Dax Pandhi has another great video tutorial available at QuadSpinner. This one is entitled "Capturing the Brilliance of Light" and IMO it's well worth buying for anyone serious about creating photoreal scenes in Vue. Definitely worth a look!

$36, Jeez*  I can;t even afford VUE 7*

Yeah the tutorials look nice but the price is starting to stack up, I don't mind paying, but just don't have the money right now to spend on tutorials.

They do look fab though

Finally took Chipp's suggestion and downloaded the free tutorial on QuadSpinner. After watching it I immediately purchased the tutorial on Procedural Terrains.

The free tutorial was very helpful and has really gotten me going on Procedural Terrains.

Though I haven't made it through the purchased tutorial I can already see that it is going to be a great help and reference for building terrains.

Money well spent.

I was not very enthusiastic on the procedural terrain thing. In many examples I saw, the results looked more like whipped cream than eroded terrains. 

This one looks interesting. I like the way Dath Pandi uses Radiosity.

I am also expecting his tutorials on water and materials to be very interesting.

Still waiting for the book "Vue 7.5, beyond the basics" I ordered a month ago.

I've just posted a review of Capturing the Brilliance of Light on the Vue News Blog.

I think it's a really useful tutorial - I'm learning loads of new tricks :)
(just have to remember them now !)
