Learning Softimage - Sunset and clouds

Hi, this week I decided to explore a bit more the amazing Vue 9.5 application to create landscape and atmospheres. I also modeled and textured an airline transporter in order to put some action in my scene. What you see here is actually a complete mental ray render realized in Autodesk Softimage 2012.5. What is amazing about Vue 9.5 is that it implement itself inside most popular 3d applications (3ds Max, Softimage and Maya). You simply open your favorite 3D application and you load your Vue 9.5 scene. You can then render directly from your 3d application and using your usual preferred settings.

Learning Softimage - Air Defense

Hi, this week at the CentreNAD we learned a lot about animating mesh on path, different constraint types. The planes in the video were modeled, textured and animated in Softimage XSI 2011.5. However, I wanted to try out a new program for the environment. It is called VUE 9. It was used in the making of great movies like Avatar and other big title. One of the new feature of the version 9 is the direct implementation of the VUE renderer and workflow directly into Softimage XSI. I used VUE 9 to set up my landscape including the water, the sky, palm tree and the mountains. VUE 9 also animated everything automatically so it would look right. There was quite a lot of tweaking to do in order to make it play right with Softimage, but once that was done : it was a great experience.
