My Victoria is always sad and loney (because I never bought Michael), so Posette and Dork want to make her cheer up and take her to a nice trip to nature... maybe they can meet the Poser-Frog and Vickie will get a prince when she kisses him ;-) But here starts the problem, there seem to be many possibilities to make landscape useable with poser scenes. Bryce of course, Vue d'Esprit, World Builder... but what are the main differences between those software titles? Which is most recommandable? I feel like going for Vue d'Esprit... but just because of that romantic title ;-)) So please give advice to me :) Thank you so much. Victoria will be so happy too...

Vue imports Poser scenes direct from the PZ3 file, no exporting, no fiddling with textures etc, it's generally 100% this alone gives it the thumbs up. Take a look at the Vue gallery and you'll see the quality you can get with it. In my opinion (as a Bryce user too) the interface for Bryce is dreadful when stacked against Vue's. My two cents worth. Best wishes Jody

I have both Vue and Bryce, I love Vue, but thats personal, I also like Bryce, but really it is your personal preference, I suggest you download both demos and experiment. Sharen

I also have both and Vue wins hands down as far as I'm concerned, I even updated to Bryce 5 thinking it would be better but I still will use Vue almost exclusively. Marque

Yep, go Vue. ;)

Vue has that optional Mover add-on, also, should you become interested in working with Poser animation.

definatly get vue- it's learning curve is shorter, much easier to use :) with all these two cents you should be getting a sizable pile LOL

i found bryce easier to use i guess its the one window thing and i been using it longer. i just got view and it has a different flavor to it. but from what i can tell vue is awsome and its been easy enuf to get into. plus it does port poser figures without much hair pulling :)

I have both programs also, and also feel that Vue is the way to go on all aspects (ease-of-use, learning, poser compatibility, etc.) Wladamire: You can use a one-window view in Vue, too. Use the F7 key to toggle between one and four window views.

I've seen many beautiful landscapes done in Terragen...and it's FREE!

I recently got Vue, and while I like it, I have to admit that when it comes to lighting, Bryce wins hands down.

I've been brycing since version 3. There are import / compatability issues which seem to be overcome in Vue (though i only have a demo of vue). Still, though, the final render in Bryce is tough to beat and I agree with virtualSite, the lighting capability is really all that!
