Quote - Just check out e-on's user gallery. Lots of real cool stunning pictures. But most of them have that Vue typical poor antialiased grainy look.

You and I must be looking at something else then Whenever I browse through whichever Vue gallery I choose, here, at Cornucopia3D or E-onsoftware, I do see stunning images that do not have a grainly look at all. Yes, some of the old ones do have it, some of the beginner ones do have it and some rendered with old versions of Vue, but on the whole, they look excellent.

Here at Rendo there are probably more then elsewhere, but I don't even pay attention to those Vue images that have been put together centering on a badly posed Poser figure, with a horrible looking mountain and a few badly placed trees and rendered with horrible light settings. You don't need Vue for that and those often look grainy since the creator wants quick results.

But in general, those who put some effort into their images and post them these days are pretty good and sure no grain at all. You should really take a look at Cornucopia3D's gallery of this month, some excellent stuff there.

Yes, Vue used to be very grainy when rendering, but from version 9 and upwards there is no need for that anymore when doing still images. Any good i7 has the power to do decent renders and once you get the lighting right in Vue, you end up with good and crisp images.

For animation it's a different story. You need power to get those done in good quality, something most users do lack for animation. Let's be honest, when was the last time you did see a stunning quality animation done with Poser by some home user? I haven't. Yes, I've seen fun animations, but the quality of most is hardly acceptable..... most Poser still images have a mich hogher quality then any animation out there. That's not a problem that is related to Vue only, but to most 3D applications being used on a computer set up for home use :)
