I'm late here, only today I saw that they released it for free...I was just a casual user with a few renders, but I've seen Vue from the beginning...I have some nostalgic feelings now.

I stopped using Vue due to unbearable render times and many crashes.

Also a few days ago I've seen on YT a charmy little builder app, "Tiny Glade", (a brilliant diorama castle builder thing) with a real-time render engine, with always animated basic landscape...think if Vue could have developed in that direction. It seems that there are new developers popping up with similar ideas but with better implementations...it would be fun, for example, if Tiny Glade could be developed into a Vue-like landscaping program.

On the other hand, I also messed around with A.I. landscaping, NOW we have a "Make nice landscape" button, hehe, I could "make" images that was almost impossible in Vue eller Bryce, that was a crazy journey with the PromeAI. Still, on some level it makes me sad that it's over for Vue, despite it didn't like my computer, lol. Will grab what's left of it, see if they work on my old PC.
