As a former Vue user, I think I won't really use Vue again. I let it down when eon-software has been bought by Bentley and now I really prefer Twinmotion and I really don't understand why there is not a twinmotion community here. It's not only an application for architects and it's free for hobbyists. I posted my last Vue image on renderosity in may 2010... 14 years ago already, and when I look at the images made with Vue in 2024, I don't see big differences with what we did 14 years ago.

True. VUE's rendering has not changed since 2010. Its obsolescence was artificially planned to keep users re-buying it for over a decade without any improvements made other than the GUI. Hobbyists figured this out long ago and left. Renderosity and Cornucopia3D both lost their data history at some point with no backups. So there was nothing to come back to.

Poser users are still here. It's kind of what Renderosity made its start from.

That is simply not true - the Vue render engine has changed a lot since 2010. A Path Tracer was added, the newest beta has a first (and last) appearance of Cycles. More as a tech preview that now becomes a bit obsolete, but with some limitations you can use it a lot. And even the Raytracer has changed a lot, it is simply not THAT obvious to people who have not used the software since then.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.
