Hi i am new here, I use Vue 2014 complete and even though it is very enticing to subscribe to the new Vue and plant factory I am planning to stick with Vue 2014.

I have been using Vue for many years and create game art packs with it on a regular basis.

The biggest issue Vue has is no GPU rendering, even with path trace now, I do not find the hybrid rendering to be on par with say Blender, using same High-end graphics cards.

I have tested the new Vue with my Sapphire r9 390 ( 8 gb vram) and there are no speed changes, also path trace doesn't allow to use dynamic ecosystem or procedural materials.

If I stack two of my graphics cards for blender, they will double the speed of rendering.

Hate Vue for rendering speed, you cannot make an animation with it without render farms, For that I use iClone.

2014 does not even support my high-end graphic card,

But all said and done Vue is amazing with what it can do. There is no other software like Vue. Period.

It is one of the tools I use with Blender and Zbrush and iClone.

If you do not want to subscribe, get hold of an older version of Vue and keep using it till your windows can support it.

I create game art packs with Vue every day and till I can earn enough with it, I am not going for the subscription.

Some of my Vue works:
