E-on Software's Vue 6 Revealed [Paperback]

Richard H. Schrand (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 19, 2006 | ISBN-10: 1598633473 | ISBN-13: 978-1598633474 | Edition: 001

While there are numerous websites that support Vue, there is no one, essential guide that puts it all together. e-On Software's Vue Revealed is that book! It is filled with step-by-step projects that methodically teach students how to get the most out of Vue. Each project-driven chapter is written in a casual, easy-to-follow style. As Vue is primarily a landscape and interior design program, students will learn how to create high-end stills and videos for use on the Internet, broadcast, and film. They will conquer the basics of the Vue software and will discover tricks for completing complex scenes and modifying elements for those scenes in new ways. This book is designed to follow the syllabus currently used by the author, while expanding on the depth of the program through concise, clearly conceived and methodical project driven chapters.

This review is from: E-on Software's Vue 6 Revealed (Paperback)

This book is a great help to beginners and those new to Vue 6. Even if you have been using Vue for a while, there are some well worthwhile tutorials that cover the new abilities in Vue 6 - Godrays, hyperextures, spectral atmospheres, and layered textures are all well covered. This book covers all versions of Vue 6, not just Vue 6 Infinite. Yes, the graphics would have looked better in color, but I liked the price of the book. Don't forget to check out the web site listed in the book for the free additional chapter and the project files!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good solid start for beginners with Vue 6, May 19, 2007

If you, like me, learn best by following project-based tutorials, you'll love this book. It's like having an experienced friend walk you through each area of Vue, step by step. Learn by doing. Exercises are easy to follow, logically paced. For the first time, I feel like I know what I'm doing, and I have Mr. Schrand to thank.

Let's hope the publisher has him do a book on advanced topics next!

Edit 01/24/08: This book has been out for over a year, and it's looking like the publisher is never going to post the online content referred to in the book. This is a book that is totally black and white AND comes with no CD. Example files mentioned by the author are not available. I'd rather pay 10-15 bucks more and get color photos along with a CD. Will be avoiding books from this publisher from now on.

I expected a complicated book but instead I find a very easy to use book. It is not for the experienced Vue 6 User and you will not find very complicated and advanced learning but you can improve your skills and make the most of the book.
