Yes, I'm excited to see what they've added in 6 too! Vue's always broken new grounds with each release - I can't wait to see what it will be in 6.

I tried C5Pro but was very disapointed. The feature set is impressive alright. It promises a lot, but  in the end, I found it rather, um, shallow. Like an application that's trying to do everything but doesn't manage to do anything really well - it's stretched too thin. But it's definetely worth cojnsidering if you're looking at getting into 3D. If you're serious, I'd recommend Cinema4D or LightWave (they had a great deal with eon until recently).

My 2 cents :-)
