Vue vs Bryce vs Octane render: antialiasing

I unsed to complain about the quality of antialiasing in Vue compared to the one you can get in Bryce. As I wanted to see if Bryce-like quality could be obtained in Vue, I set up a similar scene in both programs and rendered it to have a fair comparison. As I have been using Octane Render lately, I have added it to the test.
