Agiel- I know you've been a long-time Carrara user. You certainly have your own point of "view"...

But you said in an above post "Of course, they may not have the features you are asking for, but they have their own business plan."

So- how come you then said "And please, leave your own interpretation of e-on software's 'business plan' out of the picture. Unless you have a valid source of information from inside e-on, this is pure speculation."

...So only YOU can comment on their business plan? Or maybe you KNOW their business plan- but none of US know- or you have your "inside" info???

Actually their "business plan" seems pretty obvious now- they are leaving us in the low and mid range behind- I think. What will show up in Vue 6 will be whatever they think will be enough of a gimmick or two to make us upgrade again. With LOTS of new bugs for version 7 to fix...

I invite anyone to check out the NEW features added to Carrara 5! The list is HUGE and very impressive! Note how many that VUE 5 does NOT have- but that Vue users have been BEGGING for- for YEARS!

The entire STYLE of Eovia is NIGHT and DAY compared to E-on! Eovia appears by all accounts to be an open, approachable company- very interested in what their user base wants- and appears to make every attempt to add new features that they can- as people request them (within REASON of course- they won't add EVERYTHING). E-on on the other hand is like dealing with the old Soviet Union! Very secretive, paranoid, unfriendly to 3rd party plug-in developers, very SLOW to fix bugs, and often, it seems, making things WORSE (the Cornucopia Store FIASCO went on for 4-5 months I think- anyone with any sense of PR (Public Relations) would have done back-flips to get it fixed in DAYS, if not a few WEEKS...  But this is the STYLE at E-on.. "Let Them Eat Cake... those Stupid PEASANTS...!!!
