Quote -  No sooner had I pressed the "post" button, I received an e-mail from E-on advising of a Vue 7.5 xstream PLE download.  I will give it a try and report back ... fingers crossed that it does not nefariously interract with any other software on my 8core, up to and including C4d.

I got that same notice today too about the 7.5 PLE. Hopefully that will help you and I would be interested in knowing myself. Right now, I use Modo and Poser Pro on my Mac Pro and soon plan to add "Mudbox" from Autodesk Mac version as well. I can say that it works fine with those programs but I do not own C4D yet.

Let me know what you find out and best of luck.
