Quote - It's now a powerful program that is intimidating and expensive.

I agree with you. I found Vue4 on a magazine as a freebie on the disk. Upgraded to Vue5 and then Vue6 and then was given a last chance upgrade to Vue11. 

Vue is a program I would love to learn how to use properly to produce some good backgrounds for the images I do in Poser. But I'm having problems navigating around it, getting it to produce something decent, because mainly needed a better computer. Each time Vue upgraded, the gap between computer and edition became. But I kept upgrading because I didn't want to lose out on a program that I could really use...if only....

If only I could find decent tutorials to help me produce something, to help me gain more confidence that I can make something with Vue. Without the price tags, why does it seem all tutorials for this program has a price tag on it. The higher price the program is, it seems the less chances there are for people to be generous with their knowledge and help others who are in the shoes they used be in. Ask questions and it's crickets I must not have used the secret code word in my post....as the Vue community is a secret society, that just answers why help costs and you don't get answers to questions because of not being a season ticket holder. 

Maybe I'm not looking in the right direction. I'll keep plugging away at Vue, but unless I get a good deal, V11 is probably going to be my last Vue edition.
