It has been anticipated and recently QuadSpinner has released the Material Development Kit for Vue. “The groundbreaking Vue Material Development Kit 1.0 from QuadSpinner is finally available. Dax Pandhi’s (Quadspinner) Material Development Kit is a comprehensive set of proto-tools that enables artists to quickly create powerful fractal materials without having to concoct complex fractal functions.”
The MDK extends several features that are not native to Vue and includes Tincture, LightBender, Supernoi, CrackMaker, and RockBreaker. More information for the Material Development Kit for Vue is available on the MDK page.
The first generation MDK consists of:
- Tincture: a color production system
- LightBender: an anisotropic and rim-lighting hybrid
- Supernoi: a hybrid Voronoi fractal generator
- CrackMaker: a complex rock distress pattern generator
- RockBreaker: a powerful rock displacement generator
