Yes, but you can also do drafting in MS Word. That doesnt mean that you should

It integrates "well" for a few versions already

Kidding aside, some users report having great success with it (it's basically vue, but you only get the clouds and atmospheres). Only thing holding me back is the countless other users saying how disappointed they were with vue extreme and the support. There is a free personal learning version also so you can test it for yourself.

Indeed true, but I like the idea of creating custom skies/atmospheres for use as dome light textures, if its any good.

I can almost guarantee that it won't be. Support is zero, even if you pay for it, they takes your money and leave you for dead. And their software NEVER works as advertised

+1 to that. They shut down the beta very very quickly and I'd imagine without taking on board a lot of feedback they got. Very handy when you've no real competition aside from terragen which doesn't integrate with your main 3d app.

Sounds great!
Will give this one a fat miss then, did download it to try out but never got round to it.
