Hi everybody !
I wasn't very active on Renderosity since 2006, but when I look now on activity here, it seems very bleak when compared with the old good times. Number of posts in Vue forum has dropped almost 10x, number of published Vue images is almost 4x lower.
Any idea why it happens ?
Are people moving towards other 3D software, or just abandoning 3D, or maybe they shift their activite elsewhere? (ex. other forums )
Do you plan to buy Vue 13 or TPF 2 ?
E-on used to sell their software as it became available. Times have changed, and E-on now basically subscribes their software now. Most software companies do this with their customers (treat them like a paid subscription fee). That's why most software forums are drying up. Those that stayed with their favorite program either kept up with the software fees, or were able to make the software pay for itself. The others (most people), have old versions of the software and can't contribute much in forums because their software is not compatible.
