It isn't eroding at all..... it has already eroded. There is no Vue community anymore, not here, not at Cornucopia3D, E-Onsoftware or any other forum. The last thing I heard is that there is a facebook group that is quite active, but I'm not sure how many people are in it. Seems invite only and a bit secluded.

I know what happened here, Rendo just chased everyone away by there way too hostile and controlling attitude at times.

Also Vue isn't what it used to be anymore. While they still have artist/hobby version, they don't promote them anymore. They focus on the pro users, like studios and such. They basically left the artist and amateur user in the cold. Vue has become hard to use, they support is pretty bad, unless you own the high en version. Vue has become very expensive to buy and especially to upgrade. While they have low end versions, they're not worth buying since they're way to restricted. To do anything decent you need Studio or Complete and those are expensive. On top of that all the mediocre updates they release each year.

With the focus on pro users, the community slowly died. Artist and hobby users are the ones active in the forums, but they're not in the numbers they used to be. Vue has become a very expensive hobby, so people stop buying. Most pro's have a certain attitude. They don't want to mingle, they don't want to help, they don't want to share their knowledge. They rather start closed and secluded facebook groups.

I was part of one in the past and they behaved so elitist that I left a few weeks later. I guess that's what happened and that is also what happened in the past here. A couple of users started to act very elitist and basically destroyed the community..... I remember that very well and I'm kind of surprised that some of them show up again these days.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
