   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

  - Workona for tab management. I used this a few years ago with reasonable success; only stopped because I didn't need it badly enough at the time. I've been struggling with tabs lately and remembered it yesterday; I've reinstalled it and I'm very pleased so far. I'm a web developer and like to hop between projects, and for each thing I'm doing, I keep a million tabs open... And now that I have a hybrid work... Source: about 2 years ago

• Looking for an app that may save windows arrangement with specific apps and chrome urls and multiple monitors?

  I'm pretty sure that there won't be one single app to solve it all so I'm gonna try to address the Crome part. For that, you can use Workona or Cluster. Source: over 2 years ago

  Ps: If you use Chrome, you should really check out Workona tabs manager. It's been free forever but I got a message today that they finally are going paid with a limited free version. All Workspaces created before Oct 6th remain free they said. It's been a god-send being able to organize all the different topics separately for work, learning, research etc, especially during this.

  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
