e-on software will be debuting releases 6.5 of Vue Infinite and Vue xStream for 3DS Max, Cinema4D, LightWave, Maya and XSI at next week's SIGGRAPH conference in San Diego. Vue Infinite and Vue xStream are the company's flagship solutions for the creation of natural 3D environments. The new releases will be free for all Vue 6 Infinite and Vue 6 xStream owners. Vue 6 xStream starts at $900, and Vue 6 Infinite starts at $700 (Nodelocked Licenses, Download Versions).
The new releases allow users to create skies with as many overlapping spectral cloud layers desired for complex cloudscapes. There is also a new cloud lighting technology that lets local lights affect spectral atmospheres and clouds. New functions allow creation of true-to-life thunder storms, search lights or illuminated fly through clouds. You can also render spectral atmosphere animations significantly faster thanks to the optimized spectral atmosphere anti-flickering technology.
