Thanks Flywaver! I've read it again and I still mostly stand by my comments about it featuring a lot of emphasis on what it can't do and not enough on what the new features are (especially metablobs, text and procedural terrains). I do still disagree with the "lite" analogy as the Esprit line is actually the original program, and Pro doesn't have nearly as many "extra" features as the review implies. I actually use both versions in my free time and for work and the only time I really miss any of the Pro features is when I need to update a model in the original software it was created in (Pro recognizes when you modify the model and will update it if you want). I suppose when I compare it to Bryce 5 (It's closest competitor for quite a while) even given that Bryce is a few years out of date there's still a lot more I like about Vue than Bryce (I can't stand Bryce's interface), and none of the things that were brought up as negatives in the review were things that (at least as far as I'm aware of) are available in Bryce or any of the comparable softwares (I could be way off on this as I haven't tried Carrera and my experience with Worldbuilder's interface was horrible to put in mildly). Thanks for posting the link! Regards :)
