Интеграция xStream:
Creating and Editing VUE Environments
VUE xStream 2016 operates as a fully integrated plug-in for 3ds Max, Maya, LightWave, Cinema 4D and Softimage. It adds all of VUE's dedicated environment creation tools to your application's interface.
Using these tools, you can create complete, hyper-realistic 3D environments without leaving your favorite application.
This includes (among others) the ability to create atmospheric effects, build procedural terrains, grow SolidGrowth trees or even populate entire forests.
Edit VUE Elements inside your Application
Proxy geometry is dynamically created by VUE xStream 2016 inside the host application so that you can use your application's standard manipulators to move, rotate or resize each element of the VUE environment individually.
You can use all standard tools of your application (such as alignment, scripting or even add fur to VUE elements), and you can make VUE elements interract dynamically with native objects (e.g. collision detection, etc).
Animation of VUE items can be done either through VUE (e.g. for wind effects), or using the host application's animation tools. Both types of animation are naturally combined seamlessly.
VUE xStream 2016 for 3ds Max, Softimage and Cinema 4D will even let you paint EcoSystems interactively (on VUE objects or on native objects), directly through the host application's viewports*.
* This feature is currently only available in 3ds Max, Softimage and Cinema 4D. LightWave and Maya support is planned, but is still pending development by Newtek/Autodesk.
Full Support of All VUE Elements
You can create VUE environments directly in the host application, or you can load ready-made environments that were designed on a stand-alone version of VUE (VUE Infinite, or VUE xStream 2016 running in stand-alone mode - xStream can run either as a plug-in or as a stand-alone application).
All components of the VUE environments are supported by VUE xStream 2016, including complete EcoSystems, all types of atmospheres, cameras, lighting, all plants, all terrain types and all procedural materials.
Animated scenes are also supported, including wind animations for plants and EcoSystems, atmosphere and cloud animations, and all animated materials.
All imported meshes included in the VUE scene will be loaded as well.
Lights are automatically converted into their Maya/Max/LightWave/Cinema/Softimage counterparts, and the atmosphere is converted into a special environment shader.
Rendering
Render With Any Renderer
With the Conversion tool in VUE xStream 2016, VUE scenes can be rendered with any non-natively supported renderer such as RenderMan, Arnold, Octane, VRayRT, etc.
VUE xStream 2016 enables you to convert your entire scenes to native assets. This process bakes the entire scene and converts all EcoSystem instances to the appropriate native format. You can then freely share your scenes, and render them with any renderer, without requiring VUE xStream 2016 to be installed.
This is particularly useful when you don't render with any of the natively supported renderers, or want to use an outsourced renderfarm that does not currently support VUE xStream 2016.
* Warning: wind animation from PlantFactory species is not transferred and converting very large populations may bring your host application to its knees!
The "Integrated" Render Process
Upon rendering, xStream kicks-in its own render engine, which works in parallel to the native renderer. This assures that the VUE elements will look exactly as if they were rendered inside VUE, and also helps speeding up the rendering of polygon-heavy elements such as terrains and EcoSystems.
However, this is a completely transparent process. There is no need to deal with the xStream renderer. Parameters such as render resolution and anti-aliasing quality need only to be set for the native renderer. If necessary, you can override these settings easily.
Benefits of Using Two Renderers
VUE environments easily comprise billions of polygons. Plants are unique and sway in the wind. Most of the native renderers wouldn't be able to handle this level of complexity.
The VUE renderer features unique technologies specifically designed to improve the render quality of natural elements (procedural rendering, advanced shading algorithms, etc).
These unique technologies are simply not available in other renderers.
Integration with MentalRay and V-Ray
VUE xStream 2016 is compatible with MentalRay for 3ds Max, Maya and Softimage and V-Ray for Max and Maya. This compatibility extends to specific technologies, such as Mental Ray Sun&Sky, V-Ray Sun&Sky, Mental Ray Photometric Lights or Mental Ray Distributed Bucket Rendering.
VUE xStream 2016 will automatically adjust its settings to match the effects of these features, whenever they are used.
Rendering Flexibility
VUE xStream 2016 lets you easily disable the rendering of the VUE sky and/or atmospheric effects (e.g. when using mr or V-Ray Sun&Sky). You can even disable the rendering of VUE content altogether, for instance if you want to perform tests on the host-application-part of the scene. If the entire VUE content is disabled from render, the VUE xStream plug-in won't be loaded altogether.
VUE atmospheric effects can be rendered alongside other volumetric plug-ins running in the host application (contingent upon the implementation of the plug-in). For instance, rendering alongside LightWave HyperVoxels or Maya Fluids is possible.
G-buffer and Multi-Pass Rendering
VUE xStream 2016 offers powerful g-buffer and multi-pass rendering features, for even greater post-processing flexibility.
Native Renderer Compatibility
A single license of VUE xStream 2016 can be used with all compatible applications and renderers installed on your system, without requiring the purchase of any Extra Renderer licenses. Additionally
- VUE xStream 2016 for Maya works natively with MentalRay, V-Ray and Maya software renderer.
- VUE xStream 2016 for Max works natively with MentalRay and V-Ray.
- VUE xStream 2016 for Softimage works natively with MentalRay.
- VUE xStream 2016 for LightWave and Cinema 4D works natively with the native renderer.
Workflow
Integrated Interface
VUE features are directly accessible from the host application interface, via menu commands or icons (Max, Maya, Softimage, and Cinema 4D).
All VUE dialogs are non-modal, allowing access to the host application even with the VUE dialogs open. This is particularly useful e.g. when painting EcoSystems.
Matching Scene Scales
VUE xStream 2016 automatically matches its unit system so that the sizing of VUE elements matches that of the host application. This ensures that a one foot-large cube in VUE also measures exactly one foot in the host application.
It is also possible to customize the scaling ratio between VUE and the host application.
Matching Lights
You can adjust VUE and native lights independently using one of 3 options: automatic, ignore light in VUE and manual (the VUE light and its native counterpart are edited independently).
The shadow density is automatically matched to that of the host application (Max, Maya, Softimage, and Cinema 4D only).
If needed, it is also possible to manually control (via a dedicated setting) the brightness of VUE's indirect lighting to better match that of the host application.
Physically Accurate Sunlight Model:
When working in xStream integrated mode, the VUE render engine will automatically adapt to the host application's photometric model to provide seamlessly integrated lighting.
Render Times
The render settings of the host application can be automatically adjusted to match the VUE settings. As a result, render times in the host application are consistent with those achieved in VUE standalone.
Display
For each element in the environment, VUE generates a 3D proxy in the host application. These proxies are displayed, like any other native object, using the application's OpenGL or Direct3D engine.
You can change the level of detail of proxies to speed up the refresh rate of very large VUE scenes.
File Management
Stand-alone VUE scenes are saved in VUE format. Combined scenes are saved either in the native format of your 3D application, or can be split as native/VUE scenes. In this case, the native scene will reference the VUE scene.

Нововведения в VUE 2016:
What's New in VUE 2016 R2
360° VR Panoramas
VUE xStream 2016 allows you to render 360 degrees panorama, as static images or animations. They are compatible with all of VUE's Render Options, such as multipass or High Dynamic Range (HDR) for instance.
When rendering a VR panorama, VUE xStream 2016 offers to automatically and perfectly level the camera to avoid unwanted distortion.
Rendered VR panoramas are automatically recognized by Facebook, YouTube (and other panoramic compliant platforms) as 360° images or videos.
Additional Viewports
VUE xStream 2016 enables you to set up up to 16 viewports (instead of the 4 traditional views).
This feature is particularly useful on a multi monitor system, to test various framing options or adding more camera angles without touching any of your main scene setup.
All additional viewports retain the same usual options, such as render in view or setup as many perspective cameras as you see fit.
Other User Experience Improvements
VUE xStream 2016 R2 also introduces a list of UX/UI improvements, such as:
Terrain modeling:
- "Blend Terrain with Image" automatically modifies the Heightfield Terrain function graph (instead of modifying the terrain Heightmap).
- Simplified "Resample Terrain" replaces "Resize Terrain", to update terrain resolution without changing its size within the scene.
User Interface:
- "Interactive slider changes" option now also affects the mouse wheel for more dynamic visual display of your modifications in real-time.
- Improved visibility in viewports thanks to reworked wireframe selection colors.
- The User Interface is now locked when downloading an object or a scene from the extra content.
Materials:
- Easier access and edition of multi-material thanks to sub-menu hierarchy display.
- And more...
Integration - Importing and Exporting
VUE xStream 2016 now lets you export almost every single assets of your scenes: Plants, Rocks, Terrains, EcoSystem populations and even full scenes, in a wide variety of file formats, such as FBX, Alembic, 3ds, Collada and more.
As every software imports assets differently, VUE xStream 2016 includes many custom tailored export presets depending on where you're exporting to, e.g to 3ds Max, Maya, Unity, Cinema4D and more. Of course you can also fine tune your exports settings to your specific needs.
EcoSystem and Full Scene Export
EcoSystem populations can now be exported as FBX and Alembic. You can set VUE to export all texture maps to a sepearate folder, to re-texture your assets in your host application with ease.
Exported scenes in Alembic or FBX include all EcoSystem populations, FBX also allows exporting the sky as a cube map.
Export Preview
VUE xStream 2016 allows you to preview your exports (in OpenGL) to check how your geometry/materials will look like in your target application, without leaving the VUE interface. A precious time saver!
You can preview only selected assets or the full scene at once.
xStream Convert Tool - Render With Any Renderer
With the Conversion tool in VUE xStream 2016, VUE scenes can be rendered with any non-natively supported renderer such as RenderMan, Arnold, Octane, VRayRT, etc.
VUE xStream 2016 enables you to convert your entire scenes to native assets*. This process bakes the entire scene and converts all EcoSystem instances to the appropriate native format. You can then freely share your scenes, and render them with any renderer, without requiring VUE xStream 2016 to be installed.
This is particularly useful when you don't render with any of the natively supported renderers, or want to use an outsourced renderfarm that does not currently support VUE xStream 2016.
Any VUE asset that was converted can be reverted to its VUE original form at any time.
Other Import and Export Improvements:
- Set specific export quality for all assets in your scene independantly or globally, including EcoSystem populations
- Export textured assets as FBX
- Export textured assets as Collada
- Choose to export all texture maps when exporting to Alembic
- Import all objects included in an Alembic File, including instantiated objects
- VUE will automatically detect and apply a global scale factor when importing scenes or assets coming from other software
- Export your meshes' original maps with their UVs
HeightField Terrain Technology - More flexible and a lot more Powerful!
With VUE xStream 2016, we're introducing a brand new terrain modeling technology, more flexible and a lot more powerful, called "Heightfield Terrains".
This new technology allows you to add terrain effects that were previously impossible to achieve, such as Hydrological & Thermal Simulations!
Similar to procedural terrains, Heightfield Terrains are based on a function graph, but baked on a fixed-resolution grid. This will give you more flexibility and add more realism to your terrains. Heightfield Terrains are also significantly faster to render!
Heighfield terrains are manually sculptable and parameters can be animated - e.g. to simulate a terrain erosion over time for instance!
And finally, you can easily set up your graph outputs to drive your material presence, directly from within the Terrain Editor interface.
The Heightfield Terrains technology comes with its set of new dedicated nodes and presets, like 9 different Erosion presets and Slope, Convexity, Blur or Terrace nodes.
New Layout Nodes also let you design a terrain's "layout" (most prominent features) using hand-drawn elements like Splines, elements from the scene, or simple shapes (circles, rectangles, rounded rectangles).
Additionally, all terrain presets in the terrain Editor were reworked, and VUE xStream 2016 now ships with 42 terrain samples.
Hybrid GPU/CPU Interactive Path Tracer
GPU rendering comes to VUE with the new Path Tracer renderer. This renderer naturally and automatically simulates real-life lighting, and automatically calculates many effects that have to be specifically set with other methods, such as depth of field, caustics, ambient occlusion, and indirect lighting.
Path tracing in VUE xStream 2016 is available as an interactive rendering quality in the viewports, as well as an offline rendering engine.
EcoSystem Improvements
PlantFactory Preset Variations
PlantFactory 2015 introduced the concept of Presets. PlantFactory 2016 now introduces the concept of Preset Variations.
Preset Variations allow you to immediately include subtle differences to your plant (change the number of buds on a blooming flower, or its petal colors for instance).
This new feature allows you to easily add variety to create realistic environments with one single plant species!
Within VUE xStream 2016, you directly get access to the PlantFactory species presets and variations within the Plant Browser, the Plant Editor and within your EcoSystem population list.
So, at every step of your scene creation process, you are able to select the species you want, the preset you want and the variations you want!
Multiple Global EcoSystems and EcoPainter Improvements
VUE xStream 2016 now allows you to populate your scenes with multiple Global EcoSystems layers (i.e. not linked to any underlying material). You can save your Global EcoSystem populations as EcoPainter brushes, and re-use them at any time, in any scene!
VUE xStream 2016 ships with 12 EcoPainter brushes to get you started. Populations in your EcoSystem brushes can also be used in any standard EcoSystem material!
VUE xStream 2016 includes 20 EcoPainter effector brushes, including a new Rotate effector to dynamically alter the placement of your EcoSystem populations.
Memory Saving Technologies
You can now optimize memory consumption by using baked (static or dynamic) versions of PlantFactory species for your EcoSystem populations, or by converting any referenced assets in your scenes to EcoSystem Instances.
Interface
Customizable Workspace
VUE xStream 2016 lets you reorganize the layout of the interface even further to better suite your workflow:
- Group/Ungroup related dialogs together to save space and customize your interface at will
- Automatically re-open grouped/tabbed subdialogs when re-opening master dialogs (Terrain Editor, Material Editor, Function Graph...)
