LAND AHOY We see what improvements have been made to the software that enables you to create infinitely varied environments.
Used in films like Avatar, Vue has been an industry staple for many years. It was the first application to offer ecosystems, allowing many to dig in and get their fingers dirty in digital nature. It evolved into a toolkit staple, with ease of workflow always being its key feature. Its current clients include 343 Industries as well as Naughty Dog and Saatchi & Saatchi.
E-on has streamlined Vue’s range of tool options into three packages: Creator, Professional, and Enterprise, with monthly subscription costs ranging from under $20 to $99 (there are also annual subscription options available). We took a look at what Vue Professional offers artists and small studios, particularly from a productivity point of view.
The first thing you’ll notice is the new UI. Previously, its interface was a gloomy monochrome affair, although colored icons helped on the clarity front. Thankfully, you can now define the colors in the general UI.
