Hi This is the 1st and only graphics image I've ever made. It's nowhere near done but I no longer have access to Vue 2. Having a financial status roughly like the proverbial church mouse it might be a year or two before I can buy Vue but buy it I will, I love it and think the images look so much better than WCS or AWB. I managed to get VistaPro4 on ebay for $8 and, well neat, "it ain't the same". Critique is welcome and yes I know the island is floating. TIA

Hi TIA, There is always a first time and I believe that this is done with Vue 2. I really do not know what to say that you have to wait that long to get yourself a proper Vue copy. Anyway, look around, for all you knoe, there may be contest around that has Vue as one of their prizes :) About your image, I am not sure what Vue credibility is compare to Vue 3 or 3.2. I never had Vue 2, neither testedthe demo, as I never wanted it at that time, even till Vue 2.+ was out. I bought Vue 3 from e-on the day it came out. I find that the palm coconut looks like they are done on a plane and does not looks right as if. I believe you are limited by the demo not having that vegetation, so are some of the other vegetation. If so, I admire your effort in trying to do it. As for the terrain. it looks kind of "flat" and lack perspective. It has something to do with the illusion from the same texturing. Have this feeling that its a cut and paste job. Anyway, if you make a next attempt, it is better to have two or more difference terrain put together or line up from the back...and use different texture scaling to get that 'dimensional' feel of near and far. The water is fine, I like it but the terrain somewhat dont quite fit the combination. Forget about the 'risty' textured sphere and the 'pyramid'..I know what you are getting at but it as make the overall composition worst. Hope you find what I say as useful...its all IMHO of course. I hope you can have Vue soon with some luck as I know you are very limited with the demo version. Not sure if there is a Vue 3 demo...may be that can help you better this piece of enthusiatic effort of yours. All the best for the final pic. Bill Tesign
