While you are talking about this, I have to say that in fact there is nothing for VUE ! of course we can find everything at renderosity... but a little something would be nice.

If you go at www.e-onsoftware.com there is nothing for the users of VUE. Be a picture of the day, download the latest update and that's it !
I don't understand why they don't include tutorials, tips and tricks on their website ! They could even copy/paste the tutorials made by Guitta, Martin, Varian and the others.

most of the beginners don't know how to use functions, how to replace materials on vegetation, how to avoid hours of rendering, how to optimize the working space, how to use Open GL with VUE, etc... they can come at renderosity of course but it would be more logical to go directly at www.e-onsoftware.com, don't you think ?

Moreover, It wouldn't be difficult for E-ON to release at least 1 free collection of new procedural materials. The standard materials and functions available in VUE 4 are not very good (nothing really new since VUE 2 !). A little gallery with free downloadable functions, materials and atmospheres for registered users is not asking too much...

It's great to be able to get a so powerful 3D software for a so small price, but e-on should keep it alive !

I have nothing to say against VUE4, it's just that sometimes I feel that all the others 3Dsoftwares (even freeware) have a website for their USERS, while the VUE website is only interesting for new CUSTOMERS.

I recently purchased Cinema 4D XL 7, and what you can get for it is amazing ! I'll need years to download all the free plug-ins and materials available at www.maxon.net...
most of these free stuff are done by the community of dedicate C4D users. VUE has also a nice community, so why not use it ? If e-on ask, I would be pleased to give them the tutorials I did, the procedural material and atmosphere I created... they would be at a better place at www.e-onsoftware than lost somewhere in Renderosity !

OK, I'll stop now otherwise Lynn and Steve will come...
