I think vue is great for outdoor scenery. Is it a good tool for indoor scenes? I am currently using vue 4. Is the prof edition better for this? Should i switch to other software?

Did you look at the Vue gallery ? There are some outstanding indoor scenes using Vue available there...

To upgrade to vuepro is far too much money. Eon should give a price break or a sale if they really care about their customers.

Actually, for a tool geared towards professionals, even with some unstabilities, Vue Pro is quite affordable. There aren't that many software out there in the same price range and the same capabilities.

Nice links, Agiel. In the second image, however, the side table seems to be floating in the air. This is a problem I notice more often in Vue, also when 'planting' trees - I always camouflage the spot where trunks meet the ground with some grass... Michel, though Vue can do excellent indoor scenes (QED), if you're really serious about them or want to do photorealistic rendering with complex lighting, you'll need a renderer that does radiosity. This is neither in Vue 4 or Pro. The 'cheapest' options I know of are Cinema 4d or Lightwave. You can however emulate radiosity in Vue by using clever material settings and additional spotlights. Check out this link for an example: http://www.sketchup.com/forum/download.php?f=4&file=WaitingRoom.jpg

If you want global illumination, another 'cheap' solution is Carrara, from Eovia.
