E-on seems to have addressed virtually every suggestion -- sometimes in a less-than-suggestion  tone, that I made (as well as many others did -- I'm sure), with Vue 6I.  It's obvious they rewrote much of the code from top-down, as there is little of Vue 5I in the demo pages -- many principles are still there, but the tools appear much different (and better!).  They even saw the light with terrain layering (a powerful feature in Carrara 4 & 5).

I’m very impressed, and only hope that the major bugs have been squashed, as this was my major complaint with V5I, especially when creating complex scenes to be rendered at high resolution.  Although V5I is pretty much a stable product now, the first 6 months was very frustrating for me!

I will say that E-on really raised the bar  with this release – I doubt anyone will be able to match Vue in the pure landscape department, certainly in the foreseeable future(?).

I will be upgrading – damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!
