"What exactly is SolidGrowth...can the plants actually/realistically be animated as growing(ie. flower petal opening, vine growing)?" I am not into animation and not sure if this can be done, but I think so as there is example of animated morphing in the Vue manual. Guess it takes some figuring out as how to do it. "SolidGrowth" is very unique from E-on, it just that for each same vegetation type you plant in your scene layout, it has slight variation or shall I say, different for each similiar vegetation. For more examples of Vue images, do visit the Vue gallery and you do find Vue does a very good job for its price. Btw, not sure what you meant by high-quality Vue image...it be clearer if you can link us to an example. Bill
