Hi, thank you all for the replies.   I actually had the impression that LightWave was a high end 3D program, and was surprised to find that its current price (for v.9) is only $100 more than Vue 5 (or 6) Infinite.

It seems that Vue is no longer included in LightWave's $795 package, but thank you for the info anyway.

Also, I wonder if Vue Infinite can do modeling work better than Bryce.   I've heard that Bryce does very simple modeling (something like Boolean?), but how's Vue Infinite's modeling capacity?

Can we use Vue to model a simple castle or house?

Thanks!
