I just mentioned this offer in the below thread. Vue and Poser are a great team. I bought Vue in a similar offer fro Bryce users...I love it. Great atmosphere's, much better vegetation, DIRECT IMPORT OF POSER SCENES....including transparent items, etc...pz3 import... and with Mover, which is an addon, you have to buy it...however, if you're doing animation can import direct Poser animation to Vue.

Sorry for the double post Dave-So:-) Guitta

I think this probably belongs in the Product showcase forum, but I'm really tempted by the offer. People get such beautiful results in Vue that it makes me envious. No wonder I'm always broke!

Hmmm...when I go to the store, I don't see any way to get the discounted price. :( What am I missing (except my marbles)?

Hi Guitta... your post is the REAL one :) mine was just a mention of it in another thread that said something about using Poser within Vue .... I think this should sit right up front in the POSER forum...for wide distribution.

Oh, I got that far without problems. But when I enter the store, it takes me to an order page that has no offer on it...just Vue at $199 and I don't see where the special is located. I go to "Click here to order" and it's just the regular store. I confuse sooooo easily.

dialyn, go to the bottom of the page where you can directly fill out the fields to buy:-)

Oh, I thought that was only for qualifying later. Gotcha. :) Gads, I'm stupid. I suppose this leads me into a whole new area of shopping indulgence. One thing leads to another, doesn't it? :)

Hm! Not very well done this e-on page:-(

Gebe - I got an email of the same info. Is it worth it getting Vue Pro or this one ? I intend to use Vue for Rendering Poser scenes and of course creating environments. Thanks!

If you like to do animations, get Vu ePro. If you only do stills but want to create new plants and use wind (wind iw great in still images too), you may get it too. I suppose you don't have yet any version of Vue, otherwise you just can update for free to Vue 4.2 if you have already Vue 4.1 Knowing your images and thinking about what you may need better,I would say to start with Vue 4.2, because when you have learned it, you always can update later. My opinion, not to follow absomutely:-) Guitta

I'm really tempted by the deal. only thing is will Vue 4.2 now import Poser 5 files? if it can finally then $99 aint a bad deal and I'll probably do it. I dont want to do it and then find out that I'd have to wait for an update that may or may not.

how much later can we get this offer if we do not want to do it now?

MachineClaw, yes, Vue 4.2 imports perfectly Poser 5 Pz3 and PPz files:-)

odeathoflife, it is sayd until End of November:-)

Thanks Guitta! I can't pass this offer. I have had Vue in my shopping cart for ages waiting for the right time (actually more of finding time to learn it). I saw Bryce 5 in the shop at a really rock bottom price but know that I wanted Vue all along. Chris

even if we register? It seems that I can register for the special now but pay for it after the offer is over...?

This register thingy is not very clear for me either. I will ask at e-onsoftware and will answer here as soon as I can. Of course, over the weekend, there is nobody in the office. So please be a little patient. Thanks, :-)Guitta

If I put that on my Wishlist will somebody go ahead and buy it for me?

Great timing. I've been looking at vue and debating between it and a Bryce 5 upgrade (which they're selling on ebay right now starting at 9.99) Half off sells me. :)

Dave very nice. I'm so so tempted by this deal. must think.

Thanks a bunch e-on for getting my hopes up; and thanks Curious Labs for failing to sort out your international price structure yet again. Sorry to inject a sour note folks, but us non-US folk still have to pay full price for Poser 5 at least: and that's much more than your full price too. Please ignore me and go back to your jubilations. grumble

hmm is Vue affected by this too ? is the 50% for international customers ?

EnglishBob, NO!! You have the same offer! It is valid everywhere. I just have tried it for my French address (but I have Poser 5 already). The only problem with European customers, they charge 71$ for shipping to France and 100$ for shipping to Greece, a Greek Vue user told me that:-(. Vue has offices in Europe (Paris) and in the States (Beverton, Origon), no problem to get Vue:-) Guitta

Euh... I live in France, and I just tried to buy Vue with this offer, but the price on my screen is 258.33 EUR... Where have I to notice that I have Poser? Where have I to write the serials of Poser? Am I a dummy?!? Thanks! PAti

I finally filled out the registration form for those who want to wait to take advantage of the offer, and I was sent to a screen that told me to contact the orders people at Vue to take advantage of the offer. I've sent them an email. Because it's the weekend, I expect I won't get a reply until Monday. I don't see the offer on the order pages of the webpage.

akahastur, go to http://www.e-onsoftware.com/p5 Scroll down the page and click "Click here to order Vue d'Esprit 4". This brings you to a page where you have to choose EUROPE (click the Europe button inside the image). Then opens the right page with the right price, you just need to click the shopping cart icon:-) Guitta

But that still brings you to the website that has the original price (without the discount). I'm not being trying to be argumentative or difficult, really, but I keep ending up at the same page and it offers no discount. After filling out the form for people who want to reserve the offer, the instructions were very clear about contacting the orders section in order to take advantage of the offer. Really.

I did the same thing as Dialyn. It looks to me like they don't have a link up for immediately making a discounted purchase for either site. I wonder if they let the announcment out before setting up their websites completely.

It looks fixed now. When I click to purchase from the link given above, it sends me to a different page showing only Vue4 and the correct pricing.

Huh...I get the same page as I did before. :/

Hmm well when I clicked on the purchase link it took me to a new page where my only choice was to buy Vue 4 for either PC or Mac. Perhaps they are still working on it but it went all the way to the final purchase submission for me earlier.

One thing to do, is NOT choose your country from the drop-down menu, but to click on your country's name in the world graphic. If you choose your country through the dropdown, it goes to the regular store. If you click on the graphic, it takes you to the special price. I just tried it on Europe, and the price was 99Euros. I'll definitely be picking this up as well.

THAT'S IT! Thank you, GraphicFoxx. That's exactly what was happening. I'm feeling like a dim light indeed. Sigh. I'm probably not smart enough for this software.

I feel ridiculous! Thanks, i just bought it! Pati

I got an answer from e-onsoftware: If you cannot buy right now, but you will buy, you can register at e-on's site. You must register (limited time!!) before November 30, 2003 but then you can buy (and pay) later, even only in a few month. I hope you like that:-) Guitta

Once I figured out how to get to the right purchase page, I went ahead and ordered it. :) It's a great deal, and the pre-registration is a nice touch.

Ok I JUST bought it. Just one more question - it says I got Vue 4 - I am assuming it is Vue 4.2 right :-) ?

Firebirdz, launch your Vue copy, then click HELP-->ABOUT VUE D'ESPRIT from the top menu. This shows you the exact version you have. Guitta

I think I got to wait for my copy to arrive :-) I just ordered it few hours ago. My hunch is that it is the latest version or at least the Version 4 which gets the 4.2 upgrade free.

Normally it should be already 4.2 (as far as I have heared from others). But anyhow the updgrades are always free:-)

It's the 4.2 version.

Nice dialyn:-). So we will see you maybe soon in the Vue forum? Welcome! Guitta
