Vue Stereo Image Camera Creation Script
Sunday, August 16th, 2009This python script creates a pair of cameras for rendering stereo images in Vue. It’s pretty easy to do without the script but this just speeds things up a bit. Christina has two tutorials about making stereo camera’s on her web site. Its a basic solution that doesn’t generate an animated camera and it won’t work with cameras that aren’t flat and level.

It’s Trek Jim – Just as we Know It
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
But maybe there was a twist of something in the Romulan Ale.
I was pretty happy with J.J. Abrams take on Mission Impossible so I had high hopes for the new Star Trek film. I think I can safely say it didn’t disappoint. The cast played the characters rather than doing impressions of the original actors playing the characters. The effects were impressive. There were lots of nice touches for the fans without making it impenetrable for anyone who hasn’t watched all the gazillian hours of TV series and films plus read the various technical manuals. The plot made sense, which is always a plus point, even though it involved time travel.
It’s late so I’m going to leave it at that. Excellent film.
Update: Dark Dwarf has posted his impressions of Star Trek.

Spooks won’t be Winning…
Monday, November 10th, 2008…Great British Menu. Microwaving a land mine might be an original way to diffuse it (and inverts the microwave as bomb from Under Siege) – unfortunately it was a dastardly French landmine so it would fail the test of being regional. Not sure if it would count as seasonal either. The Bondish technobable element (like the localised EMP last series when a few well disguised tire bursters would have done the job just as well) crept in again – a bit of a shame since they could have just skipped it and then tracked the snatch car using a technobable CCTV / car number plate tracking system.

Sharpe’s Peril
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008There are few things that lure me to watch ITV and few things that lure me to costume drama. I missed the original Sharpe’s and only discovered them as a bright spot on day time television when I was sick a few years ago. So I’m very pleased that the latest episode Sharpe’s Peril was up to the usual standards tonight and I’m looking forward to next weeks conclusion.
Now if someone could persuade Ioan Gruffudd back to play Hornblower again I’d be really happy.
