Tim: Im using VUE Pro primarily for stills and I see you are focused on animation but I just thought Id share some of my experiences. I have not installed Mover 4 yet as I dont see doing animations till the render cows are happily mooing . . . System: Dual processor Athlon MP 2600 1.5 GB RAM ATI 9000 Series twin head video card 64 MB Windows XP Pro Poser Rendering Slowdown (on animations): I have not seen this with still figures at all Render Cows: Mine install but immediately crash. According to E-on fix is on the way. VUE does not play nicely with others: This comment really puzzled me. Pro seems to have dramatically improved how it multi-tasks at least with my setup. I can render and surf the web and basic stuff with no impact at all. If I try to render and play a game I do get some slowdowns in the game (Rise of Nations). So for whatever reason Im not seeing this at all. Screen Updates: I dont think they are instantaneous but they are reasonably fast on my machine. Id like to optimize my OpenGL setup but Im not sure what settings to use for my card to get the most out of VUE. Ive noticed some minor re-draw issues but Ive very happy with how VUE Pro is working with OpenGL. However, Im not sure if we are really experiencing different things or if Im just not as demanding as far as the response time for screen re-draws . . . Booleans: Vue does have Booleans and you can also convert Booleans into polygons . . . I havent used this yet though . . .
