I use vue 6 extreme too. mostly for illustration and providing fast concepts for briefs.
at the moment Im using it to make a map from a DEM of part of mars. the real mars that is, not the confectionary bar. Ive created the area as a procedural terrain model and now Im poulating it with various townships and mining colonies (in the game mars has been terraformed and is a hive of mining activity). when its done it will be used to create any number of images for a scenario book Im helping Warband Miniatures create. I love it, rather than draw 20 different landscape images I can create the images from any view and keep all the locations relative to each other in the images. I can then illustrate ontop to add in bits relevant to the various parts of the scenarios.
amazing peice of kit, and real easy to use (note I said use not master)
