Nfredman: I emailed the Vue people with some questions. Here is a direct quote from their response: Question 1: I read on Renderosity (Bryce forum) that with Vue you have to buy every tree you need separately. Is that true? Answer: Vue 4 ships with 30 different species that can be edited to a certain extent - you can check out the tutorials on the web about how that can be done. We also regularly release extra vegetation, some for free, some paying ($10 each). Question 2: What are all the file types Vue 4 can import (*.obj; *.3ds, etc.)? Answer: COB, 3DS, LWO, OBJ, DXF and DEM, all with texture information. Question 3: In Bryce, you can only export terrains. What can you export in Vue and in what file formats? Answer: That's the same. You can export in all of the above + PoV, together with maps. Question 4: Is there a competitive upgrade price for Vue? Answer: Yes, $169 from Bryce 4. Check out our pricelist for full details. END OF QUOTE I don't really understand his answer to #3 when he says "It's the same." Did he mean the same as in Vue can only export terrains like Bryce, or that Vue can export the same file formats as it can export?
