DAZ import in other 3D applications via fbx or obj works much better than in these landscape applications. All textures would need to be modified and their render engines are not really well suited for character rendering in my opinion. There is no DAZ integration in Vue and Terragen unfortunately. This is where the often more time intensive and complex work actually begins with proper composition, texturing and lighting. In my opinion (I have all these applications except World Creator), the best results can be achieved with World Machine + GeoGlyph height maps imported into Vue, Terragen or Cinema 4D (or similar 3D applications).
They can also be used in Vue or Terragen of course. For realistic landscapes you need another 3d application for creating nice procedural textures and that can sub poly displace and render these height maps. GeoGylph 2 still gets maintenance updates, but QuadSpinner's new standalone application is Gaea which is still in development, but works already great and gets frequent updates.īut note that these applications (also including World Creator) primarly produce height maps, basically greyscale images used for displacement (as well as basic color, flow and alpha maps). QuadSpinner hasn't done any Vue addons since a long time. Yes, QuadSpinner GeoGlyph 2 is an addon for World Machine, but also supports the current WM releases like 3.0.x.
There seem to be two products: GeoGlyph 2 is the add-on for World Machine 2.x Gaea is a standalone application. The combo could be a good subsitute for VUE if they never recover from their problems. If I understand correctly, this is basically a major add-on for World Machine 2.x, not a standalone product.
