As a total aside to the main point of this thread:
I alway save ever finished render as both TIF, PSD and BMP
this is in case I accidentlaly save over, delete or whatever one file. So at least I'll have the other 2 originals to work from!

As for "snobbishness":
The non-CG artworld is riddled with pathetic, moronic snobbery, and it disgusts me.
The CG world IS riddled too with snobbery based on how expsnesive an app is, as if "pro vs amateur" matters a tinkers damn, which it doesn't, when ti comes to art.
Sigh.
I've seen outstanding work made with house paint, sand, MS Paint, Bryce ten years ago (see Martin Murphy's work) , etc.

Chipp's a great guy about Vue, but far too unflappable! ;) He must be a Buddhist monk in real life to be that even-keeled.
(bit of a backhanded compliment, lol)

Vue has bugs, so does life, and?
The MAC issues seem very severe. I thnk E-On really should have a lot more public testing, ie more beta releases.
E-On needs more public involvement if only for a better relationship.
