The good thing about MojWorld is that there are hundreds of worlds that you can download, explore and tweak to your liking. You could find a suitable Poser island with beaches on many of them, but it would be more difficult to create your own. Also, faking the tropical vegetation would be more challenging than it would in Vue Infinite, but I've found that MojoWorld handles Poser imports with a greater degree of stability. Still, for a fully customized, earthlike island, Vue would probably be the best bet. Carrara isn’t in the same ballpark when it comes to landscape and plant quality, and it’s so buggy at this point with the Poser imports that I can’t recommend it.
