Upgrade from V5 to V8?

[slbrez]

As a long-time EI user, I'm wondering if it is worth my while to upgrade from Universe 5 to EIAS 8. Universe 5 does the job for the large streetscapes and detailed models with many parts I do, does 8 handle large files better. Or more specifically, what are the advantages of upgrading?

Ola,

Do you need to update right now? otherwise, please wait.

My Suggestion, wait EIAS 9, it handles a lot of things better :)

Import files better and faster, handle large files really better and render complex scenes with GI and Photons in large formats using Multi-processors and 64 bits, not counting the new features which will be reveled in the release.

Thanks

Tom

thanks, I'm not in a rush if you say it will be worth the wait. I hope you've got some good camera matching included.

Ola,

EIAS 8 already include simple panoramic camera match moving tracking, but, if you need to use complex 3d tracking Cameras, EIAS imports Boujou .ban files, Autodesk Match Mover files and Synth Eyes files.

I do all my films with SynthEyes and already used Boujou 3D tracking too (perfect 3d matches with real Cameras)
