wabe: now my question is "what is mixed medium?" we all, at some point, import other objects created in different programs. It can be a 3ds file created in 3d studio, a lighwave object and most popularly a poser object. Doesn't it make the image a "mixed medium" when you import a poser figure complete with textures and everything into vue? aren't you "mixing" poser with Vue? if you are looking for "pure vue" images, then shouldn't one use the objects, terrains, trees etc that comes with the program and in that program only? It seems like there is a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion.
