I completely agree (parodn the pun :P).
It's atrocious that there's no upgrade path there.

But as I've often said, I think they have made a mess, with far too many versions of Vue that are confusing for the user!
IMHO, Vue Pioneer should be free or just enough to cover their server / maintenance / bandwidth for it, to encourage wide uptake...or$50, I know they want ot make money but what is absolutley crucial, is USE RBASE. He who has widest use rbase (and are sitll happy with product) is King.

THen there should be Esprit, for about $150, and that would be the current "Pro" version.
Infinite should be $400, current price is bloody crazy!
And Xstream $700.

They are confusing users, and cutting into limited pockets far too much.

CobraEye,

Quote - The people at e-on are nuts for all these crippled versions of vue.  What waste of time.

I think the entire price of this upgrade is wrong.

But let's face it...  Vue has really reached it's limits and it's time is short.    But the render times are terribly long...

I hope some new software comes along and takes its place soon.

Well there are ot many versiosn of Vue for too high a price at upper end.

I agree prices have been too high this time aorund.

Limits? what are you talking about? Vue's one of the best mid-range apps there is, for goodness sake.
Uh, no they aren't least not in Version 7. Even MAX etc can't jus thit a button and give you a rende rin 5 seconds.
Caveat, rela time rendering IS coming, but at moment it's INCREDIBLY expensive and cannot do complex scenes you cna make in Vue.

Oh great, cut your nose off to spite your face!
I don't use Bryce any more, but I sure as heck wouldn't be pleased if it was discontinued. A healthy market requires competition...you may have missed that bit, and I gain no pleasure from having folk who love an app or item, having it ruined for them.
