hen you think of a jungle, the fi rst things that
come to mind are trees. Lots of trees. But there
aren’t many sane people out there who’d be
willing to sit down and manually place each of
the million or so 3D trees that make up this scene. And this is
where Vue 5 Infi nite comes in.
This application from e-on Software creates and animates
natural 3D scenery. Like its predecessor, Vue 4 Pro, this recently
released version offers an extensive set of integration, compositing
and synchronisation tools specifi cally geared toward the
professional user. This increased fl exibility makes Vue 5 Infi nite
especially attractive for animators, architects, matte painters and
visualisation artists who need to add detailed and realistic natural
3D environments to their productions.
Vue 5 Infi nite is packed full with new features. Highlights
include a newly designed render engine with GI, radiosity and
image-based lighting, deep-level shader customisation, SmartGraph
function editor, procedural terrains with infi nite level of detail and a
full-featured multi-pass renderer with Photoshop export.
But back to those trees. With the help of Vue 5 Infi nite’s
indispensable EcoSystems feature (an object duplication and
placement system), this gargantuan task is diminished to no more
than a few mouse clicks. Moreover, as you progress through the
tutorial, you’ll notice the polygon count grows at an alarming rate
(the fi nal scene contains around 3 billion polygons). While most 3D
programs will slow down to a crawl trying to cope with such a high
poly count, Vue 5 Infi nite happily goes about its business.
In addition to working with EcoSystems, you’ll also create and
edit procedural terrains, fi ne-tune the atmosphere, work out the
lighting, do some texturing and even get a feel of the new function
graph editor. If you’ve worked with other versions of Vue, you’ll fi nd
your way easily in this walkthrough. If not then you might want to
do the kick-start tutorial (in the Help section of the demo) fi rst.
Eran Dinur is a freelance 3D artist, musician and animator. He’s
created many of the sample scenes for Vue 3, Vue 4, Vue 4 Pro,
Vue 5 Esprit and Vue 5 Infi nite
