@FrankT: I hear you.The toys aren't cheap; then one needs more add-ons and the wives take strong notice of  credit card spending summaries.LOL    I had Max,then "had to have" FinalRender.Now VRay is the top of the foodchain there for GI/Radiosity.   I simply cannot afford all that I like out there.Vue was affordable and will keep me out of trouble for a while.
