When i first heard of Vue and saw the beautiful and photo-realistic results, i had hopes of assembling scenes in it for export to a 3D immersive web application - although i knew there would be serious issues about lowering polygon counts.

Now i realize that a lot of Vue 5i's beauty comes from procedurals (which are the future of 3D, IMO). But procedurals are not standardized, and are "virtual" objects, not meshes, so many can't be exported. Vue can try to convert procedural stuff into real stuff for export (fractal terrains converted to meshes, etc.) but then the beauty from procedural implementations is lost.

Good for exporting beautiful backdrops, sky boxes, alpha facers (billboards), animations and some objects though.
