I finally got my hand on the demo. Creating landscapes is easier than I thought it would be. I'm used to 3DS Max so getting used to Vue will take a little bit. I like the way you can control the shakyness of the camera movement. The way I tried to do a shaky handheld shot in 3DS Max was to add a noise modifier to the camera where as in Vue all you gotta do is adjust the vibration intesity in the Animation wizard roll out. I guess I take it that if I am doing a vehicle animation, I have animate the wheels seperately? Render times does take a little bit especially when I use the global radiosity instead of the regular atmospheric template. Although the regular atmosphere templates, to me, make the environment look somewhat realistic. I guess my goal is to create animations that are somewhat realistic, not like anything from Final Fantasy The Spirits Within which by the way is an awesome CG movie. I may buy this software pretty soon. It reminds of the good old Bryce 5 days. But this is way better.
