E-on Software announces Vue 10.5 xStream and Infinite, the latest production-driven version of its professional solutions for the creation, animation and rendering of natural 3D environments. Vue Infinite operates as a standalone application while Vue xStream works seamlessly inside 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, LightWave and Cinema4D.
This new version includes many feature and interface optimizations, leading to a better, faster and more streamlined workflow. Users of Vue 10.5 xStream also get the option to import multiple Vue cameras to their host app. New features also including improvements to the spline toolset, the option to stack instances of EcoSystems, an updated Terrain Fractal node, and extensions to Python and network rendering tools.
Vue 10.5 is available free of charge for all users under maintenance. Vue 10.5 xStream and Vue 10.5 Infinite are expected to ship during Q2 2012.
Key changes:
Spline Roll – now it is possible to add roll to spline keypoints using the local rotation gizmo e.g. to create leaning roads or roller coaster rails that bank along bends.
EcoSystem Stacking - Users will now be able to stack EcoSystem instances on top of each other. This new feature is available both while painting an EcoSystem or directly from the material editor
TerrainFractal 2 - Vue 10.5 introduces a new version of the original Terrain Fractal node with optional stratification. Terrain Fractal 2 generates a higher diversity of natural looking shapes, and rough areas of rocks and cliffs are more convincingly integrated in the relief
Multiple Vue Camera Import - All Vue cameras present in the scene can be imported to the host application (Vue xStream specific)
new Python functions - adds several new commands to the Python library, such as: Add/remove/move spline points or modify spline effects, Add or modify cloud layers, Manage object animation functions, Hide objects from render, Enable or disable dialogs to popup or set callbacks, and a lot more...
