Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Thanks so much for the Staff Pick - I really feel honored!

Thans so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really feel honored!!!! Thank you!

:-) – no sorry for being late, usual I’m the one who needs ages to reply to messages of forum posts :-). A meeting would be really great. I am from time to time in Stuttgart as my girlfriend does come from Stuttgart and her brother still lives there and we often visit him :-). So just let me know when you have some time left, maybe one day at the zoo, my daughter loves to visit the zoo, so if you want just drop me a mail :-).

Hey and again thanks for all the help, really much appreciated

Hi there :-), and thanks again, i already posted some renders in the early render thread ;-)

A thousand thanks again for the update info, I installed it and the content fix, now everything works just fine, I can use SSS :-) – Fantatic! – Thanks!

Strange, no troubles with displacements so far, no matter how wild I go with them. Using SSS the program shuts down at the moment, without any messages, when I hit the render button.

Seems it more my computer (well I currently run it on my laptop 2,8 P4 one gig RAM) than the program itself :-).

Anyway I’m sure they will fix a lot of known issues till the final version is released.

Thanks for the info about the update, as said I have the program since Friday, not sure if the update already is included, I’ll download it anyway and I will see – thanks.

Glad you like Gareee, thanks for making the Pdf ;-).

Hell Mazak this looks just gorgeous! Just tried something with SSS myself, works all fine till I want to go to render it, than my Vue says good bye :-(. So currently it seems there is no SSS for me :-(. Do you have any crashes using this feature as well Mazek or does it run proper without any complications, just curious if it is a general bug they need to fix or if it is just my darn computer :-).

Would be nice of you if you could answer it.  Anyway your SSS feature tests are really awesome a really wonderful effect!

Thanks all,

Haha, I did a lot of 2tuts, but nobody ever asked ME for a 3d tut – lol!

So here it is. I’m not that good in writing so I post a picture which explains the whole procedure pretty exact.

The whole thing does not take longer than 2 to 5 minutes, so it’s nothing special – thanks to the displacement textures ;-).

The whole cave consists of 9 spheres and one terrain on the top :-).

The tut btw is only explaining the cave itself, the plants were just added with eco painting and a mountain in the back and that was it. Creating the scene took just a few minutes, and that’s what really is amazing about Vue, you can get your ideas to screen in no time, well this can change if I really try to do something really complex like you guys do.

Ok here’s the tut

Thanks guys,

And best all done in only ONE day, if I had to paint something similar it would take me month! AND I can take picture like that for reference for my 2d paintings, there is no need anymore to look for photo reverence if I need a cool looking sky, ot I can just paint over it to make it look more “painted” and and and…

This program will definitely safe me some time in my future work flow – fantastic!

I already did a piece using a Vue landscape as background, just painted over it to make it look more painterly and fit with the rest of the image and it saved me lots of time doing so. Well I had to paint in the trees and such but if I now imagine what I could do using this fabulous eco system :-) – we’ll see…

Oh if you are interested you can see the piece I’m talking about here:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1327115

Well for 3d purists it my be crap as there is so much painted, it may be crap as well for 2d purists as there is so much 3d. BUT for those wanting to achieve I nice picture no matter the medium or technique it my be nice ;-).

I’ll definitely do something similar in the next time using V6I.

Bests and thanks

Hi all!

My name is Uwe and I’m pretty new to this forum, but I already got some wonderful help from some of the forum members concerning buying V6I. To make it short, I got my V6I on Friday, download worked just fine and got it installed late Friday night (after getting all those funny registration codes and activation codes and stuff, haha).

However the last Vue I had the pleasure to work with was Vue 4, and it has passed some time till I did something with 3d apps as I just worked 2d digital the last three or four years. What shall I say, I played around in Vue6 the whole Saturday and I’m literally speechless with it’s possibilities. Never before I saw such clouds coming out of a 3d application, and as I missed Vue 5 I had no clue about this powerful eco system, I’m really completely in awe!

So here is what I did so far with my new toy. As for the crashed some of you talked about here, well I had some too, but only when I overdid it with textures and stuff. Most critical for my computer is the “wax texture” didn’t get a render with it, but I assume that’s more a problem of my old computer. All in all it worked very stable.

Forgive me if the renders I show here are pretty unprofessional, but as said it was a long time since I used 3d apps the last time ;-). But Vue will change that, I had so much fun yesterday and I’m so pleased with the results, I did lots of renders yesterday (most only in preview mode in low resolution). The only render in final mode are the clouds and the “green landscape” and it took some time till it was rendered, the others are only preview, but even in preview I was amazed by the result.

Ok think you see I’m really happy with my new toy, here is what I got so far.

-Uwe

Me again :-),

Thanks so much to both of you for your wonderful help. Would have answered earlier but, haha, I had to play with my new toy. YES, I got my Vue6! Downloaded it on Friday, the download worked very well by me, just 3 to 4 hours with no problems.

After getting all those numbers, and online activation codes and stuff I finally got my new toy to run.

What a blast! I loved my Vue4 but hell this new Vue is just awesome, played the whole Saturday with it and did some awesome renders. Clouds, has anyone seen such clouds before! I’m really happy with the program. Well, I had some crashes though, but only when I overdid it with all the new features, especially this “wax texture” gave me some trouble, but all in all it worked very well.

However just wanted to say thanks to both of you for answering my questions.

I will upload some of my “test renders” I did yesterday in the early renders thread as I’m completely amazed what wonderful pictures I was able to do in NO time.

Oh, and Wabe, as for the English language version, think I don’t need to change language later as the program really is so easy to use that I think the English version will work for me as well, at least I had no problems to understand everything so far :-).

Oh and maybe we can meet someday in real life as well, I mean Stuttgart is really just a spit away, I always find it very interesting and much fun to meet people that I got to know online in real life too.

Thanks

Uwe

Hi Wabe, thank you too for the reply so much appreciated! Well I have a G5 2x2GH with 4 gigs RAM and the PC I currently use for 3d apps is a 2,8 GH with only 2 gigs RAM, so I assume it will run smoother on the Mac, but as having all other 3d apps on PC (Poser and so on) I think I will run it on Windows as well well see. Do you think once a German interface is released I can switch from the English on to the German one without having additional costs? On the other hand once I am use to the English interface I thinks there will be no need to change to a German one :-). Thanks you two so much for your great and friendly help! As soon as I come home from work I will download my V6I, cant wait to install it and play with it a little, sometimes you really need a break from painting and what could there be ,ore fun than to play around with a new fantastic Vue version :-) Haha, and as for a manual, I never used one, I always work try and error method, haha. Again thanks Wabe for the info, btw. Checked your profile and saw you are from Germany as well, Stuttgart, right? Haha Im from Ulm so we are very close to each other :-), funny :-) Ok thank you two -Uwe

Thanks so much for your reply, really helped a lot.

I browsed as well the FAQs on the e-on site and well, most of my answers were answered there as well (should have done this maybe before I asked here in the forum, hehe. Anyway thanks so much for your quick reply, very kind of you to answer my dump questions.

Think I will purchase the Windows version as I’m just used to use 3d apps on windows PC’s, my good old mac will be still for 2d work, so I can still work on my 2d commissions while doing a render on the windows PC (some Vue renders use to take really long as far as I remember).

So first thing to do tomorrow is to buy and download V6I and hope I will not have trouble to download the file. But if it all went well I will have a great weekend playing around with the new toy.

Thanks again

-Uwe

Hi Guys,

This is a very interesting thread to me as I am thinking about downloading V6i as well. Well actually I’m more a 2d artist than a 3d, but I still own my old Vue 4 and enjoy it enormously to do some fun images with it, lately I browsed the Vue gallery here again and hell I was absolutely blown away what can be done with Vue6.

But before buying the program I would love to know some things, maybe you guys could help me there.

First my question to wabe, is there a chance to get a German version of V6I?

Next thing I would love to know – what is a floating version and what a nodelocked???

Another thing I would love to know is, I usually have all my 3d apps on a windows Pc and use to only paint on my Mac. Following your thread I saw you guys use a Mac for your Vue – does Vue run proper on a Mac never tried that, as said all my 3d apps are on Pc’s.

The last thing I would love to know, is there a possibility to get a upgrade version of V6I to my old Vue4 esprit, don’t found a possibility myself, maybe you know more?

All help would be really much appreciated, thanks in advance,

-Uwe
