Castaneda -

I guess we are all asking the same question. I also think GeoControl is a terrific program. If you are new to it, do Cajomi's tutorials to see the power of it. As you keep using it, you will find more and more that it will do and more and more that you can add to your Vue scene such as bringing in distibution maps, color maps from shaders, etc.

One think I have found to do that is very useful is to do a screen capture of the 3d image. Then on my second monitor all I have to do is hit preview since it is in png format. I do this if I want to place the terrain in Vue in a similar orientation. If you are looking for an exact replica, you will find that there is some difference as to mountain height. Vue tends to condense it.

There are also good tutorials out there on bringing it into Vue. They are listed in some recent threads. Offrench's is one (in 2 parts)  and Rutra's also dealt with GeoControl in his Vue tutorial.
