The problem with Vue 4 is that it would appear to be unstable. People continue to talk about crashes. Nothing is more frustrating to a newbie in 3D then crashes. If they work for hours on something only to lose it in a crash they will leave that software and not come back. Bryce 4 was fairly easy for most people even novices to begin to work in and it was fairly stable. I don't know if version 5 will continue to be that way. The only problem with it was it created sterile scenes, i.e. no vegetation. If version 5 carries over that stability then I would suggest that program. But it just came out and I think its too early to tell. Best to check the boards there. Vue 4 is to unstable for a newbie. If you can get a legit copy of Vue 3.1 that would be a better choice in my opinion. WB has too steep of a learning curve for a newbie.
