*"all of you who already own pro, what's one feature it lacks that you really want or wish for?"*

If you care to look at some of my problems (mostly with Vue's Animation problems) in this recent post, I can tell you what is still lacking and what has been corrected:

  1. Improved, but still the timeline does not scroll smoothly afterwards. But somewhat bareable now I suppose.

  2. Still no cut/copy/paste of keyframes. Shame-shame. But multiple (user settable no less) levels of UNDO. Finally! Bravo Eon.

3a - 3c) Keyframing is still a virtual nightmare in Vue Pro. No bonus points there, Vue 5 maybe they'll overhall it?

  1. Happily, this has been addressed, and now as far as I can tell works quite well. Still not as intuitive as say Poser or even Bryce, but much better -- with some added switches.

  2. Don;t know yet, probably still flicker issues. But there is a nice section in the back of the Pro manual that addresses this issue straight on. Looking forward to trying some of their tips, as well as others mentione here.

6)YES! Supposedly will convert tmp files after any abnormal interuption of the render. But you still can't check the progress of your render because of this bizarre setup. Oh well.

  1. Glad to report OpenGL is MUCH better in this release. However, that is not saying much. I would still say it is not great (in fact, I'm getting crashes to the desktop quite a lot more often now) and it is still very slow compared to Bryce, Poser, 3DS MAX, etc., etc.

I've found that maximizing the main window speeds up the interface and camera movements quite a bit.

  1. Same unfortunately.

  2. YES! You can now turn off auto-keying on a per object basis. Still no universal toggle, but this will do quite well I suppose. Would still like to see a universal toggle at some point.

There are a lot of minor interface tweaks/additions that may go unnoticed by some, but they are very much welcomed and streamline some things a bit. -Tim
