It really sounds like you're slamming e-on for adding new and better features at regular 2 year intervals. I got my first Bryce four and a half years ago and in all that time it's only managed to go up one and a half versions and hasn't changed very much. I guess that if you're afraid learning new features, that would be a good thing, but most people seem pretty keen on having their software keep up with the times, especailly given how fast 3D rendering technology is changing." I'm not slamming them at all, and a number of times I've said they are THE 3d world app out there. Since I'm not on their registered user customer list, I don't heard about new versions or changes until they are released. (I tried following thier own forums a while, but there mainly seems to be issues complaints or questions that were never answered.) But from the "outside" seeing 8 versions released in only 2 years does seem excessive, whne some of those versionsa could have just been free updates, like Poser 5 sr1,2,3,4, or Lightwave 8.0,8.1,8.2,8.3 I'm sure I'll take the Vue plunge some day, but I've been waiting for some stabalization of versions, but as I previously mentioned, every time I look, there yet another new version literally 2-3 months away, so I become discouraged in buying the current one.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
