Hi Michael: Pricing: Yes, it's confusing and yes everything you indicated is the case. I would recommend calling Visua Software directly (800) 669-7318 to take advantage of our current promotion for Simply 3D users to get Visual reality for $395…And you can lay the $50 coupon on them also to bring it down to $345. Product comparison: Visual Reality indludes two additional applications: Visual Model, a polygonal3D modeler that supports boolean ops and other features to simplify the creation of 3D objects, and Visual iamge a layered bitmap editor. In addition, the version of Renderize Live included with Visual Reality supports bump mapping (using bitmap textures to define surface topography) and environmental reflection mapping: these material attributes increase the realism and subtlety of an image dramatically.. It also supports editing of polynormals, unlimited resolution output, and several other featrues that make it more useful in the "professional" market. Nick Josephs Visual Software
