Course Description
The leading computer graphics standard in easily creating believable and even photo realistic environments for animation or still imagery. Vue is able to completely function as a stand-alone program, however, the Vue xStream plug-in lets users also integrate as a environmental development tool within SoftImage (XSI), Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Maya and 3Ds Max. This Vue course intelligently, with plain spoken demonstrations, brings new users up to speed quickly and demonstrates real-world uses of Vue’s powerful Ecosystem capabilities. By the end of the course, users will have a working knowledge of all of Vue’s basic and advanced tool sets and will able to quickly engage Vue into their professional environment. Work files are included. To begin learning today, simply click on the movie links.
