The Vue4... Is it worth spending 200 dollars for this program? And do I need to be really experienced with Graphic Arts to use it? I'm thinking of buy it as a new hobbie and maybe make some money off of it... I've never done anything like this, so is it a good starter kit? Like for a beginner? And anything else that might be helpful. Thanks. Johannah Oh and where can I buy this? What Stores?

The interface is very friendly, the soft is very easy to use (the most easy probably). You have some samples in Vue gallery showing what you can do with it. Be careful that Vue is not a modeler, basically you can create objects with primitives and in the terrain editor, but you must use an other soft to create other models (there are lot of free modelers, I think the list is in "Cool and Groovy stuff" above). There is a link above if you want to buy it (special X-mas offer) : http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=989289 ;=) Yves

Vue is very is to use, even I learned it. But as YL wrote, you might need a modeler such as metasequoia. (freeware) If you got questions during the learning period, ask here on the forum. There are also a lot of tutorials and information in the cool & groovy stuff.

Every graphic software needs a learning time. Vue is the most easy. To begin, you don't need any modeler. First learn Vue and learn to model with primitives and booleans. Later you may add another software. Lots of beginner tutorials are at the following link (even one for your very first Vue image):-)

If you want to do landscapes and such, get Vue, if you want to do humans, get Poser. They are both great programs.

Yes it's worth it. I don't say that too often so you can take it like it is. It's the best program to start with cause it's easy to learn then you find out later after you been at it for awile that almost anything is possible in it really. It's very powerfull. It has a way of growing with your skill level. Easy at first and more complex after you master the basics. I've never really looked at the pro's and con's list up there in Cool and Groovy Stuff but I bet there is really not one con that cannot bee worked around somehow.

Thank You! I think I'll buy it. I'll have to look into the range of the prices...maybe I can find it some place less $$. If that's posible. :o) Thanks. Johannah
