I filled in all the right numbers, etc to TECH support at e-on... then I posted this:
I will try this here one time, as I don't have much faith in the "system"... but I have HOPE... I use a PC. My son just checked it all out and even replaced my 2 gigs of ram (and now my vue 5 Infinite is RUNNING VERY FAST AND WILL EVEN USE OPEN GL IF I WANT...that is how good my machine is!)...
I have:
AMD Athlon 3000+ 64 bit motherboard/cpu made for XP HOME SR 2.
2 Gigs of DDR 400 ram sitting in duel channel ram slots.
Video card Vision Tek XTASY ATI Radeon X700 with 256MB DDR Memory
19 inch ViewSonic G90f (graphics monitor) running at 1280X1024. I do have "large fonts" on, because of my vision problems.
My problem is that my PC version of the beta Vue 6 is sooo slow with any imported figure... each window updates one at a time... Moving the imported figures is slow, like they are "HEAVY" for vue...just ONE figure in an empty scene! (with a simple single specular cloud atmosphere) I HAVE turned OFF open gl, background draw, every single thing not needed.
I do not mind working in wireframe (however oddly the "wireframe" in vue 6 shows as a MASS OF RED LINES not just a few lines as in vue 5). I see my MAC friends working fine with figures and plants - complex scenes and I am so frustrated! I heard the last update BROKE some things, especially in regards to the poser import so I have not put that on.
I guess I just need reassurance that the e-on team IS working for the PC side of the software bugs and that my vue 6 will someday really work as well as vue 5 .... and will have all the poser import/posing ability it should? OH and I use Poser 6.3 only.
I broke my own rule, I was so excited for vue 6 infinite..my rule to buy a "beta"...and I thought it would work for me on my PC as well as my MAC friends reported... but... NOT! :(
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
and please folks do not ask me to update to xp 64...all my other (some very old) software and my $$ is just fine... I will not spend more for vue 6... and I DO have patients... just WISH I could use the beautiful render engine I see on my PC when I render ONLY sky and water... yes, even water looks good in 6 to me....after my fights with water in vue 5 (solved by usign a terrain in 5)...
But I thought I should put in an official complaint there instead of just talking in forums about the situation. :)
