Vue

Vue

Vue is a software package used to create, animate, and render natural 3D movements typically by visual effects studios in movies or architects looking to see how buildings will look in the actual landscape. Vue includes many different features to create these 3D movements such as volumetric effects, glowing materials, and environmental elements like rocks or trees. Vue is available in six versions: xStream, Infinite, Complete, Pro Studio, Esprit, and Pioneer. Vue is a compact program and makes itself known for its ease of use and productivity with its number of tools available in the application to make excellent 3D and CG creations. Vue software has been used in numerous major motion pictures and when using it you can definitely see why. Vue creates very high quality and realistic CG effects. For example, the trees and buildings look so natural you can mistake them for being the trees in your own neighborhood. From first opening the program it is easy to use. Everything is laid right out and streamlined. The only possible downfall for the layout would be having all of the options for you to choose already out. This can be confusing, to say the least. Also, Vue lacks an actual customer support contact. If there are any issues with the software, you would need to go to the E-On Vue website and submit a request to their technical support team. Once a request has been submitted, you would need to wait up to 48 hours for a technical support representative to get back to you. All in all, Vue is a good option for software to create beautiful CG and 3D animations if you don't mind a large selection of tools thrown at you at one time and lack of customer service.
