Free Vegetation Software - PlantFactory

[EldoradoRailroad]

Pardon my ignorance...

What exactly needs to be downloaded to get this to work?

On the download page: https://www.bentley.com/software/e-o...are-downloads/

I see:
PlantFactory 2023
PlantFactory 2024
PlantCatalog collections (many gigabytes!)

VUE 2023 ??
VUE 2024 ??
Additional 3D Asset Collections ??

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

The Vue files are a terrain generation system - I don't think it's of any use to us - at least that I can think of.

To just get the flavor - start with PlantFactory 2024. If you click "Open" once installed - there are a few demo models included that you can play with. If you want a vast library of many predefined assets - grass - plants - flowers - bushes - conifers - deciduous - - - you need all the respective libraries. It's probably a 15GB to 20GB download for the full complement.

Regards,
Scott

I was finally able to download it myself. Looking forward to taking it for a spin.
