Quote - 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.

The "Vue Galleries" Facebook group is indeed very active. There is nothing "Elite" about it. We have many Vue beginners as well as "Professionals". The only reason it got switched to "closed group" was the attack of spambots and some concerns of members that preferred not to have the group posts appear in their other feeds. I would be happy to send an invite to anyone here that would like to participate. Just drop me a message here at Rendo.

The group currently has 1367 members (of course only a subset of those is posting regularly). There are many questions, tips, and artwork posted every day. Of course we also have occasionally the usual ever recurring forum discussions (What is art?, is 3D art?, ...  Among the members are also the CEO of e-on software and several other e-on/cornucopia3D people. At least 5 of the 2014 Environment competition finalists are regulars in the group. There is also a quite large repository of files, tutorials, and other helpful things. 

Anyway, the Vue community on Renderosity might be dead, but overall it is alive and more active than it has ever been here or at any other form I have been to in the past 12 years.

Oh, and there are actully several other Vue groups on Fb focussing on other languages (German and French for example) or specific topics (SciFi or Plant design).
