I will tell you what is Vue d'Esprit : I fell in love with it right after it was first released. But version 3.1, the current version, is far ahead of the first shareware release of Vue d'Esprit, a product that at version 1 already had a lot of many, happy users. And with the release of Vue 3.1, you have a 3D application that doesn't disappoint in its power and ease of use. Although originally created as a landscape generator, you will soon discover that Vue d'Esprit can render much more than only landscapes. It is only limited by your imagination. And it's very easy to use ! But let's speak about landscapes and the absolutely realistic vegetation in Vue. What is amazing is that even seen from close up, it looks realistic. This is the greatest strength of Vue. Vegetation is created with a single click, and each plant created is unique, with each new plant of the same species appearing totally different from the previous one. e-on software calls this feature SolidGrowth, its unique technology for "growing" trees, and includes 18 3D trees in the SolidGrowth format. More are available for free or for a charge through the e-on's secure server. It is also possible to create your own plants as well. But Vue does more than just vegetation! It also contains powerful editors that let you create gorgeous atmospheres, clouds, terrains, water surfaces. Vue includes over 100 preset atmospheres (including animated ones), 16 geological effects and 70 different cloud shapes. Other atmosperes, created by users, are downloadable for free. And lets not forget the lights!! With the use of very natural outdoor lights, your landscapes become truly photorealistic. New, shadowless lights permits you to play with special effects. Blurred effects (illusion of movement in a still image) can be applied to all objects. But that's not all. I have only touched the surface of what Vue can do. Superb renders with soft shadows or blurred reflections. Vue's DynamicMotion technology allows you to animate any scene - clouds, water, objects - and to create realistic looking professional videos. It supports file import in DXF, Wavefront OBJ, and 3DS formats. e-on software doesn't appear to let its employees sleep. They are very responsive with timely fixes and updates, some of which, like version 3.1, was available as a free download. Version 3.1 added significant, new features in addition to the obligatory fixes. I shouldn't say it, but the quality of this software is much higher than its price! You can buy it by phone or direct order through the e-on software website, or through e-on's distributors and resellers in Europe. They have offices in Paris, France and Beaverton, Oregon, USA. It retails for around $189. Tutorials and help for beginners are available for free.
