I think Veritas777 has a perfectly valid point. Vue 5i costs $599. That may not be up in the price bracket of Maya or Max, but it's a damn sight more than Poser or Bryce. And for that one gets an application that can be guaranteed to crash on heavy scenes just from moving the camera around; a Poser import that's broken because of the stupid way the progam handles material zones; a vegetation editor that's laughably primitive; and no more added content than came with Vue 4.

If e-on think that people will wait for Vue 6 to fix everything, they may very well find that a lot of their customers are jumping ship for Carrara. At that price point, I expect professional quality software.

Thus the future of the Vue community is at issue here.
