Ladylake - Bah humbug Valentines sounds fun with all the twisted minds gathered here, ha ha...

Byrdie - Enjoying the treats, will get around to some chocolate of my own soon...  :)

Lunaseas - Looks like the cotton candy people have a Queen, lol, nice.  Also luv the tiger and the firey red head!

Gill - I used Vue a lot too, but I also didn't like the the eight to ten hour render times, that's if it didn't crash, lol, a fun buzz kill...  ;(

Len - Cool looking villain, I might try a few with some unexpected characters, good guys gone bad in a 'what if' universe eh...  ;)

Darkglass - Doing some excellent stuff as always, got me thinking about amber now.  Seems like 16:9 works in V4 ok

Bakapo - Looks like the reality in Wombo is fun, can't wait to see what else you find!

What helped kill Vue for me too is that now, if you don't spend money with them on the latest upgrade, you have to pay a whopping $199 for an activation code if you need to reinstall or have a new pc to install on.  I can't believe they did that.  You have to pay them to activate a programme that you've paid for (many times over in my case as I started with 4 d'Esprit!!) to get a code that they wrote into the installation to stop piracy.   Disgusting and disgraceful as far as I'm concerned.  I do still have 2015 Infinite installed on my current pc but this is at least 7 or 8 years old now, although I did replace the HD about 3 years ago.

When I was looking for something else last week, I found my original 4 d'E installation disk that I thought I'd lost or thrown away.  That, I believe is the only one that doesn't need an activation code so as and when I need it, I may install that, although myst of my content won't work in it as it's not backward compatible, but I can still use it for what I'm doing now which is promos for Etsy.  I have the original obj and 3ds the I created so I can re import them and retexture as best as can be done in such an old version.  In fact, I may try it out on my lappie when I have a spare hour or few.....
