After months of beta testing, Vue Infinite is finally shipping.The latest iteration of 3D graphics tool by e-on software features 'ecosystem' materials, advanced control of materials, multipass rendering for compositing, and advanced lighting models recently included in the more lightweight Vue 5.
Beta testing was a lot of fun.
Going through the beta testing of Vue 5 and now Vue Infinite gave me some deep respect for the small development team at e-on.
It is easy to complain about the end result, criticise the lack of a particular feature or discuss what should be the strategy for new development, until you actually experience first hand the amount of work that goes into the development of a particular version.
So regardless how many bugs still remain (and there will always bugs to remain), the final release of a software committed to shipping is still cause for celebration.
