You'll find a variety of Vue tutorials, all of them free, that show you several useful tips and tricks to push the boundaries of your creativity.
As companions to the tutorials, we suggest using the booster packs that are available for purchase for around $3.94 each. They include the brushes, models, plants, presets, atmospheres, materials, alpha maps we used in the tutorial they?re paired with, plus some bonuses.
Also, we have additional
booster packs available that are bundles of
atmospheres, materials, models, plans, alpha maps, brushes, and much more.
