Just get Bryce, you'll be happier in the end. Vue doesn't compare to Bryce, Bryce is an all around Capable 3D program. Vue is strictly for landscape outdoor scenes, and in my opinion doesn't do as good of a job at it as Bryce,if you need vegetation, there are hundreds of 3D veg models on the net, or use Carrara and make your own. There are also programs out there that excel at doing nothing but making vegetation. There is no argument for buying Vue over Bryce. Bryce wins hands down, it's more than just a piece of software, it's a lifestyle.
