View Full Version : Vue 5 Espirit
Is anybody using this package to render? The quality of the renderings on the site seem great and the price is pretty good too. I'd like to see some of the output if anyone is using it!! Thanks!
It's being packaged with Lightwave now too. Good deal if you already have Lightwave and plan to upgrade.
I just downloaded the demo and the user interface seems fairly decent. I'm just wondeing about the output and if it's really that mauch better then native SU. I'm just feeling a little burnt-out on native SU stuff lately even when tweaked with Photo-Paint. Just need to mix up our portfolio a little with some diffrent looking images.

i gave it a try, basically it was made to create nature scenes and i think that something is missing when u try to render some architectural models with it.
the spot light are annoying, u see that this company have no experience with this kind of rendering.
but it seems to me that this is one of the best nature renderers.
Vue is a great app… the big problem with it is integration with other apps. The Infinite version does some things to solve this. But in general… if you don't use the Nature features then it has no real use…
Vue 5 is more suitable for enviromental design such as landscaping. Much to do with Nature stuffs. It's not a bad software consider it's price. Take a look at one of my rendering done in Vue 5.

I beg to differ after for animation of buildings and ease of use it has no real competition. Artlantis might give it a run for it's money when they release the studio version and for DEM work Vue5 is as good as it gets

Yep... Vue5 and artlantis do it for me sketchup exports well in both...
example render in Vue which can place realistic fractel based trees in position is a big plus in animations
vue5 has now a plugin for max and maya.

but vue just sucks for interiors... trust me, I've tried.
Overall, I tried Cinema 4D, Vue, Artlantis, 3DMax and so forth...
resultrs.. Vue, don't really fancy the interface especially when it comes to materials... Nice landscape trees and stuff, but render times are a bit slow and navigation is a pain when there's a lot of trees and plants. Interior again, is a pain.
3DMax Vray, complex, 3D max is a dog in interior navigation, can't move or position camera properly at times... material handling is too complex.
Cinema4D, great stuff... a bit of material difficulties, need to master more, radiosity options are a bit obscured, but follow the tutorial and you're there.
Artlantis, straightforward, easy, I like it a lot... have issues handling big files, may crash. Small files do wonders... quick render times, quick and easy and can still deliver powerful punches.
These two images took me 30 min totally.
I was trying to save some time on a quick progress presentation.
The atmosphere is pretty helpful.
I won't use it for the final rendering.

re spadestick
I'm with you on all your comments re 3D rendering packages and the bit about Vue is also true when it comes to interiors but for outdoors it can really come up with some pretty great results like the model based on Jakes tests for Maxwell which I reckon would be king if the can get the render times down.

bocchinelli and sharco,
I think these are great renders.
Sharco. Are these rendered with Vue? They are really nice. And if they were done as quickly as you said then even better.
I think there are lots of great renderers out there capable of giving great results. My opinion – it's 10 percent rendering software and 90 percent skill of the software user. You cannot under estimate the artistry involved in the whole process. I've seen techically skilled 3d people with the best software turn out the worst crap. No soul, no artistry, but . . . technically correct.
Vue looks like a really great option. Nice work. :cheers:

Thanks for the kind words of support Jake.
I agree totally about the ratio of skill and software = output.
I my self like everybody else I guess is looking for the dream renderer and to date, I cant see one app that does it all.
I saw your tests in Maxwell and I'm really impressed at the lighting quality and might well go down this route once the final version comes out.
But to date I think that Artlantis, Vue5I and Cheeta seem to cover most of what I need to achieve.
One final thing about Vue, is that I have never seen another 3d app that can create fantastic looking vegitation so quickly see pic herewith...

I think you're wrong
It's quick and easy to use, exports in lots of formats, integrates well with lots of programs and produces some fantastic results, why do you think the major filmmakers incorporate it in their workflow

So why is Vue not on this forum list of archvis renderers ?
Is it not good enough for it ?
Your comment about "3 years ago", you should see some of the stuff that was being done then.:wondering
