nixx-vfx...go look in the galleries if you want to see Vue 5 in the hands of true masters....Czarnyrobert for 1, several others I can't recall off the top of my head. The only difference In the Pro version & V4-V5 is the lighting & animation & plant editor. I can edit my own plants by scanning leaves etc & applying them..no biggie...I'm not into animation, so I don't care...Lighting I consider VERY crucial.

You stated all scenes look like Vue...well when I look at pics quite frankly I can tell if they are done in Vue/Bryce/Poser/3dsmax etc...it's all obvious unless you are a master and there are so few of those. IMHO...only Pixar are Disney(only Pixar lately) I can't tell what they have used ;)

So, IMHO...your review is less than accurate. IMHO you should take more time & explore the program for a few months maybe then make your review :) As for what it can't do...well there are other softwares out there that allow for weather/particle effects etc(I'd prefer to save on render time thank you :)...Postwork works fine for me.
