so, i saw the sample images that included a hill, a sky and some water i think, exported from v4 pro. are there any other pics that were exported from pro into other apps? anyone doing anything cool with exporting? thanks, ren

I reckon the exporting facility is of limited use, never got good results yet. Only thing I can think to use it for is to export a LW mesh (& keep it invisible in LW) to aid with compositing. Vue not only renders it's own scenes better but much, much faster, I find I get the best results letting each application render what its best at then composite them together. THE big thing (for me) with Vue Pro is the LW to Vue camera synchronisation. Very nice.

hmm... i have vue d'esprit for terrains, and ozone will be a nice add-on, but i'm looking for reasons to buy v4 pro and i'm just not seeing any reason to. thanks for the honesty! ren

DMM, I'm looking into the very same things - glad to hear the synchronization works, haven't tested it yet. Today I'll be getting XFrog, which everyone seems to recommend around here. Which compositing program to you use? I'm considering Prometheus/FX, it's fairly cheap and seems to do the trick. The others (Combustion, AE, DF) costs a months salary...well, mine, anyway... :(

Well until I leave college & get a job I do my compositing in Lightwave. If I can't manage the job with the background/foreground functions then I simply build a multi-layered setup & map each element to its appropriate layer. LW is fantastic, you can build a compositing rig in Modeller & actually use it : )

LOL - never thought of that! Might just give it a try first...how cool, thanks for the input.
