As far as my experience goes with Viz 4, Viz 4 does not speed up the radiosity and rendering process if you want to get simalr results like you would get with Lightscape.
To get a higher quality you need to have high settings and therfore you will have a long calculation and rendering time....For production and tight deadlines not useable. Might as well model for Lightscape again and use Lightscape and Viz3i instead.
As far as awsome work with Viz4 ( exterior and interior like Cesar writes) I did not see any outstanding work done with Viz4 alone. ( I am not talking about cheating with Lightscape files rendered in Viz 4 )
Please let me know if you find some example of outstanding work done with Viz 4 and no plug ins.
Autodesk should not wait till they get enough complains and information from the users to produce a better version with good manuals, books information, training CD's, examples and support.
You make us long time user very upset and frustrated with false promises and wrong information or better no information.
Hope this helps to find out if you should upgrade to Viz4 or not...I guess we should look into other software solutions.
