Quote - > Quote - Eventually, all Python scripts will be able to be run on all Vue platforms. I think e-on is just finalizing the way this will work on the Artist series platforms. So yes, SkinVue and other Python Scripts such Vue Tools, etc will all run on Complete and every other Artist product. The only reason I got Infinite was to have the ability to author Python scripts. Otherwise, I probably would have opted for Complete since I don't use any of the high-end animation features or multi-pass. I have only a small 2 computer render farm (3 when I can get my laptop running).
Thank you for your reply, Dave but does this mean the present SkinVue7 will work with Complete as it is now or do we need to wait for a different version of SkinVue for Vue Complete or wait for Complete to be updated with Python support? I am sorry if I am being dense but these new versions confuse me.
Perhaps the difference between Complete and Infinite is not too great at the moment for the average user but I am still worried that this gap will become greater with version 8 and I will be left with no way to upgrade if I go with the Complete version. I guess my customer confidence is rather shaky with the present actions of E-on and it is for this reason I am in no hurry to upgrade from V6 Infinite.
On the SkinVue question, it's the exact same product that runs on Pioneer thru xStream. The only difference is that for the Artist products, you use a run-only version of the script that will run with the run-only version of VuePython for the artist products. The functionality is identical. The only reason for having two SKinVue products - one for Artist and one for Infinite/xStream is how the Python code is compiled. The user will see no difference at all.
