Well i didnt have many bugs or crashes, but I'm probably not "hardcore" enough, i guess i only use a very small bit of vue's potential and luckyly this bit is whats running stable.
Personally I am very happy with vue 6, but i think its only as i only have it for a few weeks now and just played around a few hours here and there. And I'm still amazed as i come directly from vue 4 and the functions you may already know from vue 5 and dont notice is all new for me.
I'm feeling a bit ripped off when i wanted to install rendercow and wondered why i cant use it - took me quite some time to notice that i need to buy another 30 Euro module "just for network rendering". I can understand that they want money for building up a render farm with like 100 nodes, but this really annoyed me. I read the manual and it describes all stuff how to set it up, but it didnt mention a single word about that you need an extra module for extra money to use it.
But the best thing was when i opened up the new materials and thought like "Ah, paint - cool that they added this" and you select the material and it asks you to buy the materials from cornucopia now. THATS REALLY NASTY! Eon you mean old men, if you dont wanna include a material, then leave it out. I dont pay over 200 bucks for a software that always tells me like "Buy this now, buy that then". This is how these ringtone companies rip off teenagers, but no professional business behaviour. AT LEAST ONE DAMN MATERIAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT CATEGORY. Then i could maybe have forgiven eon.
I already thought that i should maybe buy vue infinite, but why waste another 300 bucks? I already bought 3 extra modules and probably i buy infinite for much $$$ just to have infinite tell me what i could get if i buy xstream, eh?
I really feel a bit fooled, but still Vue 6 is my favorite rendering program. Its just delivered with a great "but..."
My 10 cents, i can really understand how you guys feel with having crashes and stuff not working on top of that.
