Users can download the 2015.2 PLEs at no charge from www.e-onsoftware.com/try
The PLEs are for learning purposes only. In particular, it is strictly forbidden to use the PLE for any commercial work. The PLE ships with a limited subset of the total content available in the commercial products. Users cannot exchange files with other users (except ATC Licenses) and renders carry a logo and will be watermarked after 30 days. Geometry exported from The PlantFactory PLE removes 1 polygon out of 5; import into VUE works with both the VUE PLE and full commercial licenses of VUE.
The Personal Learning Editions perform under all versions of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (64 bit only), and are Mac Intel (64 bit) for MacOSX 10.6+.
Users don’t have to pay to learn!
The VUE and PlantFactory 2015.2 Personal Learning Editions allow any Artist or Student to learn the best Digital Nature tool for free. The PLEs output files that can be rendered without limitation using an ATC license. Students can thus work from home using the free PLEs and bring their work back to school for use (and final rendering) using their school’s resources.
PlantFactory Exporter 2015 – Tweak Plants and Export as Standard 3D Meshes
Designed for CG artists using any 3D application (such as 3DS Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Softimage, LightWave, Modo, etc), this very simple version of PlantFactory lets the users purchase exactly the plant species they need, generate variations, adjust age, health and season, and export as static 3D meshes*.
