the farcical. The […]

Ragnarok 51
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Raganrok issue 51, John Wilson’s first as editor, came through my door this morning. A very good read it looks to be too.
Will Auteur Brands destroy the Big Broadcasters?
Saturday, January 13th, 2007This line of thinking was kicked off by John Rogers‘ blog post 4GM: Nobody gets Rich, Everybody Gets Paid and some of the comments on it. The Auteur Brand has a long tradition in our society. Far older than those names. The cult of personality around creative people goes back to the emergence of the […]
Vue Picture: Ardent Veridian
Friday, January 12th, 2007A render using atmospheres and plants from Linda Daireaux’s Incredibly Lush Tropical Paradise. The ecosystem covering the island is a modified version of one that came in the pack. I moved the palms into a separate layer with altitude dependant distribution because they didn’t look right when they were breaking the lines of the mountains […]
STEEPVM Tips
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007Add factors wherever they seem to fit in best. If they might fit into multiple categories put it in them all. In some situations you may want to carry out STEEPVM for different regions or organisations that are parts of the same setting. Rearrange the headings to suit your needs on the worksheet. If the […]
