I just redownloaded the Vue demo today, and gave it a second go. This is like the third Vue image I've attempted...lol I still prefer bryce and had been trying to make a similar image there, with no luck...lol I wish there was a way to transfer Vue files into Bryce for modeling and matting and rendering. LOL Anyhow, I would love to do more with this pic, (like make it's counterpart in Bryce *winks*) but Vue crashes my system when I get too far into a pic, and had to shut down everything save for Explorer, systray, and Vue to get this far. On the to do list, finish fish tank room, finish *wonders off listing all the WIPS started that need done...lol* anyhow, would appreciate come comments, even tho is Vue to this point, it will be duplicated as much as possible in Bryce in the near future...grins Thanks!! Jen

and believe it or not, for some odd reason, I actually put this one in my gallery..LOL *haven't figured out why yet* but if ya wanna leave some hints and tips there here's the link

Shame on you for posting a vue picture here! lol Just teasing. Vue does have some nice vegetation though, dont it? As for the scene, here's what I'd experiment with... Position the camera (or the land mass on the right) so that the water has a visible path leading out to your moons. Right now it hits a dead end near the center of your image. Also, maybe experiment with the cloud cover a bit. The right half of the sky seems to be competing with your moons for the attention. Happy BRYCE rendering, Muddy

Hey Jen, it looks like you'll be able to have your wish soon, after a fashion. I visited the Vue forum and Eon has announced the launch of Vue professional 4. VuePro4 will be able to export scenes to several of the major programs, and will be able to export vegetation. While I doubt that scene export will be compatible with Bryce, you could just use the plants.

very good advice Muddy, thank you. Will need to start fresh from scratch in Bryce before making any changes, the demo won't save anything...LOL Kewelst Danamao! Thanks for the heads up!
