"More trees cost 0$ in Bryce I think its 100$ in vue. ick I hate to keep paying for a program." I'm afraid you are wrong Griggs. The vegetations with Vue will accept different materials, so that not only can you have different species of leaf and bark texture, but different times through all the seasons. Besides, Vue 4 comes with over 30 different species, and you will find that it will set you back just $10 per realistic extra species, and nothing to add the extra textures. "You can't tell what your changes with the sky will do with vue there is no picture showing until you close the popup window. In bryce you have nearly instant feed back on your changes." Wrong again my friend. Once you start a new scene, Vue will give you instant feedback of any changes you make to the atmosphere, materials etc in the Render Preview window. "The highend bryce settings produce truly beautiful images that will be impossible with Vue" You will find both Vue and Bryce outputs used by professionals, but then again I thought beautiful images where a matter of taste and came from the artist and not the tools ;) May I just add that Vue is multi threaded, so it will make use of dual processors. I am at this moment rendering a Vue image, and have no problems with communication or slowdown. Hope you don't mind me barging in Griggs, but I feel that when comparisons are made between the two, the weaknesses and stregnths of both should be considered fairly. BTW I feel that there should be space for both on the hard drive, they make a nice compliment...although we all have are favourite ;) Thanks again, Cheers
