free for academic use get started with bentley education faqs find answers am i allowed to use vue plantfactory and plantcatalog for commercial projects yes you may use the products commercially this includes any renderings created with the software or assets exported from the software you may retexture remodel and resell any of the stock content which ships with vue and plantfactory this includes both meshes and textures however please be aware that you may not sell any content derived from plantcatalog models see the next question with plantcatalog now being available for free am i allowed to sell exported assets derived from plantcatalog files in short no despite plantcatalog being freeware all plants are copyrighted by bentley systems you may use the models commercially e g embed them into games share them with clients or embed them into project files and you may create renderings both still or animated using plantcatalog models however you may not resell any models derived from plantcatalog content on marketplaces if you want to sell plant models you may create your own models from scratch in plantfactory while making sure to not use any textures or metanodes from plantcatalog plants which release of vue and plantfactory should i download 2023 or 2024 vue 2023 and plantfactory 2023 are the last official releases published by e on software when it was decided to discontinue development of the products the vue 2024 and plantfactory 2024 releases were in their final stage of completion this is why we re continuing to offer both releases for download if you need a production proven release we suggest downloading the 2023 version of these products if you want to use the new features in these products we recommend installing the 2024 versions which have lots of great new features and functionalities listed below please be aware that the 2024 release of both products are supplied as is meaning as an unfinished beta version while they are quite stable overall you may experience a few bugs and the occasional crash in general we recommend installing both versions of these products side by side into different folders the plant archives from plantcatalog work in both the 2023 and the 2024 versions without issues what s new in vue 2024 and plantfactory 2024 main features in vue 2024 technology preview rendering with cycles inside of vue through the usd hydra bridge feature preview multiple scattering for clouds in the vue raytracer for converted openvdbs from cloud layers and metaclouds conversion of cloud layers and metaclouds into openvdb directly within the application without the need for export and import workflows substantial speedup in openvdb rendering baking and export smartclouds a new library of 22 procedural parametric cloud materials with lots of customization options and built in animation support new export central panel with global and local export overrides new published parameters editor function editor new nodes packed round

packed round samples 2d much improved performance in large graphs substantial speedup in fractal and noise computation new node frames for adding annotations to the graph and improving the visual organization new published parameters editor redesigned color picker redesigned options panel i already own a license of vue and plantfactory do i need to install an update or a full iso you can install the incremental updaters for release 2023 on top of your existing installation the updaters will remove the licensing system from the software so that it will never expire if you previously activated the software using a license key the license key will still be shown in the help menu but it will no longer be needed to access the software vue plantfactory 2024 are only offered as a full installer and not as an updater due to changes to the supplied content structure within vue plantfactory which requires a full install either way we still recommend you fully uninstall your previous installations of vue and plantfactory and install the full perpetual isos from scratch this will ensure you have a clean installation and it will also allow you to properly install the 2023 and 2024 versions side by side in different folders do the perpetual versions require an online activation will they eventually expire when they do not get activated online no the perpetual versions do not need to be activated online and they will never expire you can simply download vue plantfactory and plantcatalog installers and archives install them without being asked for any license key by the installer and you will be good to go i used to use a floating license are these still available how should i proceed floating licenses are no longer available because they require an rlm license server to work since the licensing system has been removed completely from the applications floating licenses have become obsolete if you own a floating license for your organization you may simply install the perpetual versions of vue and plantfactory as local installations on as many machines as you would like this is much easier than setting up and administering a floating license server i own a plantcatalog license do i still need to activate plantcatalog within vue and plantfactory to use it no the licensing system has been removed plantcatalog plants now work automatically within vue and plantfactory and do not require a separate activation key if you activated the license previously the license key can still be viewed in the help menu but it will no longer be needed to access the software also there is no need to redownload the plantcatalog archives instead make sure to install the perpetual versions of vue and plantfactory to disable the licensing system in both the standalone applications and the plugins i did not own a plantcatalog license can i use plantcatalog now for free yes you can download the entire plantcatalog collection for free and use it with vue plantfactory or other applications provided you update your vue and plantfactory installations to the perpetual builds just download and unzip all plant archives to get the full collection each archive contains a self extracting installer that will install the plants into a shared folder between vue and plantfactory the next time you open any of the two programs the plants will appear automatically in the content browser ready to be used in your projects i am a plantcatalog only customer where is plantcatalog exporter and where are the plantfactory plugins plantcatalog exporter is no longer available since it was a lite version of plantfactory simply download plantfactory instead and open customize and export plantcatalog plants from there plantfactory offers all the capabilities of plantcatalog exporter in addition to giving you all the tools to create your own models from scratch or to make changes to the existing plantcatalog models you will find all published parameters and presets on the presets tab in plantfactory when you download plantfactory the installer will also include the plantfactory integration plugins you already have from your previous purchase are the plugins for unreal engine lightwave 3ds max maya and cinema 4d still included yes all of the plugins are included in both vue and plantfactory installers are the live sync mechanisms and connectors to omniverse still available unfortunately the live sync and connectors to omniverse had to be removed to make the software available for free while we regret that we had to remove a feature the high frequency of changes by nvidia to their libraries and omniverse platform would have meant maintaining ongoing development of the connectors and live sync mechanisms after every new update nvidia would issue without further development of the e on products there would be no solution to keep the connection to omniverse up and running what are the system requirements and supported
