Thread: Anyone else had/noticed this? | Forum: Vue

Yes, its a real effect, and I can't track down the sequence which causes it. It happens about one third of the time to me. It causes no apparent problems.

Thread: Replicate Saturn's Rings? | Forum: Vue

It would certainly be possible to use a photo of saturn's rings to paper a disc in Vue - but I'm intrigued... has any probe been in a position to take such a picture, perpendicularly above the rings? If such an image exists, you could generate the transparency map from this image in a bitmap editor, inverting the image to make the dark bits light and vice-versa. In the absence of such an image, taking a good oblique image of the rings, a bit of time in a good bitmap editor should allow you to fake the perpendicular image well.

Thread: Planet Rings | Forum: Vue

zoon ( ) posted Mon, 27 August 2001 at 7:35 AM

Ok, its a Vue 3.1 material, so I can't send it to you. First, the rings are a cylinder, squashed flat, to make a disc with a slight thickness. This is then cut with another cylinder using CSG boolean difference to make the hole. Now you have your basic ring disc. For the material, I'll give you all of the settings I can, and you can try to reproduce it in 2.1. Remember that with materials like this, lighting is very important. The lighting in your scene could make it look very different. Of course you can alter the settings I will give you to tune your picture. First, go into your material editor and click on 'new' to get a new material. Select 'object space' and 'cast shadows'. COLOUR PRODUCTION set 'procedural colours'. Create a colour map containing bands of colour to your needs. You do this by right clicking on the colour map and selecting 'edit'. My colour map has 11 bands. Right click on the function preview and select 'edit function'. For your first function, select type 'onion'. Combination mode set to 'blend'. Leave the scale at 1 1 1, and click 'fractal layer'. Edit the fractal layer, setting complexity to 4, and scale and amplitude both to 0.5. Combination mode 'add'. Leave the fractal layer editor. You should now be back in the material colour function editor. Click 'add' and add another onion layer. This layer is as for the first layer except that the scale is set to 0.1 0.1 0.1, and the fractal layer complexity is set to 2. Click ok and leave the colour function editor. BUMP PRODUCTION Right click on the colour function preview, (the little square picture in the colour tab). Select 'copy function'. Go to the bump tab. Right click on the bump production preview picture, and select 'paste function'. HIGHLIGHTS Set to zero. TRANSPARENCY Set global transparency to 100 percent. Select 'variable transparency'. Set 'fading out' to zero. Set 'blurred trans' to zero. Set 'refractive index' to 1. Set 'flare' to zero. Copy the colour function to the transparency function as you did for bumps. Right click on the transparency production preview picture and select edit. Create these extra layers using the 'add' button: leopard scale 0.01 0.01 0.01. Fractal layer complexity 2, mode add, scale .5 amplitude .5. turbulence comp 2, noise (smooth), mode add, scale 2, amp .25, harmonics .5. rotation x 91, y 54, z 200. Onion scale .8 .8 .8. fractal layer comp 2, add, scale .5, amp .5. leopard scale .05 .05 .05. Click ok and leave the function editor. Right click on the transparency function graph in the transparency tab. Edit the graph to make it look like the picture with this post (above). REFLECTIONS In my picture the reflections are set to zero, but if you want reflections, select 'variable reflectivity' and copy the transparency function to the reflection function preview picture. EFFECTS these are settings for my picture, they may be different in yours. Set lighting, diffuse and ambient both to 500 percent. You have to type this in, the slider only goes to 100 percent. I have 'colour reflected light' set. Transition to shadow is 72. FINAL Make large mug of tea and relax. This is a preliminary set of settings. More work could improve the appearence I'm sure.

Have a look at the basic rings in an image on my site at: http://www.derby-vi-service.demon.co.uk/pictures.htm If these are any good for you, let me know, and I'llpost some details of how they are made. I think the original material was done in Vue 2, but I may not be able to send it to you as it is probably saved in later formats now. Antway. if rings like those at my site will do, leave a note here and I'll find time to send details.

I got the file, I think you meant 'mapped drives'! Thanks. Er... after two renders to disc, all is fine, but I'll keep checking. It may be a problem with windows, but Vue can get round it as it didn't occur during beta.

I've had this problem too. I always get the picture, its either on the disc or vue recovers it on the next re-start, but the program does crash at 100 percent. I din't get this in the beta testing, nor I think in release 4.0, so I suspect it is a vue problem. We'll see. Any one got the direct url of the win 98 II patch - I'm not mad about searching the unfathomable microsoft site.
