Eon vue & Plant factory now completely free!

Hey everyone, I am happy to share the news that Bentley is willing to make VUE and PlantFactory open source.

Back when I was 16 I encountered the rocket in a local comic store. And even then it was more about not beeing able to justify the expnese. A week ago I looked into it again, and I still can't justify the price for an original model.

Totoal length is 50cm

Its mre about fullfilling a youths dream

The idea is that this is a multi purpose work shuttle wich can be modified, through its modularity, for different intentions

Random AI thought

So do we get in the near future, once we get more than 30 seconds of ai footage per clip, studios issuing some kind of "fanart" licensing for AI movies, like we already have forthird party books / comics/audio stories based on a franchise ?

Disclaimer, my post are neither ai fan, nor ai hate related. I DO see the problems...and until these a sorted out I WONT use it for artwork related things. (Except some experiments..wich won't have a copyright notice).
