   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

  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 5 years ago

  Thanks! Yes, Booklet is where I spend most of my time. I think it's a big opportunity to have more of a hosted Discourse alternative. I'll work on some comparison pages - thanks for the suggestion. > Is it enough to live off of? I do a little bit of consulting [1] , which bridges the gap. That way, I'm not losing money building the company. Though, all of my products make revenue, and things are doing well in... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Is the Cybersecurity World Ready for Fractional Roles? (We Think Yes)

  Hey Reddit community, Having worked in IT Audit (I mostly audit SaaS companies) for quite some time, I've noticed an interesting puzzle. A lot of small to medium-sized businesses seem to lack dedicated security or compliance roles. Essential tasks get scattered across teams without much oversight and strategy. Sometimes, consulting firms step in, establish necessary controls, formulate policies (you know, to get... Source: about 3 years ago

• Will a platform built on a NoCode platform be taken seriously by investors/incubators?

  A company I loved https://moonlightwork.com/ (which is a shell of its former self) was built with nocode platforms, and then sold for a big chunk of money. The new owner let it fall to shit almost immediately by not seeking out the same high quality leads. Source: about 3 years ago
