Yet on the download page it says

• Poser import still doesn't work right (abnormal resource depletion, conversion errors). We are working this out with e-frontier. Thank you for your patience.

Why are we still beta testing this program?

Mine is definitely working better and I've not had any problems importing from P7 to Vue 6 Esprit

For my part, i had problem importing some hair (trans map ones). But even with the update, these hair don't want to come into Vue!

Blame e-frontier for changing the SDK, not e-on for this one

Why are we still beta testing this program?

It's simple.

We either wait that all poser related issues are resolved between e-on and e-frontier - possibily a long time.

Or we get updates when some of the major issues are released, as it is the case with this one.

Which one do you prefer ?

Frankly I'm a bit nervous about installing updates after issues with both poser and vue that other folks have had after installing them.  I most likely will not be upgrading to the newer versions as they come out since they don't tend to deal with issues in the prior versons, they just pile more stuff on to get us to part with our money. Getting tired of this trend with software.

The latest update works much better for me when it comes to importing Poser objects. I'm not saying it's resolved, haven't used to that extend, but it sure works a lot better now.

I agree... so far, it looks like as far as upgrades go, this one is a keeper.

Vue 6 Inf is much more responsive for me now. I am still going through my test scenes but it is looking good so far.

Hummm just going by what eon says, that it's still not right. Think I'll wait a little longer and see if they resolve it before I install it. Maybe they will fix it before poser 8 arrives.

Part of the issue is that e-Frontier changed the SDK for P7 and didn't share it with e-on before the release of Vue 6.  Part of the issue is that Vue 6 has a couple of huge memory leaks, we all know that.

For myself, I'm happy to know that e-on and e-Frontier are working together to solve the Poser/Vue issues so that the programs play nice together.

I am also glad they are working together, but I will still wait to see if they can resolve their own program issues as well as the poser issues.

I, for one, am chuffed at the new release. Vue blazes through my scenes rendering 300 dpi images of 9x12 on ultra settings. I have no problems with importing poser figs, my resources stay around 74% with no crashes.
So...lol...I am finally at peace.

Things are working pretty good for me too.  Just got my 3rd cow up and running (new power supply fixed it).  Can't see any new bugs, I'd say go ahead and update.  So far it looks like about 2 to 3 weeks in between patches. 

I've heard mention of 'rendercows' - what are they?

They are standalone render nodes to distribute rendering across multiple machines. One machine is the master and coordinates the 'cows' or slaves on other machines.
