I got my hands on a pre-release version of Vue 9.5 and it’s got some cool new features, including: Advanced Cloud Control, Interactive Texture Placement, Localized Cloud Layers, Fast Hybrid Depth of Field, and even a Velocity Pass (great for post processed motion blur). After playing with it a bit …

I thought I’d share this with you all. This is an example of a easy technique to create a colour palette for what ever project you happen to be working on (web pages, print jobs, logos, etc). The image below kinda speaks for itself but basically find an image you …
