Yes- it seems pretty ODD to me that someone is considering VUE 5 to do their MAJOR ANIMATION PROJECT! (heh!) NOT WORTH even trying to address that any further... The above Roman Villa is a VERY LARGE scene that the HDRI lighting is calculating. There are beautiful soft shadows throughout the entire building complex (if you could only see the higher-rez details in the original render- plus the soft shadows that are lost when this image was reduced and JPG'ed fairly heavily.) Its an extremely beautiful image to look at when you can look closely into all the details. For me, Vue 5 is doing an INCREDIBLE job and completely worth the cost of $149! Hollywood often renders just a car in a larger STILL scene (frame by frame) so the only object needing rendering is just the CAR- not the majority of the scene. As many know- Hollywood animators render fore-grounds, backgrounds, etc.- often by independent rendering teams, and then they are composited together LATER by another TEAM. Its a LOT of TEAM RENDERING on ultra-fast SGI machines and rendering farms...
