"Camera and light synchronization with 3DS Max, Cinema 4D, LightWave, Maya and Softimage XSI for perfectly matching renders"

Maxxxmodels: not a new feature, already in Vue 4 Pro see: HERE

Looking at the full feature list available HERE sold it to me as an animator!

NEW! Illumination baking.

NEW! Separate maps can be assigned to the background, the IBL and the global reflection map channels.

NEW! Time dependant noises (including basic 'Open Ocean' water node).

NEW! Rotoscoping (Use animations as texture maps).

NEW! Animated 2D import: Sequence of pictures, MOV (Macintosh only), AVI (Windows only).

NEW! Exclude ground from Alpha map option.

NEW! Create billboards that always face the camera (with a 'force vertical' option).

And, for those hacked off with having to buy Mover separately:
NEW! Animated Poser 4 & 5 scene import.

One qustion that does strike me though, whatever happened to the pre-animated meshes announced with Vue 5 Esprit? Edited to add missing x and n. Message edited on: 01/31/2005 17:35
