@CobraEye,

Quote - "Vue 6,  "can do wide open landscapes with infinite terrains, if you want new and more realistic clouds, if you want to be able to paint ecosystems in the main view, if you want to make rough oceans and control the foam on the waves and shores," Vue 6 can do all this if the time is taken to learn the controls save the painting in the perspective window."

Yes, maybe if you dedicate a lot of time and have a lot of knowledge, I guess you could do in Vue 6 something similar to a Vue 7 "infinite terrain". I would love to see your attempts at this. :-)

Yes, maybe if you dedicate a lot of time and have a lot of knowledge, I guess you could do in Vue 6 something similar to a Vue 7 "spectral-2 clouds". I would love to see your attempts at this. :-)
I have tried and failed.

Yes, maybe if you dedicate a lot of time and have a lot of knowledge, I guess you could do in Vue 6 something similar to the results you can get with the Vue 7 "water editor". I would love to see your attempts at this. :-) I have tried and only partially succeeded.

Anyway, your comments are also generally true if you have just Vue 5. Why even buy Vue 6?
With a bit more of time and knowledge, you could maybe even do it in Vue 4. :-)

Quote - "And by doing these things with vue 6 instead of 7 the program is understood better, since a slider is not doing the creating."

So, do you advocate that programs should be difficult to handle? Extrapolating your idea, then instead of sliders we should have, say, scripts and text commands? Hmm... I've seen this somewhere... Yes, I remember, in the 80's many things were like this! :-)

Quote - "There is practically a boycott on vue 7 (go to e-on forums) because of the outrageous pricing and the fact that it is still beta with many bugs that were promised to be fixed last year."

e-on forums? Those were invaded by a small group of people who just have to post on each single thread, always bashing Vue and always repeating the same things. Because they seem like an echo, they seem like a big crowd. I don't go there anymore and wouldn't advise anyone to go. It's a very unpleasant place to go.

Quote - "I predict the price will come down in the next few months."

That's not too hard to predict because every manufacturer has promotions now and then. :-)
