Saving resources in EcoSystems

Using scaling tricks and camera perspective adjustments can help in saving resources in large EcoSystems.

Creating image based EcoSystem distributions in Maya

Learn how to use VUE's Function Editor within Maya to drive the distribution of EcoSystems with variable density.

Converting VUE terrains into 3ds Max objects

Learn how to bring terrains from VUE into 3ds Max with the VUE integration plugin.

Syncing cameras between VUE and 3ds Max and Maya

Learn how to import cameras from a VUE scene into 3ds Max and Maya and vice versa, including animation.

Making of "Fresh water"

In this scene breakdown, Barry Marshall shows you his techniques for EcoSystem setup and water material creation in the Function Editor.

Controlling materials and EcoSystems with the wetness index node

The wetness index node computes the amount of water across a terrain. Use it to drive material distribution and EcoSystems.

Mastering iteration nodes in PlantFactory

Iteration nodes are one of the most powerful features in PlantFactory. By designing loops, you can create complex models with just a few nodes.

Working with the Cutout Leaf Node in PlantFactory

With the cutout leaf node, you can cutout meshes from an atlas map for lightweight and customizable geometry.

Setting up vertex colors and Ambient Occlusion in PlantFactory

PlantFactory supports vertex colors for material effects and for computing Ambient Occlusion. Learn how to setup vertex sets here.

Animating revolving wheels in VUE

Revisit some math from school, because this tutorial will teach you how to animate revolving wheels with physically correct speed and rounds per minute.

Converting VUE scenes to Redshift in Cinema 4D

Learn how you can convert assets from a VUE scene to native Cinema 4D objects with Redshift materials.

Converting VUE scenes to Redshift in Maya

The VUE plugin can convert a VUE scene to native Maya objects with Redshift materials with or without using Redshift's sprite node.

Converting VUE scenes to Renderman in Maya

Create Renderman PxrSurface materials for any object in a VUE scene with the VUE integration plugin. Then render the entire scene in Renderman.

Improving blending transitions with complex geometry

PlantFactory offers parameters for improving the geometry blending with parent and child in difficult areas, for example with displacement.

Renderman materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Maya

With the integration plugin, any PlantFactory or PlantCatalog can be brought into Maya with native Renderman PxrSurface materials.

Setting up clearcoat properties in PBR materials

This tutorial shows how to setup a clearcoat channel in PBR materials and how the reflection fresnel differs from a regular material reflection.

Workflow improvements in the Function Editor

Learn about the changes in the Function Editor in VUE 2021.2, among them layout improvements, grid snapping and more.

PlantFactory and PlantCatalog integration with Omniverse

Discover the Omniverse extension and connector to PlantFactory and PlantCatalog Exporter.

Redshift materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Maya

Bring your PlantFactory or PlantCatalog plants into Maya with the PlantFactory integration plugin and automatically create native Redshift materials.

Redshift materials for PlantFactory and PlantCatalog plants in Cinema 4D

Any PlantCatalog or PlantFactory plant can be brought into Cinema 4D with native Redshift materials through the integration plugin.

Better topology with axis controls in PlantFactory

Improve your plant model by adjusting the axis spline of segment nodes procedurally and avoiding artefacts in the generated mesh.

#GTC21: Creating and integrating procedural digital nature

Get an overview about VUE's, PlantFactory's & PlantCatalog's procedural workflows and how they can integrate into Omniverse and other pipelines.

Creating Leaf Clusters in PlantFactory

Bake 3D geometry into a leaf cluster texture and then use the newly created leaf cluster component for switching between high-res and low-res leaves.

Export scenes to and create Arnold and V-Ray shaders in Cinema 4D

Discover the *.c4d scene export and the native shader creation for Arnold and V-Ray in Cinema 4D with the VUE and PlantFactory integration plugins.

USD export in VUE & PlantFactory

VUE, PlantFactory and PlantCatalog Exporter support exporting plants, cameras, skies, materials and EcoSystems to USD format.
