VUE has an advanced atmospheric engine allowing you to create impressive skies with multiple cloud layers. You can pick a pre-defined atmosphere of course, but if you want to craft a specific cloudscape that compliments your terrain, it's vital to comprehend the atmosphere editor as well as learning how to light the scene.

Karen Reedstrom is a long standing VUE artist AND a trained meteorologist who has worked for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. National Weather Service. With her specialised background she will provide you additional depth in this VUE course on creating Stunning Skies. She'll include the teaching of cloud types and atmospheric conditions so you can achieve more realistic and attractive scenes in Vue.

VUE's EcoSystem is a powerful way of populating scenes with millions of objects, such as trees, stones and plants. It increases the natural details and complexity in a scene when providing a fast way to build up a beautiful environment. However it does pay to be efficient when using the EcoSystem and Karen Reedstrom, award winning Vue artist and product vendor, shows you how - saving on processing time and memory. She goes through over 10 scenic examples giving you an in-depth tour of the EcoSystem and EcoPainter. Closely aligned with the Ecosystem tool is the particle system; Karen also provides a step by step introduction to this.

Karen is using VUE xStream 2016 and the principles she teaches are compatible with the current version.
