I think what has happened is this. E-on was hyping VUE5I as the next big thing for major motion picture, enviromental FX work, ( and with ecosystem, it certainly could be) kind of the way the various crowd generators were so hot after Lord of the Rings. So,they rush it out, hoping to catch buzz at E3 and CES and Siggraph, etc. But, it's broke. So, they try to fix it, but they have a small staff ( I'll bet you 10 or less full time staff and 2-5 freelance programmers). Now, I wouldn't have so much of a problem with the thibg being a flakey as a dandruff festival, but a.) I am working, professional illustrator with real deadlines and budgets and b.) the thing cost $600.00 and doesn't come with a fifth of the content that Bryce ships with at half the price!
