To me, it's the opposite. Vue is the one with the crisper renders, which is actually why I switched from Bryce. I always found Bryce to be not so crisp with no way to shut that off, no matter how I played with the settings. In Vue, you can shut off the atmospheric effects so that the image is chrystal clear with vibrant colors, such as agiel's image above, or you can have a very painterly degree of atmospheric effects to fit the mood. The choice is up to the artist, which is what I like about Vue.
