Just received Vue 4 two weeks ago and love this program! Havn't posted any images yet cuss i dont want ye all to hurt your bellies from laughin hehe :) QUesion i have is: Although Vue4 is great at creating structural varience in vegetations, I would like to add/make new plant types. Is it better to purchase texture/material addons to modify existing Vue4 vegetations (trees, grasses etc..)? Or is better to purchase actual 3D models on Cd of premade trees and plants ex: that good-lookn paradise plant? ANy opinions, advice, and guidance is welcomed thank you Montanan

Montanan, To start, you can get lots of free alternate leaves and plants from Varian's site http://www.varian.net/dreamview/ and also from mine, including tutorials how to use it. http://start.at/arte This is especially for trees and other plants, some flowers also. You can create an infinite quantity of plants with existing Vue plants. You also can get PlantStudio, a very unexpensive sharware program to create shrubs, grasses and flowers http://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/ (tutorial in english at : http://membres.tripod.fr/esprit_virtuel/plantstudio/plantstudio.html) And of course the CD for flowers at http://www.botanical.com/ (for me too expensive :-(). Guitta

Ditto everything Guitta said, except that last URL leads to a good research site. The Trillium botanical CD can be found here: http://www.trillium36.com Also check out www.3dplants.com to pick up a bunch of freeware plant items. :)
