Yes I'm using the updated 2 pack on Poser 8 and Smith Micro, and I appreciated the offer, but you are still missing the point, Vue 8 is a major step back compared to the other Vues where I don't need to "tweak" to get to work at all, and I have been doing some tweaking and it still hates the shaders for V4 and M4 no matter the "Tweaking". And although I appreciate the offer, I have been working with the two programs for a very long time and know them as well as anybody. I would have been happy if at least Vue said they were working on a fix instead of "you will just need to tweak them" answer I got, but between the piss poor reply from service and Vue 8's performance I am solely disappointed in Eon right now! Here is direct side beside render between V8 and 6I using the exact same file rendered in both packages and using same settings!

Shawn you are still missing my point I guess, and it's not worth the disagreement, but what I am saying is Vue 8 is by far inferior to it's predecessors, and thus a step backwards as is their response! My images you viewed with poser figures are imported straight without "Tweaking" and look great IMHO:). The renders with Vue 8 when it doesn't crash are awful! I don't expect perfect... but taking 4 steps back and paying such a high upgrade price! I checked your gallery also and see you don't use Vue with poser, at least not as evident from your gallery, where I have used the programs extensively and up until Vue 8 with always very pleased!  But when a program doesn't do what it is advertised as doing, and you pay hundred's of dollars for that... and it doesn't deliver!  Well apparent you like Vue 8 and don't see my side... so will will have to agree to disagree. I hope they do fix Vue 8, as I would love to continue working with what was once a great product line! Because I can bet I won't get a refund... but they wont' get anymore money from me at this rate! And I agree with JDC, I'm sticking with Vue 6I... works awesome for me:)

Peace

Read my post! I've had vue since version 4, had 5, 6 and 6I, all work great with importing poser figures, yet Vue 8 is horrible, the worse import I've seen with a 3D application! I imported the same file in Vue 6 and 6i and it render beautifully... loaded same scene in Vue 8 with the same settings on the same computer... and it renders like crap! And since it is using the poser render shaders... the poser figures should look like poser renders or close at least!  I'm saying Vue 8 is a step backwards not forwards and for the price is not acceptable! Look at my gallery, all done with Vue... I'm very experienced with Vue and have been for many years including making my own custom shaders and tweaking the software! My point is Vue 8 is a major disappointment as is their response to my problem especially with all the money I've sent their way! I've also use Poser since version 1 so i know the programs and how to tweak well!

But I'm not paying for new programs that suck, and so far Vue 8 sucks and doesn't do any think better! Plus the response form them was the same! I would have agreed with you once upon a Vue... just not with their latest release and the crappy response I got! I hope they fix Vue 8 soon or I'm requesting a refund... really disappointed and I too though Vue forever... but even forever ends:( 

I've checked daily and no new updates... and Vue and poser shaders are horrible! I've had 4 versions of Vue and Vue 8 is the 5th and latest and by far the worse yet... and Vue support has really sucked! When I posted my detail problems all of which I corrected with out their help initially except for rendering using the poser shader tree from Poser 8, all they said was I'd have to tweak the textures in Vue to get them to work. Then why use the poser shader render option if I turn it off to tweak in Vue??? I can render the same two files in Vue 6I and Vue 8 and the poser figures look totally different especial V4 and I'm using the same settings exactly! Abd Vue 6I looks great and Vue 8 awful! This will probably be my last Vue purchase with the attitude I got so far from them... and I was a major Vue fan!
