  @cellulo! Happy to see you are still around these forums.
  Thank you so much for you Forgotten Carrara tutorials.
  I updated some non-working links here since it would be sad if they got lost:

  Thanks Therix, hope it's useful for all people, these files will be always available on my website as long it can stay online like my trueSpace files page and all others programs files.

  Not sure what to think, website is here:

  https://www.bentley.com/software/e-on-software-free-downloads/

  "we are offering free downloads and usage of VUE, PlantFactory, and PlantCatalog as perpetual versions to anyone interested in continuing to utilize these products and technologies! Simply download the product and acknowledge the new end-user-license-agreement (EULA) agreeing to using the software without support."  The word "maintenance" is not on that page.

  I am still using my 2023 version which seems to be working fine.  Here is a short trailer with shots @ 5 and 13 seconds that I could not do any other way than VUE:

  

  That looks stunning. Just curious, I downloaded Vue 2024 and the Plantfactory today; the plant catalogues go from 2019 to 2023, will they work on the 2024 edition? Also the additional 3D assets are labeled 2019-2021, is it worth downloading or will I be wasting bandwidth (I'm on the neighbour's network and yes, he is aware of it).

  I'm currently downloading 17.1 and wanted to download the user manual PDF. It's 4600+ pages...

  Refferring to the Vue, plantfactory and all downloads from Bentley:
  I am not sure, but I guess everything works and it's worth.
  Be aware that if you download everything it's about 46 GB, though.

  There is some good stuff in there for Vue. I downloaded it all and transferred it to my big multi terrabyte drive.

  The very final version of Modo was just released today.  Modo version 17.1.  No other release will follow..
  https://thefoundry.s3.amazonaws.com/products/modo/17.1v1/Modo17.1v1.251515-Release.msi
  Get it before the link vanishes (use the same license download from first post).

  Promo video, does look amazing to be fair..
  

  Is there only a Windows release of 17.1? No Mac or Linux? I ask, because I've been dual booting Windows 10 and Linux for a while, but as of 14 October I will likely be Linux only.

  [EDIT: To get the Mac and Linux downloads also, here is the page link:

  Thanks.  I don't know for sure, but my experience over the years with successive verions of VUE is that the content they provided works with subsequent versions.

  their  F.A.Q. says  -

     Installation :

         The plant archives from PlantCatalog work in both the 2023 and the 2024 versions without issues.

  Thank you for the Modo links. Looks interesting! We're not better off when a tool like this or Vue goes away.

  True.  I recall buying Lightwave long ago because they offered a package deal including VUE.  I never got any good at Lightwave, preferring Carrara (I am not a modeler, just an animator), but I still love VUE.

  I loved Lightwave back in the day. Now, I'm curious to see. But Carrara does so much and Blender has come so far; and both so much more affordable.
