Well, perhaps you must go to the Vue Gallery (or the HOT20), and see for yourself... I use it mainly for rendering Poser scenes 'cos for now I'm not very good at it (take a look to my gallery, I've tried space scenes too :P ), but the kind of work many authors can make with it alone is ASTOUNDING (http://www.thomaskrahn.com or http://www.paroge.com/vde/ are very good examples!).
