- Welcome to "Up and Running in Vue". My name is Aaron F. Ross. If you've ever struggled with modeling and rendering convincing natural environments, then Vue is the program to learn. Vue is built from the ground up to create photorealistic digital nature. In this course, we'll get familiar with some of Vue's core features. We'll model terrains with manual sculpting and procedural generation. Realistic daylighting and clouds are just a few clicks away. Populating scenes with thousands of heavy objects such as trees is amazingly simple with Ecosystems.
Our course concludes with a look at options for photographic rendering. World-building just gets a lot easier once we're up and running with Vue.
