Ozone... good for generating some HDR skies, but the connection plugin
for Soft is crappy. Can crash on load or save, is modal... handle with
care, if at all.

If you want to save yourself some major headaches I recommend keeping
your hands off of Vue and related products (e.g. Ozone, Carbon
Scatter).
I and others I know have given it a shot in the past repeatedly and
every single time were turned off by poor stability.
I've heard better things of Terragen, but I admit I have never used it.
Thanks Nick and Jordi,
I will check out scatter tools now.
Jordi I agree completely with what you say, and at One Animation I
usually only get about 1 to 2 weeks to develop anything. So I am very
willing to try an out of box solution.
I started playing with Vue Extreme today, it seems pretty powerful,
but wow its not enjoyable at all to use, I will keep experimenting
with it until i understand it better.
I will also try world builder now thanks to your recommendation.

Milan Vasek’s Scatter Tools are my best friend when it comes to this
sort of stuff. https://vimeo.com/36612233
He has created some pretty astounding imagery with them also

More advanced stuff that uses libraries of assets would have been
used by the folks at Whiskytree, Steve Caron might be able to
elaborate.
But if you combine Scatter tools with Arnold instancing you pretty
much have the best solution out of the box in my opinion.

Subject: Set Dressing Tool Ideas
Hey everyone,
I was hoping to pick your brains.
I am currently doing some research on how to simplify, and make
cheaper our set dressing process over at this small shop that I work
at.
In the old days, when we did small simple shows, set dressing wasn't
very difficult for us as there were limited amounts of props and
environment pieces. We would just import referenced models and
place them by hand/
But now that we do full forests and large amounts of rocks and plant
life, we need to upgrade our techniques. As our original techniques
are no longer sufficient.
I am looking at how ICE can help us with the initial set dressing.
Maybe by painting weight maps we can spawn different types of
mushrooms and trees etc.
I am currently experimenting with Dart Throw, and it looks very
promising. Thanks Julian!
Although I need to figure out how to get it to switch between
different geo types, IE. Trees, mushrooms, etc. Currently I can
only get it to spawn one geo type at a time.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how we could simplify
this stuff, as I said before, currently I am looking at Dart throw
and ABScatter to see if they can help us out, but I am open minded.
Has anyone tried Vue Studio or anything similar that they can
recommend?
best,
Enrique
