Every company with integrity should do this. If you have a product that you are abandoning - don't just sit on it forever. Give it to the people.

[@Democracyphobia]

Even better turn it into an open source project so that the community keep it Alive .

[@justshady]

@@Democracyphobia they can't they are using the code somewhere else.

[@xdn_t]

ppl will make it better than it ever was

[@rmt3589]

Agreed.

[@millthor]

I’d love to see Autodesk do that with Softimage and NVIDIA with MentalRay. But you know, competition…

[@spatialoptic]

Oh my goodness you’re kidding me. I stopped using this years ago because the fees were ridiculous! Now it’s free! What’s next? Poser? Character Creator and iClone?

[@void-stare]

[@outofrhythm9670]

I take Daz over poser anytime

[@supertaurus2008]

This software is really a boon for artists and it creates really amazing results. Also remember we are getting the Plant factory which is an amazing plant creation tool. All these can be exported to unreal as well. Only thing is you cannot sell any of these models.

[@UnknownDino]

You can't sell the end result?!

[@ThinkingREED999]

@@UnknownDino Yes you can. Only thing you cannot sell are models from plant catalog which is kinda obvious. But you can totally create any plant in PlantFactory and sell it

This rminds me of BRYCE 3D 20 years ago.

[@EriccsonVerschon]

Thumbs up for the Bryce 3D reference. 👍👍

[@Acrimonious_Snake]

Bryce is still available from DAZ, although it probably needs a scaleable interface update for modern screens.

[@androidfarmer8863]

[@JM-yn2lw]

Ah....Did you show the finished render?

[@JKVisFX]

This is nothing short of amazing. Vue is something I have always pined after but could never justify the cost. I wonder though if this means the end of development for Vue. I am also really curious about why they made this move; purchasing E-on out and then just giving it away. Doesn't make sense unless there is something else behind it that we don't know. Who knows? I'm just glad to have it.

[@Rice8003]

killing the competition? Who knows

[@tiefensucht]

Because the software is outdated and no one needs it anymore. You can do landscape generation with most software today at a higher level of flexibility and quality.

[@ChrisM-tn3hx]

Thank you very much for this. I've got Unreal Engine set up on my machine, and am planning to learn how to do some of this stuff. This will be invaluable. I would never have known I could download these for free if I hadn't seen this video. I also really appreciate the basic overview.

[@GryphonDes]

Saw the Bentley announcement over the weekend and pulled down Vue & PF :D So excited to dive back in! Vue was always a favorite

[@prathamshenoy9840]

[@phischphood]

Totally excited about this! I played with Vue D'esprit 2 I think, back in the 90s, but haven't used it since due to the price.

[@kikijewell2967]

Thank you for this overview! I'll be trying this today!!

[@OlavSchneider]

Amazing I used this from version 6 and had a license for VUE 7. Can't wait to do some cool stuff with this again.

[@nicholaskuebelbeck7184]

Thank you, I enjoy watching your creation process evolving!

[@sabongdotnet356]

Is there a Blender plug in? Does it work with blender?

[@creativekaii]

[@WoolyJumper5]

Wow.. amazing - thanks for the heads up!

[@rionix88]

thank you for the update

[@Argyll9846]

I had a license to Vue quite a few years ago - gave up because of the ongoing costs - and I can see that its complexity hasn't changed.

[@user-cw3zb9vw4v]

Thanks for sharing this software to us 👏

[@Kate-Tea]

as someone who does surveying with bentley I usually despise their software but this is pretty cool

[@MoneyShifted]

how did they even get an LLC to have the name Bentley?

[@MoorishMade]

probably a DBA under Bentley Systems

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Also copyright takes into account areas of industry

[@roofoofighter]

LLC name is based on state. However, trademark is another thing.

[@BoldBrainWay]

[@TheAlbinobatman]

Yes .

[@TezzRah]

could i use this to generate things to use in unity or is it mainly for intensely rendered animations? could I create equirectangular panoramic HDRis from the renders?

[@Jordan-dr9hq]

Good question. I hope someone knows

[@TheRello115]

There are some Realtime Plant Presets. you can also create LOD level and billboards. So yes its also build for game engines

[@MichaelNichol]

Ya I started with Bryce back in the late 80's LOL, and True-space was also cool hahaha Ya Vue was a real hog for sure took forever to render hehehe. bought the E-ON Vue along long time ago and now it's free hahaha

[@jystewart2500]

[@_gabrielln.dop_]

Noob here... would you in theory build a landscape in VUE and then export it to UE5, then retexture/light/animate in UE5?

[@ashokramanujam535]

can you use the enviroment on blendeR?

[@gu9838]

oh vue was neat!

[@Bartetmedia]

It reminded me a little of Bryce 3D

[@sajidshahnawaz8127]

Can we use this instead of UE5.4 for creating game environments? Because if this is lightweight compared to UE it would be a life saver!

[@askNK]

Contrary to popular believes, this doesn’t cost that much to run. 4+GB to 8+ GB of VRAM and 8+ to 16+ GB of RAM should be enough to run this.

[@reojack5665]

Which is better? Speedtree or plantfactory? Ignoring prices and learning curves which produce better results and are easier to use?

[@anthonymerle310]

SpeedTree is likely better. They are both really powerful though. One huge difference is that SpeedTree natively supports the integration of photogrammetry.

[@Ceisri]

Is it any useful for game dev?

[@xanestudios]

This looks huuuge

[@Nushi1098]

Man as soon as I saw Bentley I thought fuck that! But this tool looks amazing! Much better than Microstation 😂

[@massimoconcimedia612]

Lol as a civil engineer and designer, Bentley MX had dropped of the radar in the industry years ago. Good to see them leading in something again

[@thelemetric]

leading to the toilet. they bought this software and tried milking it with saas. never took off.

[@xzenor]

Dude... Did you have a plane to catch?

[@DennisCaunce]

is this a reworking of Bryce 3d? looks the same...

[@justauserru]

Does it mean they'll no longer develop it?

[@thelemetric]

discontinued.

[@itsafish4600]

lets gooo

[@DaellusKnights]

Does this work with Blender3D?

[@Enderblade18]

I haven't gotten to use it yet but I would assume so, all you have to do is export the terrain model and import to Blender.

[@rodovanra6783]

So I can use to to expert assets to blender i see.

[@captainswing4040]

Blender has always been free and ever since version 2.8 it has become very user friendly too so I don't think it will be a very big thing since blender has also gained a lot of popularity too
