I have the new issue of 3D World, but haven't installed it as I already have Vue 4, however, I did notice that they're calling the free version Vue 3 LE ... it's apparently not the full Vue 3. You can upgrade for about $40 USD. If you like the app, especially if you're a Poser user, you'll eventually want to upgrade to version 4, which is quite powerful. Starting with these free earlier versions and then gradually upgrading is probably the least expensive way to get to full Vue 4. The most common complaint about Vue 4 is that Open GL, which enables more view panel options, doesn't work for everyone. It's "iffy" on my machine, so I just turned off the Open GL option and use the default wireframe views. Once you're accustomed to them, they're fine. I've never had problems with the app crashing, not even when I was still using Win98. Sorry to hear about that, xantor ... it really is a beautiful app but like all of 'em performance will vary from system to system. It'll be very interesting to see what Vue 5 entails, especially now that the VuePro exists.
