@bruno021: I got Vue6 Infinite, the specs say: "Enjoy better memory management, a native 64 bit architecture and improved efficiency in managing large scale scenes." I run the installer in both the op.sys. without problem, during the week end I will run some heavy scenes benchmark.

I run a E6600 CoreDuo system with a Intel 975XBX sys bd + 4gb ram and a QuadroFx board.

This system simply fly! It's much faster ( ~ 30 / 40%) than the previosly already fast AMD X2 4400+
And is extremely faster than any P4 based system, including the D dual core version.

Vue5 infinite and 6 take full advantage of both cores when it's time to render.

You simply need XP home or Pro 32bit version.

From the preliminary benchmark I made there is NO speed difference between 32 and 64bit op.sys. with the current Vue6 release running some supplied demo scenes. Other user opinion welcomed!

I run a dual boot system with XP Professional in one partition and XP x64 edition on the secondary one. I installed Vue6 in both partition and run some sample scenes just to check that everything run fine, no problem detected, but no significative performance gain of the 64bit op.sys Vs the 32bit. I believe it could only be handy when large size rendering are required or with very complex scenes. Both Vue6 install was activated without problem.

@Abraham: Same endless link here yesterday, I believe it's due to server overload, try later. @EA and ArdathkSheyna: Thanks for your reply, it's the definitive answer that my ExtrasCD is wrong, just made another download attempt but I always get the small file, the supplied link I've is defective... At this point I will be extremely grateful to anyone whe send me a PM with the working link. Oh, just to know, what's inside the ExtraCD contents ? Fine samples scene like the one supplied with Vue5 ?

Transfer finished! About the ExtrasCD.zip, only a single file inside called "caustics matt.vue", could someone of you confirm ? I've read that some user got a ~300mb ExtrasCD... About the broken link, same thing here yesterday but I believe it's due to server overload, give more try at different hours. This early morning at 03:00am GMT I get very fast speed. An early standup from bed just to launch the transfer could be very useful!!! I confirm that the downloader is able to resume broken connections.

Wow! It's 04:03am here, just restarted the transfer and I see a fabolous 230 kB/sec speed!

Quote - They email you the links and serial number, in a seperate email.

I got thrre in a row.. one confirming the purchase, one with the links (the extras cd is downloading now, with 26 hour to complete!), and a last email with the serial number

 

Thanks now I've the needed S/N.

26h to complete the ExtrasCD ? Again it's a total confusion, my ExtraCD contain only one file and is about 10mb unzipped, I read that other user have a much larger file (over 300mb).

Any large file successful downloader here just to explain what's inside ?

Ops... I found the needed s/n in the printable invoice...

How the serial number is delivered ? Via email or via the user page in the e-ON web site ?
My order is "shipped" but no s/n received at the moment...

I read lot's of  complain about corrupted downloaded files, I will be grateful if some user with successfully download could post md5 hashes of the install files, thanking in advance!

Quote - Got my emails! Yay!

And they supposedly have a new server, with 5 day download limit.

Of course, you can't even connect to the server, so I still can't even begin my slow download journey yet.

I'm happy for you and I'm also happy for the late E-ON attempt to fix the download problem.

Quote - Wonder why yours went through immediately, amd I'm still waiting?

 

No idea, I believe it's due to credit card type, issuer and time of purchase, I read on Vue forum that most tansaction are handled automatically bur certain must be hand processed, in this case it take longer. I found Vue support fairly responsive (18h)in answering my pre-purchase question. The download is proceeding terribly slow, 3% at ~10kB/sec.

I just purchased the upgrade from Vue5 Infinite and payment process via credit card went fine, I'm now downloading at slow speed ~15Kb/sec the main file using the E-ON downloader. I got the ExtrasCD.zip 2.8mb with only the caustics matt.vue file inside, a very tiny extras! Anyway I'm sure more will come in next days.

Quote - Since ther forums are deadlocked, maybe someone over there will get a clue, and start posting information here instead of over there?

I'd suspect they probably can't get into their own forums either.

 

I agree, E-ON and Cornucopia forums are unreachable also from here...

I run a dual boot system, one partition with XP Professional and the second partition with Windows x64 (64bit) edition.

I want install Vue6 in both partition because I usually use the 32bit environment, but for heavy tasks 64bit op.sys. allow better handling of 4gb ram I have.

Should I run Vue6 Infinite Node locked without problem ?

I'm also interested in purchasing, just a few questions: - This downloadable version is complete with sample scenes, preset and .pdf manual (like the cd1 & 2 of vue5 infinite). - It include both 32bit and 64bit version ? - The upgrade to the final release will be downloadable and free ? Thanks for any clarification. Mario
