The landscape was done in Vue. The buildings were downloaded from 3dwh. I have never used Vary so I can't compare the two. Vue is a simple program and a very complex program at times.
Check out some of the work that has been done with Vue.

Thanks for the comments.

These are a couple of buildings that I downloaded from the components site. I didn't do anything to them just brought them into view and rendered. SU and Vue get along ok.

I am using SU5 and I just installed Mac OS 10.5.5 and now SU5 won't open. Anybody out there maybe have an answer. Thanks sah

This is a guest house on a project that I did several years ago. Modeled in SU and rendered in Vue.

Thanks. That greenery stuff is all part of Vue. There's plenty to choose from. Take a look at their demo video it's pretty amazing work. SU imports into Vue with no problems so far. At one time indoor scenes were not to good but the lighting selection is much better in Vue6.

I added some greenery to cast some shadows. I should have done this to start with.
