Darren Price:
My name is Darren Price and I whilst I consider myself a 3D artist and animator, I’m also an engineer. Whist I originally hail from the UK, I now live just outside Wellington on New Zealand’s Kapiti Coast. I’ve been using 3D packages for over twenty years now, all the way back to the Commodore Amiga.
I first came across Vue as a cover mounted disc on a copy of the UK computer magazine, PC Format. That was Vue d'Esprit 2 and I’ve been using Vue ever since. I currently use Vue 10 Infinite thanks
