I'm not intending for this to be a "load your old scene in v6 and push the render button" thread. I expect some tweaking to occur. It is more of a way to show how much better things can look by making some simple lighting and displacement changes. And yes, I know render times will increase. Just want to see if the changes added minutes or days. :)
This is kind of a "This is how my scene looked, but it now looks like this" kinda thread. :)

Wow Sacada, those are amazingly cool! Thank you so very much for sharing them.  When I see these displacements in action my mind soars with so many possibilities! :)
Just had a vision of the future trying to explain to my kids: "When I was your age we didn't have fandangled displace-ama-call-its. We had bumpmaps and we loved it! " :)

Just looked at your gallery Sacada.  Is that how you did the 'Vue Over Paris' image? Looks like what I was asking about. :)
Thread: Show us your early Vue 6 renders! | Forum: Vue
Sacada.Â
I looked at your displacement tutorial and it is very cool. I am wondering if you can do a test for me. In your tutorial, you turn a sphere into a bumpy sphere. Well to me, that final sphere looked like a planet and was quite a cool way to make distant planets! However I was wondering if you can do planets with water that way.
So could you test this idea: Take two spheres and place in the exact same spot. One sphere would be like the one in your tutorial with that same displacement mapping material. The second one will be slightly smaller and have a water material(no displacement mapping on it). So if I understand how displacement works, this should create a world where all the displaced sections will be filled in by the water sphere. Should make a cool looking water planet. Heck you could make an awesome Earth if you had the right maps. :)
Thanks. I would do this myself, but can't afford to buy v6 yet. :)
Thread: Show us your early Vue 6 renders! | Forum: Vue
There are two things I would like to see if somebody with it wouldn't mind testing.
1)Take an old scene and render it in an older vue program and v6. How do the render times differ?
If anybody has time to try this, it would be great. :)
Thanks!

:)Â Yeah, I guess you can call this the poor-mans calibration method. :)
(Topic done, you may lock this thread if you like) :)
Thread: How visible is this object | Forum: Vue
There are no more details to see, as it is flat black. I just want to know how much of the guitar people can see. For me, all I can see is the outline of the bottom section and most of the neck, but not the top of it(my screen settings are too dark to see the head of it as it blends in with the background).
The reason I am doing this is because I need to know what others may see when I upload my pictures. If everybody sees the entire outline, including the head section, that means my monitor is darker than most. If I design an image that relies on a lot of darkness and shadows I have to keep that in mind when adjusting the darkness of it. Afterall, a creepy scene can become silly if you can see things in the dark that I couldn't when I made the scene. :) Or if my monitor is lighter than most a dark scene may be way too dark and many won't see a thing.
Thanks.
Thread: The Book of THoTH - Cover Contest | Forum: Contest Announcements
Ok, I want to know what percentage of companies that need cover art are having these "no pay" contest. By the way you two are talking is it 90%? 95% of all companies are doing this?  You guys are acting as if the industry is going to go "no pay" soon and all these artsist will be out of paying jobs.
This is not a giant contest. Heck the book itself is done this same way! Aside from Philip, this book is all amateur articles and stories, and NONE of the are getting money! This contest is designed for amateurs that most likely won't sell their work on their own any time soon.  Have you two ever even looked at our side? We get no buyers for our work, yet we keep trying. When jobs out there want to see some credits of what we can do we have nothing to show.Â
But if somebody is willing to give us a shot, we'll take it. Basically it is like making a sacrifice to get our foot in the door.  Take a look at Youtube. They are making money from people giving away their "video art" for free. Should people who get paid to make TV shows freak out saying "what if every company used free user posted videos? Youtube should be giving some money back to the users." No. What do the users get? Exposure. And I am sure there are many in the business who will agree that a lot of exposure can be more helpful that a little money.
Thread: The Book of THoTH - Cover Contest | Forum: Contest Announcements
Despite how long I have been doing this type of art work I have yet to sell a thing. A chance to enter a contest and win a cover is a good thing in my eyes. Sure I don't get paid but as mentioned above, it will make a good portfolio piece in the future. Don't discount that mental boost winning this will do for the one who wins. Sure we can do this art stuff, but somebody wanting our work will give us that small mental recharge many like me need. Gotta start somewhere, and this 'little' win may be just the thing somebody needs to break out of the mold. :)
Thanks for the opportunity! :)
Thread: V6I displacement mapping | Forum: Vue
Awesome, thanks! I'm so excited about V6i. When v5i came out I was impressed but not enough to upgrade, but v6i makes we want to upgrade. :)
Thread: Vue 6 unveiled at SIGGRAPH | Forum: Vue
"If you buy any of the Vue 5 Products now*, you will receive your free upgrade to the corresponding Vue 6 product when it is released (download version, node-locked)"
(this was for somebody who asked if it was node-locked version)
Here is an odd pricing situation.   I have Vue 5 esprit. I can sidegrade to V5i for $399 and get v6i for free. If I want to just sidegrade to v6i it would cost me $499. Does that make any sense to anybody?

You had me at: "You can now paint EcoSystems directly onto the surface of objects." :) That and the meta clouds. Oh and displacement maps. Oh and... :)
I watched that small tutorial clip that shows ecopainting in action. WOW! That right that won me over! Amazing.
edit clip working now...wow
Thread: I'm not an idiot, I swear | Forum: Vue
I have Vue 5 Esprit so I don't know if this applies to V5I, but, in the options menu there is a way to config poser imports. Take a look in there and make sure it is set to the right version of poser and directed to the correct directory. Also I don't know if this still is the case, but you can't be running poser at the same time so make sure poser is fully shut down first.

You should just have your friend download the trial demo and see how it runs on their system. :)
