I´m considering buying Vue 8 and I´m a bit confused about the different versions. I mainly want to use Vue to create atmosphere around my Poser characters so I was aiming for Vue 8 Frontier. Then I noticed that the Esprit version has a RenderUp module that gives more speed and control over your renders (?) and an 3D import module. Here's a line from the RenderUp description:
"RenderUp lifts the render resolution limit of Vue 8 Esprit by letting you render images as large as your system resources allow"
So I was wondering, how limited is the Frontier version? Is there a resolution limit? Will I have any control over indirect lighting? Is there indirect lighting? :)
Any advice or info appreciated!

Go for Esprit :)
Many reasons for this but yes, import and render tweaking make a BIG difference.

Esprit is a bit out my price range at the moment. I suppose I could buy the Frontier version first and then add the RenderUp and Import modules later. It will be a bit more expensive but I'd be able to play with SkinVue8 for now.
Hmmm... Now I know what e-on means with "Affordable package that grows with you!*" ;)

Yes - that's a good way to go and probably one of the reasons that e-on made the modules. Software a la carte. If you get Frontier, make sure to sign up for the Cornucopia newsletter. The modules come on sale on a regular basis.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. Could you (or anyone) point me to some renders done with Vue8 Frontier? Preferably scenes with Poser characters and SkinVue8...

One of the best resources is the SkinVue site - http://www.skinvue.net/
