Will there be a sidegrade pricing from Vue4Pro to Vue5? I really do feel that I made a misstake buying it. I'm sure it in time will be worth the cost for those that need to move stuff between highend 3D applications and Vue. I, as a prosumer had to admit to myself that the only thing in Vue4Pro that really have any worth to me (especially taking the very limited use of the plant editor into consideration) are the rendercows and better working OpenGl. I had real doubts about the value of Pro before bying but with the value that I say in a god plant editor together with having some saved money for new software I decided to take the chance. But of course, I should have paid those $100 for the demo (witch it would cost me to wait for it). I did whatever I could to get the information I needed from E-ONs material, but what they not told me about the plant editor made me make a bad choise (as the plant editor was what finally made me go for it). They did say that you could edit existing plants into new spieces but what they not told me was that I can only edit limited stuff such as the pictures for the petals and leafs as well as do adjustements to scale, bending etc and not what really is needed for making new spieces, adjustment to the number of branches, placement of brachment,placement of leafs, number of flowers, the kind of flower, arrangement and so on . I did expect more and not less possibilities than what I could get from freeware(checkout the PlantStudio freeware and you will understand what I mean). This is of course what I think, as a prosumer, with my needs, other people might value it differently. I just want people to now a little more on the stuff that not is mentioned in the advertising. And last..is it not strange that now when E-ON turns to the Professional users with big wallets. Now OpenGl starts to work on consumer video cards while before, when turning to consumers only the Pro card worked ;)
