I agree with MikeJ - That is the best way to learn some aspects of the program by opening the premade scenes and checking out how it was constructed. I myself am reletivaly new to Vue 4, I just purchased it about 2 weeks ago and I must say you'll love it. Again don't hesitate to ask any questions here in the forum or if you see an artists pic you like I am sure anyone here would be more than happy to give a helping hand with anything, anyway that's been my experience as a newbie to the forum here! Good luck and happy rendering!! :)
