Well in the main in Vue you can IMPORT a great many formats of objects, some textured, and some you have to texture within Vue, while Terragen allows none of this behavior. What you can do in Terragen, leaving out postwork, is simply terrains/landscapes/seascapes. TG2 is supposedly coming out soon and will allow the importation of other objects but I am unclear as to whether the Free Version will. I seriously doubt it as they would have no reason to charge for the registered ver. otherwise. Don't get me wrong.....Terragen is an awesome terrain/landscaper with great abilities in that regard, but only in that area of modelling. From what I've gathered the registered ver may well cost as much a Vue without the integration to other apps minus the object import. Vue5Infinite will, in it's current version, quite successfully import Poser figures and animation (it's advertised but I haven't tried it as I only tried the demo and didn't have poser at the time), fully textured .3ds models, and I would assume LW objects w.textures, tho I have no LW either so I couldn't try that.

Hope this helps.....

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
