It's too bad the demo only has one tree....I didn't remember that. They should put one of the leafy ones in too, you can get right in among the leaves and they look good, unlike a lot of imported ones. I tried the Bryce demo and the Vue demo about the same time last summer. With Vue, I had a nice pic inside of an hour. Bryce was inscrutable to me.....ok, I'm lazy, but I don't wanna spend weeks just learning what arcane little icon does what, I'd rather learn how to make pics. So I bought Vue. The material editor is simple to use for basics, but there are tons of options that I have no idea what they do, so there is room to experiment and learn. I actually didn't care so much about the plants at first, I just bought the extra ones this month. And the nicest thing is, E-on is still small enough to really care about their users. I send files to them that make my system crash and they reply, they put out patches very quickly to adress issues. That means quite a bit to me actually. Hope this helps. Gail
