Well.... I made this really simplistic still life model. I modelled it in LW. It was just a jug and a glass and a few other simple things. I rendered it in LW and also exported it as a LW 5 .lwo model (so Vue could import it), and set up the materials very similarly---as closely as I could, considering the input methods. I rendered with both programs, and got similar results, but in all honesty, I thought the Vue version was better--it certainly was considerably easier and quicker to get good results. The LW version came out very good too, but with ALOT of trial and error. I certainly am not knocking LW... I really want to buy it, even moreso now since using it, but I guess I'm just saying I think Vue is far more user-friendly and intuitive. :)
