If I had the scratch I would get the Lightwave deal there but I do not. Lightwave actually is my favorite top end program. The biggest drawback is all the bad things I have heard about the dongle they use for copy protection. But Vue 5I by itself is not something I would shell out that kind of money for. Remember too there are many great thigns about Bryce and we don't go trolling your boards talking about them. The shaders in Bryce are more varied and can do more. Volumetric materials are handled better. I use volumetrics in over half my pics. Great for fogs, nebula, rocks or just plain weirdenss. Vue is good overall for making realistic scenes but it seems that I have seen little that was truly out of the norm there seems to be no way to go to the surreal. Realism is fine but sometimes you want to make moutain ranges out of pudding.
