Impact
Several Hollywood and game studios, as well as independent industry artists, have
used QuadSpinner in their productions. A variety of professionals from other sectors
- including academia, advertising, aeronautics, aerospace, architecture, geology,
and the armed forces - have also relied on our tools and training materials.
Our
hands-on approach to understanding nature and
adapting real world principles to the digital realm has created a revolution in
the Vue community. Knowing that thousands of artists develop their skills with our
tutorials and expand their art with our
breakthrough innovations
is incredibly rewarding.
"Not only is Dax extremely gifted, he has the rare ability to think outside the
box.
"He has developed truly innovative Vue techniques that have inspired numerous Vue
artists,
professional and amateur alike. His high-quality line of products for Vue demonstrates
his fascination with nature's beauty and complexity, and his commitment to
exploring and developing new ways to recreate it with 3D graphics."

Realistic Procedural Terrains
"This is one tutorial where each time you see it, you will learn more and more.
Another example of a great and informative tutorial by Dax Pandhi!"
Capturing the Brilliance of Light
"If you are a Vue fan, this [...] is a must. He is so clear and concise that this
is
easy to do. He doesn't gloss over small changes so that you don't know how to go
from
point A to B when on your own. It is incredibly easy to follow what he does and
his explanations
give you the tools to apply his principles and techniques to your own work."
The Beauty of Strata
"Until I followed Dax Pandhi's new Training video, I was at a loss how to use it
correctly.
Sure, I experimented with it, but my results were hit and miss. After spending a
morning on his tutorial, I was amazed at the results I could get."
Mighty HyperTerrains
"Brilliant is the best word to describe [their] training videos. This tutorial is
so well put together that all the basic facts remained and I could immediately create
rocks that I had never been able to create before. Not only could I create them,
but I could control what I did because he made it so clear."

"Very informative and inspiring; one of the best I've seen. I learned a great deal
and have so much more to learn. You have a rare combination of being both a great
artist and a great teacher.
"I've been going through your tutorial step-by-step and I'm terribly impressed with
how important those little details you've discovered and shared are. I really had
no idea Vue was capable of creating such nicely detailed terrains - and its been
sitting right under my fingertips! This will help me tremendously with my work,
so thank you so much once again.
"You've rocked my world!"
Gregory D. Moore
"Incidentally, Pandhi has spent years using Vue, and his tutorial videos give you
direct access to his remarkable insight into this product. If you're going to get
the most out of Vue, we highly recommend that you check out QuadSpinner's tutorials.
Quite simply, there are many aspects to developing realistic scenes that you cannot
acquire by intuition. Some techniques require teaching, and Pandhi's approach is
pleasant, interesting, and enlightening."

"I was close to trashing Vue. I just couldn't get the images that I was looking
at online
and in the movies and was very discouraged. Your training videos are superb
and I encourage you to continue the great work."
Michael Reiser
"[The training] doesn’t suffer from long pauses for renders or covering mundane
tasks unrelated to achieving the tasks covered. This is an issue that plagues some
video tutorials I’ve seen and I’m thankful it isn’t an issue with any of the makers
of Vue’s video tutorials. Dax has a good, clear speaking voice which remains easy
to listen to and follow throughout."
