well LW is an excellent modelling application, so modell there or perhaps render aswell. Vue would then either render the models from LW combined with the vue landscape/scenery/plants as stills or animated. And in the case of v5I you can sync cameras from LW with v5I, or export content from vue to LW. What i ment is that both aps have their own strenghts and merits, its usualy alot faster and results in a better end product using several apps and letting them do what they are good @ instead of trying to workaround the weaknesses/missing features etc of just one application.
