Have just spent several days playing with my new Vue 4. I tend to agree that, if vegetation is where you're going, it far exceeds Terragen. But I'll have to see if the sky/terrain capabilities of Vue can do some of the astounding things I've seen done with Terragen. As for the interface... well... I have Poser, Terragen, Blender, Lightwave 7.5, and have played with Anim8tor and a few other lightweights. I think it's a very nice interface, theoretically, but with the following observed problems: 1) Vue distance inits have no relationship with reality that I know of. Kinda like Poser that way. Why can't folks trying to do 3D modeling software understand the foot or the meter? 2) I run a 3 gig CPU with 3/4Gig of RAM and a display board that supports Open GL. I STILL have to wait up to ten seconds to get my display updated after a trial-and-error attempt to rotate an imported Poser model. And then the display sure as heck doesn't look like Open GL, even though I clicked the box on the appropriate options page. Anybody have any ideas why this might be happening? Despite not being able to figure out x/y/z in Vue (no sweat in Poser or Lightwave) nor understanding just how Vue sets its rotation axes (roll, pitch, yaw) it IS possible to import a Poser figure and even innovate a way to fit it into a Vue terrain/veggie environment. T'aint simple, and very time consuming. Can anybody say if Vue 5 or Vue Pro would help me out? Thanx for listening...
