      This is great in Vue. However... So however, the draft would "suck" the plants towards the vehicle instead of blowing them away when it passes by. But I guess that's also feasible.

        I really think that VUE would be useful in my office for when we have projects with lots of landscape. I just need the time to get into it.

          I'm also planning to use it (or better to say "get it used") on a certain project. BTW Pete, I didn't forget - it's just slow response from the client. πŸ˜‰

            I'm downloading the PLE now.
            While I wait; I tried the free version, and rendered a simple terrain and some clouds but even at the highest render setting the render turned out grainy. I couldn't find any "advanced" settings to fine tune.
            Is the free different from the PLE/all the bangs and whistles-editions?

              When you have the PLE I will walk you through the settings as you did for me with Vray on how to get a crisp render.

                Thanks! I'll look at some of the video tutorial first, (if I can make them work,... seem to be flickering without audio on my machine..)

                  Do I want to install the 32bit version of the product too? Is there any need for that?

                    Not sure what you mean, do you have 32 bit or 64?

                    I have 64 bit and not installed the x86/32bit version.

                      I run Window7RC 64bit. It asked me if I wanted to install 32bit. I said no.

                          Please oh please make this conversation public when you have it. I've had the PLE for about a month now and I've played with it enough to like it, but I still have problems with render quality and I'd like to get up to professional level myself!

                                  I'm trying to import a .skp file into VUE7. The .skp is saved in SU6 format. But I get an error message saying it can't read file.
                                  Any requirements to the .skp in order for it to import?

                                      I seem to be completely unable to import SU6 files. But SU5 seems to work. With simple test scenes it works fine, but when I try to import a real project I find many things misplaced upon import. Any clue to how to circumvent this?

                                        Does VUE not handle nested components/groups?

                                          It does, all my SU models have nested groups and components and it works great with Vue, I however export as .3ds and open up in Vue, I do not use the .skp import.

                                            .3ds worked more reliably.
