All the Power of Vue - Inside Your Favorite Application
)
A program that "leads where other landscape apps dare not follow" (3D World magazine), Vue 5 Infinite redefines 3D scenery creation. Designed to complement other 3D software, Vue offers a specialized set of tools for the creation and animation of natural elements.
)
Such tools include EcoSystems (for instantly covering terrains with millions of plants, rocks and other objects), natural-looking SolidGrowth vegetation that can be animated with wind and breeze, procedural terrains with infinite level of detail, volumetric atmospheres and the ability to easily handle and render scenes with huge poly counts.
"Vue is an awesome software! So much detail can be created in just a few mouse clicks. You can't help but smile with so much power at your disposal!" (Darkside Animation Studio) "We never found another tool that could handle that many polygons so quickly; it's really impressive!" (Platinum Studio) |

The xStream Bundle offers Maya, Max, LightWave and Cinema 4D users the ability to produce Vue scenery directly from within their native program. Vue scenery, no matter how complex or polygon-heavy, becomes an integral part of the native scene. You can modify the Vue scenery, or even start a new one from scratch, without ever quitting Max/Maya/LightWave/Cinema 4D.
Vue and native elements seamlessly blend together, casting mutual shadows as well as mutual reflections/refractions. The whole combined scene is rendered in a single pass using the native Renderer or Mental Ray.
The xStream Bundle represents a ground-breaking approach that streamlines production workflow from initial creation to final rendering, and completely eliminates any need for compositing or post processing!
"EcoSystems represents one of the greatest technological advances in 3D that we've seen in many a year" (3D World Magazine) "The Vue 5 xStream Bundle is a wonderful addition to Autodesk users' production tool sets!" (Michel Besner, Senior Director of 3D Product Management for Autodesk's Media & Entertainment Division) |
