I can't agree with these last posts : it's hard to obain realistic pictures (prefer to say "quality"), but it's not an excuse to produce low quality pic ! to produce flat landscapes has also no real interest ... It's of course possible to produce high quality pic with Vue ! There are some from time to time. Photorealism is an other level of difficulty, the problem is rendering time. As I said in an other thread, we all are interested by artistic scenes, a photorealistic picture with one sphere has not a real interest for us (has only a technical value). But An other point is that it seems strange to me that some here do not consider photo as an art ...
