Creating VUE Files


One of the default Current Renderer options available in the Assign Renderer rollout of the Common panel of the Render Scene dialog box is the VUE File Renderer. This renderer creates VUE files. A VUE file is a text-based script for rendering a scene that you can edit using a text editor.

The contents of a VUE file include keywords followed by a list of parameters. These keywords include objects such as "light" and "camera" and commands such as "transform" and "top." Parameters can include the part name and values separated by commas. Figure 43.9 shows a sample VUE file.

When the VUE File Renderer is selected, the rollout in the Render Scene dialog box includes only a single Files button for giving the VUE file a name.

Caution 

Be sure to use the Files button in the VUE File Renderer rollout and not the Files button in the Common Parameters rollout When a VUE file is rendered, the Rendered Frame Window opens, but no image is created.
