e-on software, the leading publisher in natural 3D scenery software, announces the forthcoming release of the fifth iteration of Vue/Esprit, its award winning scenery rendering and animation software for casual and advanced digital artists. Vue 5 Esprit will add a long list of superior realism features for the creation of ultra natural 3D graphics.

"Vue 5 Esprit represents a major advance in making possible, easy, and affordable, the creation, rendering and animation of natural 3D scenery. But Vue isn't only about amazing technology, it's about the natural world and letting digital artists decide how much of it they want in their work without having to fight an interface," said Nicholas Phelps, president of e-on software.

Vue 4 has established itself as the easiest and most powerful 3D scenery creation package on the market. With this new iteration, e- on software sets the new standard in realism and ease-of-use, and comforts its position as the world leader in 3D scenery software.

Vue 5 Esprit will be available in English, French, German and Japanese for Macintosh OS X and Windows 2000/XP, with an estimated street price of $249. A complete list of new features will be released shortly.

Vue 5 Esprit will maintain compatibility with Mover 5, e-on software's popular animation expansion pack for Vue d'Esprit 4 and Vue 4 Professional.
