I have noticed over saturation in carrara, but this is easily corrected and frankly that is totally relative to individual taste. Depends on the point. People make the art using the tools so depends on who is using it. There is alot of old work here and it is limited.There really should be more Carrara work out there no doubt. Vue has a graininess everywhere I don't care for.Go to eovia's site and check out the gallery there. Again some things are relative. Some scenes may appear complex when they don't require near the skill of a seemingly more simple scene.I can't say I have seen any overly impressive Vue scenes either w/ rare exception so not sure what your comparing it to. Can't really model in Vue whereas in Carrara you can despite what Gweb tells you :D.Obviously, you'll have to decide for yourself what works for you.

No need to think outside the box....
