I used Vue since version 4, upgraded until 2016 pro. At one time I had 5 dedicated PC to speed up network rendering.

I've been a long time supporter of "vue d'esprit", mostly because they were French. Vue is really aging and not really worth the "renting" price.

I'm opposed to any "renting" SCAM, which is unfortunately the fact for almost every program nowadays.

I'm trying to learn Gimp, Blender .... My office suite is LibreOffice. I donate regularly, this is much more ethically satisfying.

I'm absolutely opposed to give any money to Bentley ! The owners at Eon made a big stash of cash selling Vue. There's definitely something rotten in the kingdom of CGI, at least for us, hobbyists.

In the old days of internet, we were promised infinite knowledge and an infinite space of freedom. We, the people of the world, were turned as a source of infinite knowledge for a very few companies...
