The main difference between Vue and TG renders is that Vue ones look (by default) "dreamy fuzzy" while TG are "razor sharp".

You can get Vue to behave the TG way by giving the postprocessing stage the importance it has. In TG 0.x one renders at double resolution without much antialiasing (because you have no andvanced AA available ), downsamples appropriately and give the result a touch of sharpening. On TG forums/sites there are in depth discussions about these steps.

Then there is a thing to do to textures but I am not writing more about it because I learned this "thing" studying TerraPak documentation... it is a single sentence and I assure you that it is worth by itself the cost of the Pak.

On the other hand, try to make in TG a scene showing a countryside road with lots of different plant species in a dreamy painterly like setting or import many complex objects with lots of textures or doing a final render in less than a week, but here we are in beating-a-skeletonized-horse department...
