After purchasing Poser 7 and having a blast with it, I decided to take advantage of the current sale on Vue 6 Esprit.

Now, the next step ... 

  1. Any recommended products for Vue 6 for landscape/scene design and Poser character rendering that I should consider getting?

  2. Where can I find some basic tutorials for Vue 6?  I have searched on Renderosity and on Google, but can't seem to find anything basic.  I am having the PDF manual printed at Kinko's as I write this, but would like to supplement that with some tutorials.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I am a complete novice at Vue and 3d graphics in general, so products and tutorials that can be used by a beginner would be most appropriate!

Welcome to Vue!  

Start off with the tutorials on e-on's site.  They are pretty basic.
Get the book Vue 6 Reveled (I wouldn't bother getting the manual printed - it would be less expensive to buy this book!).
Look at the tutorials here on Renderosity.  If you get stuck  just ask!
Ask lots and lots of questions - we will help.

Thanks for the advice. I cancelled my order at Kinkos when they told me it would take $500 to print the manual in color.  Insane!  I'll take your advice and pick up Revealed.

Thanks again

Yikes!  $500!!!  The manual is good, but not worth that much!  Anyway, the pdf is very helpful.  Whenever you see a screen/dialog box - look for a ? icon in the lower right.  If there is one, clicking on it will open the manual to the correct section.

Does Vue 6 Esprit - Boxed come with the printed manual ?

I believe it does; however, I purchased the download version. I was too impatient to wait for it to be shipped to me and I don't have any stores locally that carry it.

Hi!

I just picked up the Vue Personal Learning Edition, and am breathing deep as I take my first step into the world of 3d rendering. I was going to ask this very question, but I'm glad to see other people asking this stuff for me.

Thanks for the info from all.
