Vue blows the socks off the P4 render engine in all aspects. But the P5 firefly renderer, combined with clever use of the material room, can have some stunning results. Check richardsons gallery and you'll see what I mean. For closeup skin, Firefly is definitely the better renderer. For larger scenes and realistic lighting, Vue is absolutely much better (Vue 4.5 Pro too). Another big advantage of the Vue render engine is the size and scope of scene it can handle. I can render scenes in Vue with dozens of imported Poser characters in a complex landscape that still look very good, and the best I ever got out of Poser - on a well equipped system! - was about 10 characters, most of them low-poly and with a rather sparse environment.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
