Vue 4, a powerful 3D application
Vue 4 is a powerful 3D application optimized for the creation, rendering and animation of natural scenery. It's unbeatable at 3D scenery, and it's great for other forms of art too! Vue 4 was designed for beginners as well as advanced users. It has been granted many awards for its amazing render quality and incredible ease of use.Vue 4 is the ideal choice for the artist - hobbyist or professional - in search of quality 3D scenery.
The main new features of Vue 4 are:
- New interface design, improved workflow, OpenGL views.
- Volumetric atmospheres, clouds, lights, materials.
- Lens flares, stellar and atmospheric objects.
- SolidGrowth 2 for even more realistic and varied vegetation
- Solid3D terrain modeling, random rock generator.
- Luminous and glowing materials, caustics
- 40% average increase in rendering speed.
- New import/export filters (static Poser import, QuickTime VR).
New interface Design, Improved Workflow, OpenGL Views
Vue 4features a brand new interface design, optimized for efficiency as well as style. To the right of the viewports are the Object Properties panel, the Camera Control Center and the World Browser. Work the way you like: with one single view, or in a standard 4 view layout (everything can now be done in the main view). Toggle anytime between both modes. Use the new Numerics tool to interactively move, rotate, resize, twist objects and position the pivot point.
The advanced OpenGLengine lets you select the display quality of objects on a per view and per object basis (e.g. you can make one view wireframe and the others shaded). Customize the views with optional OpenGL shadows, fog, lighting and background paper. View your scene on top of the rendered picture to fine-tune object placement.
Camera Control Center: this new feature displays a real-time render of the scene and offers a set of tools for manipulating the camera (rotate, pan, move in/out, focal) and managing the cameras in the scene (store camera, circulate through cameras).
Volumetric Atmospheres, Clouds, Lights, Materials
Vue 4's new Volumetric atmosphere system closely simulates the interactions of light and air to recreate amazingly realistic atmospheres. Create visible beams of light, with optional dust/smoke. Use volumetric materials to create smoke and low-altitude clouds. Use our special volumetric clouds algorithms for realistic clouds.
