LIST (Part 1 of 2):

-> RENDERING POSER IMPORT SLOWDOWN: Noticed that even though an imported animated Poser figure is not appearing in the scene, it slows down the render considerably. (Maybe it's calculating the rays and stuff for the figure even though it is not visible to the camera??) Once Poser character object (yes, this was a p4 file) was removed, render sped up by 300 - 500%!

-> RENDERED ANIMATION FLICKER: What is with the darn flicker??? Again, no other software has this issue with it's rendered animations.

-> Rendercow/HyperVue is far from perfect. Inverts (flips) images when rendering to an AVI. Rendering to image sequence SEEMS to eliminate the problem. Have heard of others having problem with imported Poser transparency settings go ON/OFF even with rendered image sequences.

-> Rendering image sequences is useless as Vue uses .tmp files instead of just writing the TIF or TGA file. If Vue crashes during render or you lose power, you're screwed as the TMP files are useless. Can't even fathom WHY they would do this. Doubt PRO addresses this, but you never know.

-> Vue does not play nicely with others. Any other app I can easily have, for example, media player playing MP3's or WAV's in the background, but not with Vue. Loading/saving completely stops playback with only little spurts of music here and there. Even just scrolling the timeline causes it to pause and hickup. NO OTHER app does this, even intensive apps like After Effects and even POSER for PETE'S SAKE!
