The latest version of E-on Software’s landscape creation and animation application brings improvements to light, atmospheres and EcoSystems, and also offers enhanced integration into existing pipelines.
New features include:
- Workflow improvements – Vue xStream 2014 imports FBX
scenes with textured geometries and cameras in both ASCII or binary FBX
formats. Camera motion can be imported and exported as .FBX as well as
Nuke .CHAN files. All render layers can be exported in a single
Multi-layer 32Bit OpenEXR 2.0 file; all passes are available in either
32-bit (floating point or unsigned integer) or 16 bit (half format). - Physically accurate sunlight model and photometric lights
- Tone mapping
- Natural grain – produces natural color variations
particularly well suited for terrains, ground or any natural element - EcoSystem improvements – optimized algorithms to
accelerate the rendering of EcoSystems containing many small items,
such as gravel or grass blades - Improved Plant Factory compatibility – health, seasonality
or any other published plant parameter can be animated directly inside
the Vue timeline. A new Quality setting is available to define the
amount of detail of the plant instances. - Interface improvements
- Many other improvements such as Foldable EcoPainter, highly
optimized flat Area Lights, naming in Render Stack, improved material
manipulation, integration into the latest releases of Autodesk 2014
software, Cinema4D R15 (currently for Windows only) and LightWave 11.6,
and more.
