siggraph07. and e.on

Hot on the heels of the siggraph vue 6.5 unveiling e.on decided to release the public 6.5 build, it´s what´s called an interim update and it´s free of charge for every vue6 user.

The v6i, 6.5 release gives us even better and more natural looking atmospheres to play with, or atleast it give´s us even better tools to play with, creating our own atmospheres, so no guaranteed results as with anything creative :) heck, the create art button is still not there, but anyway, this is a realy nice update and it also fixes some issues that´s been around in previous v6 updates.

But the main thing is the improvements made to the atmosphere editor and how lights affects cloudlayers.

doing a small qoute.

New features in 6.5:

- Create skies with as many overlapping spectral cloud layers as you like for complex and unbelievably realistic cloudscapes!
- Revolutionary new cloud lighting technology that lets local lights affect spectral atmospheres and clouds!
- Create true-to-life thunder storms, search lights or illuminated fly through clouds.
- Render spectral atmosphere animations significantly faster thanks to the optimized spectral atmosphere anti-flickering technology!
