Doing a lot of work in VUE lately and it's probably been one of the most frustrating and rewarding experiences.  Getting 90% of the way there takes 2 clicks, but  I've never had to struggle for that last 10% before in my life. If any other VUE artists out here have some pointers, I'm all ears. I'd love to chat on Skype on in Google+

I think the best way to put it would be ...
"This must be how the first VFX artists felt when they had to build everything from scratch and do everything manually"

Speaking of Google+
I haven't found any other artists on there. It's all marketing "gurus" stroking their own epeens by posting .gifs and videos from early 2000s and getting "roflmaos" from housewives who probably still use IE5.
So if you're on Google+, please find me before I go insane. kthx
