I just bought Vue 4 Pro, and am happily zipping along with it. I use Lightwave and Cinema 4D as well, so I'm finding it pretty simple to at least get a basic grasp on the program. I do have a question which is not addressed in the manual, though. Is it possible to make "genuine" Vue plants? In other words, I know it's possible to import plants from other programs, but is it possible to dig deeper and actually make adjustable plants that you can tweak in the vue editor, etc, like you can buy from e-on? Or is that off limits? I onlty ask because I'm really interested in making a wide variety of very alien plant forms, and if I could add them to the Vue system, making and adding alternates would be a lot more efficient.....

In Pro you can - double-click on an existing plant and use the plant editor. I am not a big manual reader therefore i can't point to the page but i am nearly sure that you find it in the manual. Look for the plant editor chapter.

Maybe Guitta can asnwer this. As far a I know Vue uses it's very own generator to create the plants. Therefore I doubt that it will work with imported plants. You can import them, but you won't be able to edit them in Vue (e.g. adding branches), besides changing their textures and size. But as I said, Guitta might have the answer. :) Phil

Right Phil, you cannot edit imported plants in Vue. But Vue's plant editor has such a power that you can create a wide range of plants in there. The wind features can add some more to these plants, also in still images. Guitta

NO YOU CAN NOT. You can only edit the plants they give you ie longer, wider, or gnarl (whatever the hell that means) the branches or the leaves and thats it... It's pretty dissapointing the upgrade doesn't seem worth it.

Vue 4 Pro is not an upgrade, it is a stand alone, completely different program from Vue d'Esprit. And YES! you can, in editing the existing plants, create thousands of completely new and different plants.

GNARL means that you can give knots and all sorts of protuberances to your stems.

Disappointing only for people who don't know or don't want to learn to use the features:-)
