Thanks guys.
I'm going to open a ticket with e-on on this and let them know. OpenGL 2.1 surly shouldn't be eating that much memory.

James

I don't believe it, ...... I found the cause by pure accident just now. It's OpenGL 2.1

If I switch back over to OpenGL hardware the scene only uses 10% of my resources. Turn it back onto OpenGL 2.1 and the scene will take 70% of my resources and display critical memory errors.

Ok... I lived without that “feature” this long, I'm switching it off until e-on sort this out.

Hmmm... I understand but it's hard to get away from the maths on this one.
How can a scene that uses only 10% of my resources in Vue 7.51 all of a sudden need 70% in Vue8.

That's a pretty freaking big difference.

If I launch Vue 7.5 and 8 one at a time to see how much resources I have free when no scenes are loaded, there is only an increase of 9% for vue 8.

Right now I'm on my Laptop.
2.2Ghz Dual Core, 512MB Gforce 9600m GT, 4GB RAM and Vista 32.

I have a Quad Core desktop for doing my rendering, but I always create my scenes on my laptop because my desktop PC is in my Recording Studio and not my home.

WOW eonite .....!!!!
These are truly fantastic.

Have to say though as fantastic as the vue7 renders are, the vue8 renders are ultra realistic and it's impossible to tell that theses are CGI.

I'm totally blown away here and without a doubt, I will be buying these when released.

Cheers

Hi thefixer

Your missing out on about 916MB of data you never had before.

Infinite 7.5 extras disk size = 648MB
Infinite 8 extras disk size = 1.54GB

The 1.54GB for Infinite 8 is made up from 192MB of Objects and 1.31GB of Scenes.

Where in Infinite 7.5 it's 648MB is made up from 169MB of Objects and 478MB of Scenes

Hi thd777

Quote - Hi James,

There was no criticism implied in my reply and I don't see any reason to ignore you

Sure no worries, what I said was only a figure of speech. It's an  “Irish” thing we say which can mean ... “no worries, everything will be fine”.

Sort of an always look on the brighter side of life kind of thing.

I'm very happy with my purchase regardless of what bugs remain and I'm confident that I will get a lot more from this version than any previous version. Like you, it has many features I wanted for a long time too, so.... yeah, everything's cool.

Kind Regards
James

Hi thd777.

Don't mind me, I'm just disappointed because every bug I knew about in version 7.4 still remains in 8.0. I'm going to be very positive though and enjoy this release for all it's worth, so ignore me.

Regards
James

Hi Crowning.
That's because you made a purchase there and then to get it. Most of use would have paid a month ago and got 7.5 then, and a free update to 8.0 today.

James

Hi Mari-Anne.

Yes, after you download the program (your 628MB in download which came in two parts), install it and activate it. Once it's activated only then will disk 2 will be added to your account online at e-on.

It's a 1.1GB Zip file called Vue8Extra.zip (1.54GB extracted).

Kind Regards

Download... installed... not impressed.

E-on seriously need to slow down and stop being greedy here. I understand that they have to make a profit, but ever since these maintenance plans were introduced they are now on a clock to push forward with new versions, but they are pushing a head too fast and leaving a bloody mess of bugs behind them that they don't even have time to fix.

Things have are seriously going down hill here as far as quality goes.

James

628MB for disk one.
1.1GB for disk two.

So forget about doing this on dial-up.

Regards
James

I'm using Infinity 7.4 and I get the feeling I will be for a good while to come unless e-on does something really special in ver 8. Personally I think e-on are moving a little too fast as they are not fixing bugs as good as they used to in previous version.

James.

lol.... Thanks a million.
I'm laughing because I feel so stupid.

Kind Regards
James
