Well, that's interesting news! I think I may have to try it out. However, first thoughts from a Vue user perspective; while I can appreciate why the image size is limited to 640x480, I feel it would have been better to allow a larger size so that a decent comparison in render times could be seen - just disable the picture save option. I never render in less than 800x600 (rarely)- my usual minimum is 1024 wide at least. This is just a comment - not a criticsm. Thanks for the heads up, Guitta!

i was alittle premature there :( the download link they sent me isnt working.. aaa the joy of anticipation :) lol

talk about annoying, is the download link u get emailed to you after signing up for the vue4 pro trial working for anyone else?

hi Lynn and thanks for stepping in, although the problem isnt finding where to sign up for the vue pro trial, the problem is with the link that you get emailed to you once you has signed up for the vue 4 pro trial. so in other words :) the link to sign up for the vue 4 pro trial works but the emailed link to the downloadable vue 4 pro trial isnt working for me for some reason A well i guess ill have to wait a few days until its sorted out :) Once again thanks for stepping in.

Very nice "page not found" for the download.. This gonna be fixed?

So fill in your complaint in the "help us improve our service" box, at the bottom of the registration page, one of these days they'll actually try that. :)

been there.. done that

well the zip is there now so u know it, but after finaly downloading it simply refused to install, so im playing the guinea pig now and re downloading it :)

Ok all is well in paradise now, zip is up and the installation is working so go ahead and dl it :)

I've deleted my former complaint-post because the link appears to have been fixed. I'm downloading the demo .zip right now, ya-hoo! Thank you very much, Lynn and e-on. If I whined, it was only out of frustration because I was so excited about the demo. :-)

how about including some demo scenes to play with... d
