e-on Vue Now Free

Post by clintonman »

Found this on the Lightwave Facebook page. It looks like Vue is being discontinued and the software is now free.

Doesnt only look like it... it is fact !
The download is open for free downloads !
Has also the full free access to plantlibraries so you get the best
3d trees but be aware those are some hefty Gigs of download
sizes !!!
Note that its the full content of Cornucopia and all the models for free download from there..... note all should
be unlocked to be used in every possible software !
You need free stuff for grabs for Ts or Blender its there 1 Around 15 GB of content !
Thanks Clintonman for the headsup ! I learned about it a few hours ago through emails
and i wanted to give you a headsup myself !
Since Vue is free now and supports USD has link to Omniverse and is Ts import friendy and Blender friendly
its a way to go for a bridge now !

Times are hard ! Had to sue the President of Austria at the Interpol and
yes due to the fact that what they have done is illegal you guys will hear it

Autria is heading into disaster again and thats some bad news 1
Remember what Karl Kraus said in "last days of mankind" non fiction essay !
Austria is the laboritory of doom !
Given that the first and the second world war started here.. noit very comforting !!!!!

The owners of Vue got rid of all the information pages so I got this link for the internet archive.

Realistic Atmospheres
VUE features an elaborate atmospheric model with real-world lighting intensities. Set the mood with fog and haze, fully volumetric clouds and beautifully illuminated sunsets. Both the sky itself and volumetric clouds can be exported to other applications as 32-bit HDRIs or OpenVDBs
Have not tried VUE yet, but I bet this could be Imported into trueSpace

yup trueblue it can !
There is a very good exporter made for conversion that they made for 2024 version !
It also incorporates Open pixar and omniverse standard file ! Only the omniverse plugin had to be removed for licensing reasons !
It also ships with a bridge to Cycles (built in)! not fully implemented but still !
It has avery good connection to Python and sdk come swith it !
There is an exporter for Sketchup to vue ..which is rb (ruy script) files to Vue python plugin !
could be used as a sample for learning the how to for... a bridge from Ts to Vue !
It also supports Instanced components to Vue Instance hirachy !!!
It could also be used for Blender Instances to Eco system !
The importer is here :

Your welcome William !

Here are some links to our old Forum discussions to point out some workflow possibilities and
since Vue is free now might be interesting for some to look back in the forum posts !!!
Note that we didnt have the Blender the way we have it today so there are even more possibities today to morph
etc or make animations to export to Vue !
What is also possible is the MDD workflow !

viewtopic.php?p=1241&hilit=vue#p1241
viewtopic.php?p=3136&hilit=vue#p3136

here I showed how much can be exported to vue with athmosphere!
