I sent an e-mail to asileFX regarding one of his news solidegrowth tree ,and he let me know that he’s also working on a grass pack.
Nicholas Pellegrino :
"I’m working on a grass pack right now, should hopefully have it
done today. Something has to be done about the native Vue grass 
"
Grass?
There are two SolidGrowth grass packages at Cornucopia3D aleready. From Incredibly Lush (Linda).
“Grassy Places” and “High Grasses”.
Maybe you look into that, they are top quality.
I know,you are right.But I like Nicholas Pellegrino’s training videos, I own alot of his products ,You can’t go wrong with AsileFX.

The grass pack is out… take a look.
I guess for the very basic stuff sure. But I’ve found his advanced videos seriously lacking. After spending over 100 bucks on them (as a package deal) and not learning one new thing, I know I’d never buy from them again. So little technique, mostly just browsing around the controls and talking about how they work. Little to none real world application.
And especially AisleFX customer support was so bad. I tried emailing them and they wouldn’t return several subsequent requests for answers. They are the only Vue vendor I’ve had trouble with.
I will Agree that I was dessapointed with one of his trainig Videos… Advanced terrain creation !
After JUST THE FIRST video ,I was asking my self where’s the terrain creation ? The whole training was about the function editors with on like 3 examples of some rocks :sad: .
But he never actually created any real world rock/Terrains, only what might be possible ? I was greatly dessapointed by that one. But the rest are good to get your head around Vue.
For the more practical stuff… No one other then geekatplay comes close to real world stuff !! and I aslso bought your Terrapak a few weeks back chipp
Wow, Vue really lacks on high quality video/film training … Isn’t what we all wanted to create with the software? or do we want that Bryce looking computer looking renders on most Vue Gallerys :shrug:
I hate to mention it but Terragen might kick Vue’s but when it comes to terrain (not plant) stuff. If I’m wrong then show me the killer view gallerys other then the ones fron e-on web site.
I’ll upload the little I have done with Vue when I get back from work…later. nothing major just trying not to creat Bryce with Vue

LVS - Where Learning Is Fun!
No gnomon training yet, Lynda.com has some I think, but I would definitely bet on Peggy’s online classes.
That AsileFX grass looks awesome, except for one grass that has a real bad alpha.
Combined with Linda’s Lush bundles, grass has never been greener on the Vue side.
AsileFx was the way for me to go, when the pdf in view document was getting me borred.
But after getting like 4 of his training videos …I’m looking forward to more then (" here’s what you’ll find in views interface")
Everytime I see a Vue Training video it’s usually “here’s how t move an object” ?.. or my favorite one …"we’ll show you how to import an object in Vue ? what the hell ?
Where’s the advanced real world stuff ? I know that geekatplay has some…but who else ?

A little too small video window but great stuff.
bruno021I said : meant on Vue6, the gnomon DVD is on Vue5.

Check out these too:

Meant for Vue5, but the function editor hasn’t changed since Vue5, so go for it!
I posted a list of sites with Vue tutes a few month back http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=4457712&postcount=5
Hi Chipp,
I was unable to download the TerrainRoads tutorial or the Modeling using Python Scripts. I prefer to downloading them as opposed to watching online as I like to stop often and try out the ideas in Vue. I find it easier to study in an offline formant viewing in Quicktime as then I don’t need to keep the web page open which often gets lost as I need to use the browser for other activities.
Well, thanks for these tutorials as well as your other very useful Vue products,
Greg
