Betweem Vue 5I and Carrara 5 Pro, it's really hard to decide which is "better". Vue and Carrara both support direct import of pz3's, but Carrara additionally supports import of poser characters, props, hair, etc without having to save them as a pz3 first, so for ease of importing Poser stuff I'd say go with Carrara (that direct import feature is part of the native importer that is found in both Pro and the regular Carrara 5.

 

The best way to determine which one has the better renderer is to compare renders done with each buy looking thru the galleries.

In my gallery, the images "I hate Martians" and "Gambler's Table" are Carrara renders (the first one includes imported Poser figures), and I have numerous Vue renders, of which only the two or 3 most recent are Vue 5I, the other ones are Vue 4.
