   VUE A-Z

   I became a VUE artist, when VUE 5 was released, and eventually went up the ladder to V.15 Complete. And , where I got tired of waiting hours, to create that "Perfect picture." And , why VUE failed miserably as an animation tool. VUE, for all it's improvements and changes, was basically stuck in the 90's, and still using the archaic frame building architecture found in WINDOWS . AVI. . IF , I wanted to animate anything, IT was going to be limited, and a VERY slow process. I.E. A two minute Ocean Sim, would take days to render, and the output, at best. COOL. but, with the brutally long, render times; IT basically became an expensive, worthless tool.

   Would I still recommend this for beginners? - YES, for the simple reason, it introduces them 3-D modeling, and scene development. IT'S also a good tool for matte artists, because creating a simple PHOTO REAL background ,takes very little time.

   OVER the years, though, I found the software, was real flakey, and prone to crashing. SO, in the end, I simply got tired of the nonsense, and moved on. I USE UNREAL 5 now, and it's a totally different world. I can create, and a fully animated scene, in a matter of minutes... and in full 3D , and with pre-animated objects. IT was game changer.

   SO, final words? I would give VUE a plug , for ease of use, and stunning photo real output, but, would not be my choice for an animation solution. Just, by it's design.

   I simply had too many bad experiences with the software. I hope the company focuses more on system stability, instead of adding MORE tweaks. MY assessment of V6.I , was very mixed. IT crashed constantly, yet, eventually was stable enough to use. V.9 , compete was an amazing program, and that's where E-ON got it right. Where they got it wrong, was the product was NOT affordable for the average user, and was also a factor; in me dropping the platform.

   🏁 Competitors: Unreal Engine

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use

• More of my AMIGA coverdisks magazines

  It says right there: "Play God with the ultimate landscape generator" and that's what it did. You generate a random terrain, mould it to how you want it, set the levels of trees, water, grass, type of sky etc, set the camera position, and then it would render it for you. These days there are many more options: Terragen, Vue, World Machine, World Creator, Instant Terra, Bryce. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What's the best way to make a 360 virtual tour 100% free?

  In regards to software and hosting, https://kuula.co comes to mind. Never used it myself. I would also recommend watching, observing and learning from Mr. Ben https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ennYbERPjbU . Source: 11 months ago

• Tips to get started with virtual tours

  I was doing apartment locating and made my own 360° tours with Ricoh Theta V and hosting through Kuula for $16/mo. Better model Ricohs have come out, but this was simple to use other than being finicky at times with connection. Source: over 1 year ago

• Interactive Walkthrough

  Alternatively, there are some free platforms online, such as Kuula. Not as flexible as 3DVista, but there are free/more cost effective options here. This is a good place to start in terms of testing 360 tours and then go from there. Source: over 1 year ago

• Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome!

  That's really nice idea. I've never done that, but I found there are some tutorials on youtube how to do this. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOd_VYOKMm0 He seem to be using this site to compose 360 images into tour https://kuula.co/. Source: over 1 year ago

• insta360 X3 for Real estate photography

  One X2 here. Not a RE person. I created some virtual tours using the X2 videos and HDR photos, and stills and videos from my Note20U using kuula. It was my parents house and my rehab contractor seemed to go out of their way to do a crappy job. So I created virtual tours highlighting every issue. The punch list / script had over a hundred items. Sorry, can't share the results at this point... hope you... Source: over 1 year ago
