Hi gang. Just curious, does the most recent version of Vue support Global Illumination? Or High Dynamic Range lighting? Thanks in advance. :-)

No... but just like with Bryce, you can get pretty close to the result by faking it. Check out this link about how to do it in Bryce - it shouldn't be a problem to adapt that to Vue.

And check this one out for faking HDRI.

Cool. How are rendertimes compared to Bryce? Bryce is ungodly slow. Is Vue any faster?

Difficult to answer that as their rendering engines and options are quite different. In high quality settings Vue can be very slow, especially if you have reflexions, blur and volumetric effects. Most of my recent images were rendered in high quality and print resolution (3500x3500 pixels) at an average of 30 hours per render. It also depend on the complexity of the picture - number of lights, number of objects, etc. but overall, I find Vue faster than Bryce - but that is just a very subjective opinion.

I would say that at useful high quality render settings, then there is not much difference between Vue and Bryce render times...saying that though Vue supports dual processors, where as Bryce does not. Cheers
