At spherevfx we have a single Vue 9 course which is aimed at the beginner to intermediate artist and covers all aspects of the software.

If you need a customised course specifically for your requirements please give us a call and we would be delighted to build a course just for you at no extra cost.

Like all our courses we will train on site at your facility and along side a live project if required. All our staff are production trained and able to work with you to train your artist quickly and efficiently.

Vue 9 is the most efficient and advanced solution for creating, animating and rendering natural 3D environments.

It offers a high-end 3D scenery solution for SFX studios, animators, illustrators, architects, matte painters and CG professionals. It is strongly focused on power, productivity and inter-operability with existing toolkits.

Vue 9 naturally integrates and extends all major 3D applications to provide a complete, professional natural 3D studio.
