I am new to Vue so please bear with my stupid questions.

There is alot of talk about scale. Once I realized I had to scale up terraines REALLY big and make the plants REALLY small....stuff really came together....

(Im still getting used to shaders)

In professional houses, scale is very important. Mostly when having several artists working on a scene at the same time.....they all should have the same scale....

....in Maya the world scale is usually set SMALLER....to CM....over feet or meters.....mostly because this effects render times.....

the beauty of Mental Ray is that it can simulate real world global illumination (It calculates bounced photons...which can be user controled)...this could KILL your render times depending on your settings......it is absolutely essential for there to be a standard when working with Maya.

1.Is there a "World Scale" in Vue in the presets.....like in Maya?

2. Does scale play a role in render times in Vue?
3. Does scale play a role in tree population? I am quickly maxing out my tree population...getting lots of memory warnings...If I had a smaller terrain...could I make more trees on it?
4. Anyway to increase memory alocation in Vue?

Thanks
Paul
