Welcome to the world of cg and our little corner of it.

Certainly those tools do things this one cannot. If you are looking for an ideal 'all in one' solution then one of them may be a better option.

If you wish a photorealistic renderer built in, then Modo would probably be your best choice.  However, if you use Vue as your main staging application, then there's plenty of folk here that can steer you to the best settings for photorealism. There are even independant renderers if you're so inclined.

Never hesitate to post questions or problems. Plenty of help, advice, tips and tricks to be offered here. The only newb or stupid question is the one not asked!

Again, welcome aboard!
