Hi Alla, Welcome to Vue! I just got a look at your image, and I really like what you did with it. That tree to the right is paricularly evocative! You're welcome for the tutorials. There are several around. A great place to check for them is right here at Renderosity...follow the link marked "Tutorials" on the right bar, then look at the ones for Vue d'Esprit. Version 4 is currently in beta. There's no official word as to when to expect its release, but my guess would be "soon" -- perhaps as early as April or May, or as late as September. It really all depends on when everything passes inspection. Your freebie included a special upgrade price for 3.1. Owning 3.1 brings a special upgrade price for 4. I imagine that would also apply for going from 2 to 4, so you might want to try to wait and see what happens in the next couple months. (notice I say try -- LOL!) I also began with version 2. I had tried the demo of it for about 20 minutes and was irrevocably hooked. :) Varian
