Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 30 8:14 pm)
That's probably a record speed of request for help! Best bet is to load up some of the sample scenes off the disk & play around with the parameters. Just tweak something & see what happens. That way you will feel more in control of your scene. If you want to tweak the lighting settings for the above file then go into the atmosphere editor or swing the sun around a little. Good luck!
Well, you have to ask the right questions. What is bothering you with the file above? Do you not want the lens flare? Do the clouds look flat? Too much fog or haze? Just open the atmosphere tab & move the sliders, it will change the lighting setup! Give the plant some landscape to sit on, this will damp the lighting & throw some shadows up around the place. If you want a step by step tut, go to the backroom & follow something from step one to step twenty or whatever. It may take hours, even days. You will be learning all the same!
I agree with Rokol, and even laughing hard at his first response. He is right in that you MUST be willing to play around with all the various settings. You might also want to familiarize yourself with the manual as that can let you know immediately where everything is and what it does. The people in the VUE forums bend over backwards to assist anyone with problems or questions however, there is a small level of expectation we have on the part of the user and that is they must spend some time with the program (beyond what it takes to install it) and even be willing to make mistakes.
Rokol's advice is excellent.
Also, move the sun or move the camera or both. Look at the sun settings and light settings in the Atmosphere Editor. Read the manual. Investigate the sample scenes. Check out the many tutorials available here, and search Google for more. Also check out Cornucopia 3D, 3D Commune and other Vue sites.
Note that for the sun symbol, only the direction the arrow points is important. The sun is millions of miles away from your scene (like in the real world), so it doesn't matter where you place it in your scene or how close to your subject. The arrow shows the direction of the light, so that is very important.
You'll get a better response if you ask more specific questions, so people will better understand how to help you.
It's also a good idea to always mention which version of Vue you are using, since there are several and they have different features.
