You're probably right, Tim. It is an opinion. I will concede that. Here's why I think its pretty close to a reasonable professional assessment, however. I am looking at the feature set contained in Vue versus those in say, ... Bryce, World Construction Set, and the various add-on atmosphere and landscaping sets needed for Max, Maya, and Cinema4D to give them an equivalent capacility. I pick the big programs and Cinema4d because they can come close the the same environmental modelling capability as Vue with a little add-on help. But, $595 a pop is the rate for those add-on sets, and you need several (one for atmoshphere, one for landscaping, one for plant stuff, and so forth.) Bryce is very nice (and I do like it for certain things), but speaking from a technical, professional standpoint, it doesn't have as much of a "feature set" as Vue. That is, "as many controls over its capabilites." (I know, I know, ... artists aren't concerned about the comprehensiveness of a programs "feature set.") Anyhow, this is just meaningless hashing back and forth, and besides the point of your particular needs. Just trying to clarify, and concede to your that you are correct; that it is a more or less technical "opinion." I do wish you good luck and fortune in getting your particular needs addressed. We will all benefit if you do.
