Hi Paul,

I think from seeing those galleries that Vue d'Espirt has some real promise. The 'flat/lifeless' characteristics you mentioned appear to be the choice of the artist - but not in a bad way. A lot of the images i saw had more of a "painterly" effect than they did a 3D look to them. But i still think the images look just fine, even like that.

If it can create a 'complete' scene, including any vegetation, and it looks like it can, i'd say it's worth looking into. By the look of some of those gallery images, i wouldn't really say it's just intended for 'hobby' use.

PS: Bryce doesn't have a "vegetation generator" [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
And i myself only use Bryce once in a while (i find it quite limited and VERY "UN-intuitively" designed. I usually use either Cinema 4D or Terragen.

PPS: i think i'll look into Vue d'Espirt somemore. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
