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.

[@Xx-Anwar-xX]

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

[@justshady]

@@Xx-Anwar-xX 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]

gods, we can hope

[@outofrhythm9670]

I take Daz over poser anytime

[@AhsanRaza29]

Wish come true anytime soon!

[@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

[@bounsir]

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]

Try 30 years :)

[@E.T.S.]

And Terragen

[@SaurabhGayali]

Both Bryce and vue were nurb based primitive and fractal based terrain generators. loved them. Worked with them for years.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

I remember using vue back in the day incredible fast. Now all free ill check the plants set, thanks!!!

[@JM-yn2lw]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@prathamshenoy9840]

brings back some memories of the Far Cry 3 Map creator

[@Thurzin_hz]

That thing was 🔥🔥 I had a lot of fun creating big hills and putting gliders on top

[@keithkool]

If only Bob Ross could see this.

[@MrMOGHammer]

He would paint the KZbin screen on a canvas

[@Kate-Tea]

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

[@Fizziepop]

That was amazing, thank you! Loved the outro too. 😍

[@JohnNelsonTMFOrgulloMiskito]

Yo usé VUE en 2016... Una bestialidad de software para crear selvas.

[@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.

[@nicholaskuebelbeck7184]

Thank you, I enjoy watching your creation process evolving!

[@ArifKazmi-k5m]

Thanks for sharing this software to us 👏

[@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

[@kikijewell2967]

[@MilayaAfroLofi]

*Thank you for this helpful info. You've earned a Sub*

[@rionix88]

thank you for the update

[@ITSEGFILMS]

Man, I loved BRYCE 3D.... I too moved to TrueSpace... But VUE took the world by storm. I was creating VAST terrains with full vegitation well, until the computer couldn't handle it. VUE with complex terrains can kill a PC BUt, I loved the moment I cherrished with it. and now iTS FREE!!!! absolutely incerdible. ( I did pay for my license back in the day ) Free is good.

[@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

[@loszhor]

Thank you for the information.

[@frankenjstein9371]

Love Vue. Found this last week.

[@robertmoran]

It works without question. Amazing. :)

[@mariovinicius8765]

Eu sempre gostei do Vue, isto parece um sonho!

[@OrionLaerithryn]

What is the largest map Vue can make? For instance, can Vue create a terrain map of 50 kilometers?

[@askNK]

Yea, it can.

[@_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?

[@cadmanfox]

100% possible

[@jystewart2500]

This is awesome!!

[@gamedevinspire]

great , whats the final moment sound track after you say bye?

[@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.

[@robertmoran]

Stellar to the max. :)

[@AUselessSapphic]

I love this tool

[@antiRuka]

that takes me back, this is an oldie

[@Azhishu.Nganguchiko]

Is there addon that Vue can work with Blender?

[@dreamforgemediaec]

Is there a plugin of Plant Factory for Unreal Engine 5?.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ElijahWLYT]

This is pretty hype

[@sabongdotnet356]

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

[@creativekaii]

This is all I want to know :)
