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.

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

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.

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.

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

Thank you, I enjoy watching your creation process evolving!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Thank you for the information.

that takes me back, this is an oldie

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

It reminded me a little of Bryce 3D

This looks huuuge

can you use the enviroment on blendeR?

@anthonymerle310

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

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!

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.

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