I remember when incremental updates were FREE!  Alas, those days have past.

I remember Vue 6.60!

And I started with Vue 7 Infinite the Maintenance plan, that includes all updates free in subscription period. Things have changed :biggrin:

I'm stopping at version 10 for now.  The only new feature that interests me is the stacked eco-system.  Doesn't seem worth the $200-$300 to have it though.  Maybe Vue 13 or 14 will have enough new features to get me to buy the program again?  But arguing with e-on to get bugs fixed this time around for version 10 was not fun for its money.  I feel bad for the new people buying version 11, not knowing e-on's bug-fixing haggle routine.

Contrast this with Side Effect Software, who, even though I am using the non commercial version which obviously doesn't include support, respond to my bug reports and frequently have a fix next day!

3D-Coat.

I report a bug and I'm told that yes it's a bug and will be fixed (no arguing, no fanboys/PR guys saying it's the user's fault).  Two days later I get a twitter reply that the bug is fixed and an update is posted for download.

Hmm, from Vue 0.90 to 1.00 was free , but from 1.00 to 1.20 cost the full price, no upgrade there. But then again Vue 1.20 was only $99 :)

First mini update.

E-On has apparently set up an automatic process that creates a new build every once in a while (apparently on a weekly basis) and posts the update to subscribed users with the list of bugs corrected.

Also, I have kept updates since build 10501339 and they are labeled as Release Candidates and not beta.

Sorry, but can creating a new build be an automatic process? The development team has to fix some bugs and then create a build at that point, presumably the build undergoes some QA, after which an update is signed off for release.

I always keep the last three updates of any version.  You never know if the current update is the best one.

New Update:

Vue 10.5 Infinite - Build 10501575 - BETAThe following is a list of bug fixes and improvements included in this update:

• Fixed a possible freeze when displaying a render in full screen mode.
• Improved zooming with mouse wheel in Top/Side/Front views.
• Fixed "Use global illumination" option on Object Saving.

Thank you, Mazak--this build may address this weird thing where a Realms Art olive tree based on the Summer Cherry was not showing any textures at all--and not giving a "not found" error, either.

Your copying over the fix features is much appreciated.

It's a shame that e-on makes you pay for bug fixes halfway to the next version.
