Keyboard shortcuts on Vue Infinite/xStream

As for my knowledge and almost all CG artist know Vue is a 3D software that is package for creating, animating and rendering of a natural 3D environments.

This is just a very quick and very basic on Vue as I go along learning on Vue like the move, rotate, scale, zoom, pan tool on keyboard and mouse shortcuts.

Move tool

Click the any object, camera or lights then hit letter M on keyboard the manipulators of the move tool will show or when you click any object the move function is by default.

Rotate tool

Click the any object, camera or lights then hit letter R on keyboard and the manipulators of the rotate tool will show.

Scale tool

Click the any object, camera or lights then hit letter S on keyboard and the manipulator of the scale tool will show.

Zoom Tool

Just hit and hold control (Ctrl) on your keyboard and the hit and hold the Right-Click Button on your mouse then scrub your mouse to zoom in and zoom out your viewport.

Pan Tool

Hit and hold Right-Click Button on your mouse and pan your viewport.

And that its. I’m sure you will save a little time on doing your scene on Vue. And you can also create/replace your own keyboard shortcut just go to File>Options and on the Operations Tab and double-click the any commands you want to change or add under Keyboard shortcuts.

Will post again soon on Vue.

Photoshop Tip 1: Dragging image layer on the same position on new image

There’s a lot of tips out there in Photoshop but here’s one and hope many more to come.

Ok, I got here a template of watermark with the image size of 800 x 600 pixel and one of our product render with a  image size of 800 x 600 pixels.

1. Left Click the ‘move tool’ or ‘V’ in keyboard.

2. Hold the Left Click+Shift (on keyboard) the image layer ‘3ds Max’ named then drag it to the ‘DiningRoomScene1.jpg’

Now you have placed the watermark in the same position.

You can use this tip in several ways that can make your time quicker in dragging on the same position in the same size of image.
