So far the Vue 9 pre-release is running very nicely. I had a bit of time to play with the new "Hyperblobs". They can be a bit tricky to use because it is quite easy to end up with horrible geometry, but once you get the hang of it they can produce very cool shapes that were not available before in Vue. Here is a qucik example of a Hyperblob that consists of two spheres and a cylinder with a hypertexture material based on a Linear-Value-Gradient Perlin noise. Vue bakes the hypertexture info into real geometry at render time. Pretty nifty.
