The outlook is Vue

Vue Infinite is the professional level version of E-on software's Vue 3D product line which aims to create highly realistic natural 3D environments.

Vue is also known for its ability of creating plants with relatively convincing realism, and one of the things that helps this is e-on's SolidGrowth plant technology. SolidGrowth gives you over 50 different plant species that you can use to populate your scenes, and the ability to animate the plants so that they appear to sway and bend in variable wind conditions. SolidGrowth is based on random growth technologies so no two plants generated will ever be the same. It also simulates the different colour tones found in nature for even greater variety.


Vue Infinite comes with a high quality standard volumetric atmosphere model that simulates the interactions of light and air as it travels through the atmosphere, which in turn lets you create fog, haze, rainbows, twinkling stars, etc. The software comes with 160 preset atmosphere models which you can load and then edit in the atmosphere editor.
