Hi Kathy, 1. Rendering times: How do they compare to Bryce? - Generally Vue is faster. It will depend on the scene, materials, objects, etc. a. Whats the shortest - longest render time you ever had with Vue Shortest for me, 47 seconds for a 1024x768 complete image (Vue 4) Longest for me, about 3-4 hours. That's my personal self-imposed limit, so if I set up something that's going to take longer than that, I backtrack and do what I can to cut the time down. I don't like waiting for renders. :) 2 Vue vs Bryce: any comparisons you can make? There is a lot of good comparative info in previous threads here. Do a search on the archive for "Bryce" and that should lead you to the good stuff. 3. It plugs into lightwave right? How does this work in practice? Would you use lightwave for the render? E-on's Ozone plugin for Lightwave brings the Vue atmosphere/lighting into Lightwave for use there. The render would be made in Lightwave then. 4. Will Vue every port to another program - like MAX? Currently, terrains can be exported to other programs. Will it ever be more than that? That's a question for E-on. :)
