vue6 Infinite

Well time has come and e.on did deliver, granted it´s no more then a pre release, but it is working, it is as solid as expected out of an pre release and it is very feature rich.

Beta testers has been hard at work to make sure this is the best vue release ever and the fact that e.on did go with the pre release route this time marks an important change in their philosophy and i have zero doubt that once the real deal gets released vue will elevate itself from the other landscape and scenery applications out there.. More then ever.

With this said, i do have to say that the v6i pre release do have it´s shortcommings, duh, it´s afterall still in development so whom would have expected anything else.

The good´s
- the render engine, it´s a big step up compared to v5
- ecopaint... such a smooth workflow and joy to use
- workflow improvements, neat little details has made vue even more userfriendly
- spectral atmosphere, big thumbs up e.on
- real clouds, when it finaly happened in vue land it delivered a solid experience for sure!
- pipeline and workflow improvements
- renderbull
- reposing inside of vue
-alot more, which we´ll touch upon later on

the bad
- still no real fluid engine
- no real solidgrowth 4 improvements (flickerfree doesnt cut it for me).
