Create Realistic Sky Boxes

[vcool]

I don't have Vue7 and I cant find the documentation anywhere, so what you can do is either go to "DIR\Vue 6 Infinite\Python\Documentation Files" and upload that folder for me to look at, which isn't legal I think, or in Vue you could click Python/Python Documentation. This will open a browser window with the extensive documentation (I wish there was something like this for Max and Python). Scroll down to Global Classes, and you'll see a paragraph there. The links are in blue. Click VUEBasicObject. This will show another page. In the page, press Ctrl + F to find, and type "cam" or "camera" non-case sensitive. You might find something like VOT_Cam. Although I am not sure since they may have completely rewritten their Python definitons.

Got it. I just had to remove the "VUECamera." in "VuePython.VUECamera.VOT_Camera". I won't know completely until tomorrow I guess though. Thanks for the help.

Success!

After several hours of fiddling with various settings trying to remove the seams, it all came down to TwiNCannoN's post about turning off Natural Film Response and Auto-exposure.

Now that I have it working, albeit with dodgy watermarks, I can start working on a night time sky.

This tutorial should be moved to the 'texture creation' section.

Anyone want to post what they've made with this? I'd really like to see what people get with it :)!

Very impressive, good job mate.

What version?

[marnamai]

Vue7, 6 is nowhere as good in terms of quality.

Thanks for the script Scratch!

Below is the modification you need for the script to work in Vue 8.5

Change

Code: Select all

# -- Retrieve the camera

DeselectAll()
SelectByType(VuePython.VUEBasicObject.VOT_Camera)
cam = GetSelectedObjectByIndex(0)

I'm having problems with seams. What should I do? I followed every step correctly. Can it be my cloud options?

There's a fixed set up here, that'll deal with that (vertical and horizontal FOV needs to be 90).

Been playing with Vue10 after Chop helped me out.


Already tested a few in game. Just rendering this out and ready to make a HDR version!
