Checking it out, this is what I saw in the description: The textures are all fully tileable jpgs for use in any 3d/2d software that accepts this format. I don't know if there are any special instructions included for Vue users, but tiling images are quite easy to include in Vue as a material. What you would probably do is set up a sphere object, or maybe a terrain object, then give it a material based on one of the tiling images. To do that means just to open the material editor and select "New". On the Color tab, mark "mapped values". A Picture button shows up, select the button and navigate to the image you want to use (for best results, the image should be on your hard drive, not on a CD). After that, you can tweak the material in any number of ways for additional settings, but in its simplest form, that's all that's needed. You can practice before making the investment, using any tileable image. Try totallyseamless.com to pick up a few. :)
