Hi Vasseur7, I use both professionally. If you're ONLY going to do landscapes with pre-made models, Vue may be your best option. It's truely a dedicated, landcaping piece of software magic. If you're going to do any kind of model creation, character creation or scene building with original content, then Carrara is a better choice. Carrara is awesome. In my experience, Vue still holds the edge over Carrara with natural environmental settings. BUT - Carrara creates exceptional landcapes too. Both Carrara Pro and Vue Infinite have network rendering which is invaluable. Both programs have excellent render engines but Carrara currently has Subsurface Scattering, Translucency, Saved Lightmaps plus other lighting effects that Vue currently does not. Oviously, I use both because the complement one another for my studio's needs. There are finer points I and others can discuss about this topic, but the afore mentioned stuff is the highlights. Mark
