Vue Alternatives

Vue is described as 'Create vast expanses of terrains, add trees, select the best point of view and render hyper-realistic images of your landscapes in moody atmospheres... in a few mouse clicks' and is a 3D Modeler in the photos & graphics category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Vue for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, PortableApps.com and Haiku. The best alternative is Blender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Vue are Autodesk Maya, Wings 3D, Autodesk 3ds Max and Bforartists.

Vue alternatives are mainly 3D Modelers but may also be VFX Software or 3D Painting Apps. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of Vue.
