The company owns more than 2,000 3D assets, that are currently being updated and quality controlled. These assets will be made available in batches with every new quarterly release. The R3 release therefore includes a first batch of more than 300 3D assets comprised of atmospheres, materials, vehicles, animals, sample scenes, etc.
About Vue and PlantFactory e-on software has revamped its product line-up, making its digital nature tools, Vue and PlantFactory, available as rental-only product bundles rather than individual purchases.
New features in the software include support for PBR shading, Allegorithmic's Substance material format, and the UDIM UV layout system; plus some interesting changes to the way Vue generates and exports clouds.
The firm has also rolled out a new corporate logo and a new sales website. The changes are the biggest to e-on software's product line-up and online presence since a cyber-attack took its old website offline last year.
E-on software is the leading developer of solutions for the creation, animation, rendering and integration of natural 3D environments (VUE, PlantFactory, CloudFactory Ozone and Carbon Scatter). E-on software products are used worldwide by the film, television, architecture, game, science, educational and entertainment industries.
In 2015, e-on software was acquired by Bentley Systems and now operates as an internal venture subsidiary.

VUE is a 64-bit application, designed for 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Intel Mac OS X 10.10+ platforms. Like all 3D packages, it is highly demanding in terms of computer power. Although the application is totally multi-threaded to ensure the smoothest possible response, you must realize that there is a lot going on when you work in VUE.
Recommended System Specs - Windows 64 bit (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10)
- Multi-core CPU (Intel QuadCore, Core I7, or Mac Pro), AVX compliant,
- 8GB+ of RAM,
- 4GB+ of free Hard Disk space (on the drive hosting the OS),
- We recommend a graphics card containing at least 4 GB of VRAM with a 3D Mark score of 10,000 or better.
Compatible Hots: - Autodesk MAYA 2015-2019
- Autodesk 3ds Max 2015-2020

PlantFactory is a 64 bits application, designed for 64 bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 and Intel Mac OS X 10.10+ platforms. A video board that can run Shader model 4 is required. For better performance, a minimum of 2GB of video RAM is recommended (Video RAM should not be confused with system RAM. Video RAM resides solely on your video board).
Performance of the software is directly related to the power of the system running it. PlantFactory is optimized to make the best of all the processors/cores on your system. The power of your video board directly impacts the frame-rate of the plant preview.
Recommended System Specs- Windows 64 bit (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10)
- We recommend a graphics card containing at least 4 GB of VRAM with a 3D Mark score of 10,000 or better
- Multi-core CPU (Intel QuadCore, Core I7, or Mac Pro), AVX compliant
- 8+GB of free RAM
- 4GB of free Hard Disk space.
