        Not always so long, I do not know what it depends, but very quickly get renders with native SU textures, without bamps or displacements, which is still not visible in big sceens ...

          I just downloaded VUE Pioneer. Tried to look at the Kick Start Tutorial, but it keeps flickering and there's no audio.

              Oh yea, Pioneer is a basic version, without most of the bells and whistles, they have a new trick, you can buy modules as you need until you have them all and your version becomes the Vue Complete as that's all Complete is, Pioneer with all the added modules.
              However you cannot upgrade from Complete to infinite or xstream (heads up), I use Vue 7.2 infinity.

                has anyone tried the Skp import in Vue 7 Esprit / Addon 3D import Pack ( http://www.e-onsoftware.com/products/vue/vue_7_esprit/?page=3dimport ) yet?

                  Yes, it works fine, I cannot talk for SU7 as I still prefer to use SU6 pro and there is no problem with the .skp importer.

                    So Pioneer isn't really the best to try out VUE then? If there any way to play with all the bells and whistles?

                      Try the Personal Learning Edition.

                      "The PLE is for personal, non-commercial use only, files cannot be exchanged with other PLE users and are not compatible with other versions of Vue, renders may be watermarked and carry a logo."
                      Other than this, it's fully functional.

                        I'm getting ready to do an animation for a project, I decided to use Vue for this task. I probably will not get the oppertunity to post the final animation as I have signed an NDA already but in setting up the animation I am doing a few simple tests with simple objects in order to get certain effects and timing right. I will post some low rez animations here so that if anyone that uses Vue ever needs such an effect they can just ask me.

                        Wind effect on plants, ball to represent a car driving past plants on road side.

                          This is great in Vue. However... So however, the draft would "suck" the plants towards the vehicle instead of blowing them away when it passes by. But I guess that's also feasible.

                            I really think that VUE would be useful in my office for when we have projects with lots of landscape. I just need the time to get into it.

                              I'm also planning to use it (or better to say "get it used") on a certain project. BTW Pete, I didn't forget - it's just slow response from the client. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                I'm downloading the PLE now.
                                While I wait; I tried the free version, and rendered a simple terrain and some clouds but even at the highest render setting the render turned out grainy. I couldn't find any "advanced" settings to fine tune.
                                Is the free different from the PLE/all the bangs and whistles-editions?

                                  When you have the PLE I will walk you through the settings as you did for me with Vray on how to get a crisp render.

                                    Thanks! I'll look at some of the video tutorial first, (if I can make them work,... seem to be flickering without audio on my machine..)

                                      Do I want to install the 32bit version of the product too? Is there any need for that?

                                        Not sure what you mean, do you have 32 bit or 64?

                                        I have 64 bit and not installed the x86/32bit version.
