Sorry, but I haven't had the time to sit down and render a benchmark scene in both Vue and Poser......and it looks unlikely that I will be able to find the time for a couple of days.
Yes....if you activate all of the bells & whistles that Vue offers for a render -- then you've got a long wait on a complex scene. However, there is no way for P5 to match such a render.
If you are satisfied with Vue's "final" quality render, then you usually shouldn't have very long to wait.
However, if you activate HDRI, etc., etc, etc.........then you are looking at considerably expanded render times.
Under these conditions, it's best to start your render, and then go to bed. Or read a novel.
But I would point out that such extended time periods for renders appear to be the case with nearly all super high-quality renders. At least with current technology.
Once again, I would point out that a successfully rendered scene in Vue beats a locked-up render of the same scene in P5 every time.
I own both programs. I have not started working with Vue4Pro yet, it is sittling in a box on my desk. I am looking for clear comparisons and facts, because I prefer to stay in Poser, but am teased by these claims.
I find this statement to be fascinating.
Personally, whenever I get a new software package delivered -- especially one like Vue 4 Pro -- then the software gets installed onto my PC literally within minutes of my opening the box. I certainly don't leave it sitting on my desk.
Vue 4 Pro is a rather expensive paperweight.
If you've already got the program, then I would strongly suggest giving it a test drive.
BTW -- I've got Vue 4 Pro. I don't have Vue 5. I am waiting on the release of Vue Infinite, the upgrade from Vue 4 Pro.
At some point in the near future, I might try out some benchmark time render tests -- Vue vs. P5.
At the moment, I'll have to request your kind indulgence.
