E-on Software Brief History

E-on software was founded in 1997 by Vue d'Esprit creator Nicholas Phelps.

Vue

Vue d'Esprit, e-on software's scenery generator was created in late 1992. Vue d'Esprit 1.0 was completed in 1994 and version 1.2 released one year later. Vue d'Esprit 2 was released in 1997, Vue d'Esprit 3 in 1999, Vue d'Esprit 4 in 2001, Vue 4 Professional in 2003, Vue 5 Esprit and Vue 5 Pro Studio in late 2004, Vue 5 Infinite in 2005, Vue 5 xStream in 2006, the complete Vue 6 line in 2007, the complete Vue 7 line end 2008 and finally Vue 8 end 2009.

The current Vue product line is now organized in 3 families: Vue for CG Professionals, Vue for 3D Artists and Vue for 3D Enthusiasts.

Each familiy provides Digital Nature authoring with the best blend of capabilites and features:

Vue for CG Professionals: Vue Infinite and Vue xStream (& Ozone).
Offers CG professionals the premiere solution for creating exceptionally rich and realistic Digital Nature environments with seamless integration into any production workflow.
Vue for 3D Artists: Vue Esprit, Vue Studio and Vue Complete.
Provides 3D artists with powerful modular applications to create richly natural 3D Digital Nature scenery and landscapes.
Vue for 3D Enthusiasts: Vue Pioneer & T-Packs and Vue Frontier.
Features content-filled, easy-to-use scenic nature creation for home and family use, with the addition of the new, cost effective Vue Frontier, specifically dedicated to Poser™ users.

Extra Modules for Vue

E-on also develops a set of plug-ins for the Vue product line for 3D Artists, helping them to animate their scenes, named Mover (replaced by HyperVue in 2005), Botanica, LighTune, DeepAccess, 3D Import, RenderUp, EcoSystem, EcoPainter, Zephyr, AdvanceGraph, KronosFX, and Exporter. Mover 1 appeared in 1996, then in its second version in 1998 (Mover 2), Mover 4 (allowing animated Curious Labs' Poser model import) in 2002 and finally Mover 5 in 2004. All other plug-ins were released between 2004 and 2009.

Ozone

E-on also created an atmosphere generator as a plug-in, made from a part of Vue's rendering engine, named Ozone. Ozone 3D for Lightwave 3D was created in 1999, then e-on developed Ozone 2.0 for lightWave in 2002 and made it possible also for Cinema 4D in 2003. Ozone 3 was released in 2007, and Ozone 4 in 2009, getting additional compatibility with 3ds Max, Maya and Softimage at the same time.
