i bought the download versions form the vue5 ones... they are ok and helps at some points - but the maintopics in the trainngs about the ui and the functioneditors .. ecos as well did i always learned by playing arround with vue.  thats why i wrote that i mean that you may dont need them when you allready read and do tuts from the net and have some exp based on bruce.

hi, when you have a strong background from other programs like bruce you dont need the CDs.. ok Just play arround and view the demos - look at other pictures and scences and ask or thing about how they was made. ask in forum im sure many here will help you when you have a question.

not sure but the nodelocked is only for one workstation and the floating for all pcs you have.

hi, you can build ecosystems by yourself .. just add the object you want in one and save it.

to your question .. sorry i didnt know a shop for it.. maybe at rero freebies or shop or at the e-on forum

hhi maybe it woud help for you.. you can scale down or up the texture size on nen object (material editor)

hi, bryce supports over daz studio poser files (bryce 5.5).

when you look at the galery vue is more used in close range screens as in landscapeviews like the pictures made by TG. Both Tools are great, the question is what kind of screens do you wish to render?   

hi,

you can use vue for basic modeling like buildings and such but you cant realy use it for complex storys like human-modeling (sorry my english ist not the best).

better said you can create some buildings buts its not realy modeling as its stand for.. its more like playing with lego-stones...

vue is more for landscaping and animation as for modeling.

hi, you can change the water with the function editor.. there are functions for watereffects. with the materialroom you can change the material and other options for your water.

realy cool tut, thx man

nice page, thx for the link :)

Hi, you can easy create with standard terrains. Just create your Mountain and copy&paste it.. You need it for a Shape. After this design your roads at the mountain and cut them off or for smaller scenes but the 2 terrains together so we get the different between.. Sorry not easy for me to write in english:)

But maybe it woud help you search a tut about lakes, rivers or waterfalls.. its form the idea behind it the same... at rivers and lakes wie cut some out and at roads we attach some.

bye and good luck
