I’ve been meaning to write some tutorials on writing Vue’s Python for awhile.  The obvious place to start would be with some basic stuff.  I will get to some of those eventually.  First though one is a short tutorial on Vue’s GetFirstHitObject.  I get more Emails about this than any other function.  Hopefully this will help solve some of those.

I’d love to know what you think of this tutorial.  Is there enough detail?  Would you like more examples?  Does it need an exercise to go with it?  Is it clear enough?  Is there anything else you’d like to know?

It’s that day of the week again.  Here is my 8th updated Vue lighting rig which this week uses two lights shining horizontally on a figure.

Here is the now regular update for a Tuesday of one of my old Vue lighting rigs: tonight’s features Spotlights at 45 degrees from the Front and Back.

I’ve just posted my latest revised theatrical lighting rig tutorial for Vue… Two Spots 45 Degrees From the Side.

I’ve just posted my latest revised theatrical lighting rig tutorial for Vue… Two Spots Slightly to the Side.

I’ve posted the third revised lighting tutorial tonight ~ Single Spot Slightly Behind.

I’ve updated the second of my old theatrical lighting rig tutorials tonight: Vue Lighting Rig: Single Spot Slightly to One Side with fresh renders and some small revisions to the text.

Three years ago I ran a series of posts on my blog of different lighting rigs for use with Vue, mostly based on simple theatrical rigs.  I’m in the process of updating them with new renders and creating pages in my site for them.  The first one is now available Single Spot Overhead.  I’m also going to (when I get time) add some more rigs.

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 latest 3 pages added or updated to the section.

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