Whew, that took a while, over 3 billion polygons. The image does look better but it's still kind of grainy. The colors are still a little bright. I guess what i'm wondering is how the picture in the tutorial looks like an actual photograph. Was it post-processed in photoshop? How can you get rid of the grainyness? My last question, is it possible after creating a scene in vue to blow it up to poster size through a printer? Will the details be lost? Thanks for all your help...
