It's almost pointless. Vue is in a catagory all it's own I'd say. It's easy to use therefore it stands out from the crowd. The only program that can even come close to the quality is Bryce. Take a look at the galley at " Scuba ". You just try to render than in any of these other programs and it will become apperent real fast that the sad truth of the matter is I'm right.

Vue, best value, Has realistic vegetation, Easy to use, Super complex meshes possible. Scuba is suppose to be 250 meg. Down side? Well Atmosphere editor is a bit tricky till you get use to it.

Bryce: Nice render. Forget it if you get too complex. Plastic vegetation, Sloooooooooowwwww. Same bugs in version 3 are still in version 5 demo. Impossible to edit complex scenes.

WorldBuilder: Interesting. Fast, Difficult to use. Some things would be impossible to make in here. Well maybe not impossible but would take a life time to figure out. I like the unlimited vegetation but there just alpha trees can do that in vue already. Tough to tell with just the demo. What I've seen in the demo can't justify the cost they want for it.

Mojoworld: Interesting but not much use to anyone. It's got it's points for sure but it's realy limited. Oh it's not too fast eather if you turn up the quality. Where is the vegetation? Basically have very little control to do what you want in this program. Easy to use though.

Terragen: WorldBuilder with no trees. Easier to use though. Too limited to even bother with. Not exactly easy to use. Price is right.

There ya have it. Mighy Pete's Quick and Dirty review. If you do a real point by point comparison I'd be interested in reading it but I don't think you'll manage to change my mind.

All roads lead to Vue.
