Hello Gameprinter, I have used Vue for some time, I have Vue 6 thru 9 installed on my PC, Its good rendering software but kinda slow, I hadn't been to e-on software's web site for a long time, Noticed its now subscription based, I suppose its inexpensive to get your feet wet, Myself, I'm not a fan of subscriptions. I started with Bryce a long time ago. If you ever want to get away from subscriptions you can still get Bryce 7 at Daz 3D for $20, https://www.daz3d.com/bryce-7-pro then Plug in Daz studio https://www.daz3d.com/technology , I think its free. By the way I started with Ray Dream when it was part of the Corel Draw suite, It was called Corel Dream at the time. I eventually purchase Ray Dream. I probably still have it in my collection of obsolete software. Well have fun playing with 3D.
