I know some folk have had serious problems with Vue, but, V6 and 7 have been a lot better, but somehting to think on:

Just going from Rendo's posts:

• Adobe Photoshop -22,945
• Bryce - 260,366
• Poser - 1,035,394
• Vue - 123,853
• Rhino - 152,615
• Carrara - 50,417
• C4D - 84,555
• Mojoworld - 10,393

Show's Vue's popularity, hm? :)

Bryce used to be huge, and very active comunity as well as older.

Odd how Rendo has become such a hotspot for RHino users (like me)

Poser of course, dominates.

 Renderosity is a good place for Vue, which is why I like coming here, compared to say CGTalk, where C4D for instance has 292,877 posts compared to Vue's 11,636. 

Its nice to see the Vue community putting in such an effort on Renderosity :)

Hm, now that i think about it i cannot think of another site similar to Rendo that has a Vue community...not like ours anyway(;

Renderosity has been my "home" since shortly after I first learned about the 3D world - and that "normal" people can create beautiful things using the tools available.  that was... quite a while back now.

Ive only been a member of the Vue forum for a little over a year, and while some of the other forums here aren't as personable....

from day one I was made to feel welcome in here.

Even when people fuss at me for having opinions ;)

I split my forum time between Rendo, Cornucopia, DAZ and CGTalk, something like (50/40/7/3).

It is actually since i found rendo a few years ago that i became interested in Vue and shortly after in Poser and than there was Hexagon and then so on ...

Rendo is my homepage for a few years now and i never would have had the knowledge i have today without this community, which is on of the friendliest i have come across !!

The only downside is that from the moment i started doing this 3D stuff, my bank account went crazy LOL

I three months we'll know just how bad the economy is affecting Vue's as well as Rendo's popularity.

I agree with Sirenia, I seem to have luanched a personal stiumuls plan for Rendo vendors when it comes to being addicted and just buying "one more thing" to make the render what I want it to look like.  What was once a pretty good sized paypal account based on money made back in my Second Life days has become near pitiful because of buying Poser and Vue over the last year.  This has been great community and thanks for all the help.

Some more stats to play with :) The first number after the app is the number of pages of threads posted to that app's forum in the last 45 days. The second number is the number of pages of images posted in that app's gallery in the last 45 days. (using whatever the default settings are in user prefs.)

Photoshop didn't have a gallery (though its used in a lot of things in other galleries)  and "mixed medium" didn't have a forum, so no numbers for either of them in those categories.

Interesting that photography is bigger (numerically in terms of image posting)  here than poser and that Vue is #2 these days in the way of 3d app forum postings.
