"E-on software's new EcoSystem technology is patented (patent pending). You will not find comparable technologies in other 3D applications!"

It's just the way to create a huge hype around your product. Anyone can ask for a patent, but a lot of times it's not granted. Wouldn't be surprised if E-On doesn't get patent on it at all.

All of these 'smaller' companies like E-On, Curious Labs and DAZ need to create a huge hype around their products, otherwise half of the people that do buy would have never bought them.

Most people around here fall for these kind of hypes, are crazy enough to pre-order (without knowing what their getting into at all), only to find out they've bought something they will not use at all.

There are lot's of Vue users who never really use it for something serious at all. They're are lot's of Poser users who hardly ever use it all. Most people buying stuff at DAZ never even use it. All fell for one big hype.....

I don't even get the point of pre-ordering Vue 5 Infinite at all. What's the benefit to pre-ordering at E-On? At least at Curious Labs they give you a special deal when pre-ordering....

If E-On, DAZ, Curious Labs wouldn't be creating such hypes, they wouldn't sell half the stuff they do.

I'm not even sure if the EcoSystem will be half as good as claimed and I'm doubting it will really run well on the specs they give you. Perhaps if you render a small 320x240 image with final settings. E-On apps never run well on the specs they give you anyway. I always find a new release of Vue dissapointing, they always seem to add tons of features to the new version that I'm never ever going to use at all. HDRI, GI and so on are really great, but I'm not going to wait 3 days for a render, knowing that I'll have to do at least another 30 for the same project.

I'm afraid the EcoSystem will be equally dissappointing to me as most of the new Vue 5 features. All this new fancy stuff always needs a new fancy pc or else it's just not fun to work with.

I'm also having the feeling that this whole EcoSystem will be one huge dissappointment for people who lack the newest hardware.....

I'm also absolutely not impressed with the city animation they showcase at all. I wonder why they didn't do the same with trees. Even now in Vue 5 I can create a huge city only using simple blocks without a much trouble, using scatter and duplicate. You don't need billions of polygons for that..... I know for sure my pc isn't able to cope with 72 billion polygons anyway, no matter how clever you create the system, that is beyond it's current capacities.

By the way, I looked at World Construction Set from 3D Nature, it's pretty nice, but most of the stuff in the galleries hardly compares the some of the stuff seen in the Vue galleries. I know Vue lacks a number of features (which for some reason E-On seems to not be willing to implement them), but the renders created in Vue look lots better then those shown at 3D Nature.....
