To follow earlier 32-bit releases
Several beta, 64-bit Cocoa versions of Vue 8 should be released by early 2010, says developer e-on. Vue is used to generate and render realistic 3D environments, and is primarily divided into Infinite and xStream editions. Both should be updated to v8 in the fourth quarter of 2009, but only as 32-bit applications, limiting their top-end performance. Some multiprocessor improvements are said to be possible when using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Infinite and xStream betas may become available as soon as the end of 2009, an option for registered users of their 32-bit equivalents. Esprit, Studio and Complete betas will only follow once the first two Cocoa distributions are released. It is not known when finalized 64-bit copies will be published.
