Render everything together inside 3ds Max, Maya, LightWave, Cinema 4D or Softimage, with full interaction between Vue and native elements, including 2-way mutual shadow casting, reflection, refraction and GI. New in Vue 8.5 Vue 8 xStream provides a unique, unmatched solution for creating and integrating high quality natural scenery into any professional production pipeline, from architectural visualization to broadcast and film.
Unlimited Material Painting The material painting tool lets you paint distribution maps with any arbitrary number of materials. Easily add new materials to create extremely detailed distributions. Toggle material masks to constrain painting of other materials inside existing distribution maps. Material masks are now handled independently from the rest of the material, so you can rescale materials or use any type of coordinates without affecting the distribution.
New Sculpting Tools Vue 8.5 introduces 4 powerful new sculpting brushes: Pinch, Flatten, Plateau and UniSlope. The Pinch brush brings the terrain features closer together, while the Flatten, Plateau and UniSlope brushes let you accurately control the slope of your terrains.
Zone Extraction With Vue 8.5 you can extract a specific area of a procedural terrain with just one click! Simply select a zone and convert it to a separate procedural terrain. This is ideal to create customized textures on specific areas.
Sculpt from References You can now apply a bitmap to a terrain, and then view this bitmap inside the Terrain Editor as you sculpt the terrain. This feature is particularly useful when recreating a terrain based on real world photo references. It is also now possible to reset 2D and 3D sculpting independently - this feature is also available in the free Vue 8.4 update.
