Tech





QuadSpinner's Material Development Kit is a comprehensive set of proto-tools that enables artists to quickly create powerful fractal materials without having to concoct complex fractal functions. The MDK extends several features that are not native to Vue.

The first generation MDK consists of -

  Tincture: a color production system
  LightBender: an anisotropic and rim-lighting hybrid
  Supernoi: a hybrid Voronoi fractal generator
  CrackMaker: a complex rock distress pattern generator
  RockBreaker: a powerful rock displacement generator

HyperTerrains

A unique breakthrough in 2006 led to the conception of the HyperTerrains™ technique: a method of moving beyond the limited topography-only height maps to create fractal-infused rocks, mountains, arches, caves, and other natural rock formations.




HyperBlobs

An extension of the HyperTerrains™ technique, HyperBlobs are now an official feature of Vue. HyperBlobs create granular and organic shapes fractally which would normally take hundreds of hours to sculpt manually.




BlackHaze

The BlackHaze technique reformats Vue's default atmosphere settings to achieve a look closer to nature's mechanics and allows the user greater control. The method also permits deeper integration of how Global Radiosity manages direct sunlight and ambient skylight.
