For more trees and such check out Marlinstudios.com. Lot cheaper than buying Vue and they have some populate stuff.

I don't know about a movement away from hyper-realism as it seems the current generation(s) are more concerned with "cool" than classical. What was the last time you heard the Blue Danube waltz on the radio or a tour of the Ringling Museums collection of Rembrandts on television? People do not relate to quality anymore. That concept has been destroyed by consumption oriented capitolism. I would in fact wager if you were to ask 10 people on the street who Rembrandt was that accurate responses would not be readily forthcoming.

Anyway lets keep on Brycing and hope Daz will sell it to someone who cares!
