Hey all,

I'll be frequenting this forum a lot more now that Vue and Plant Factory have both been released to the wild. I had Vue decades ago, but as it got more expensive & needed a much more robust system than I could afford then, we had to part ways.

But now... Wow is an understatement.

A lot will come back as I get re-familiarized. But the speed is such that I can actually do something with it now, & that really opens up everything.

And of course having current hardware is really the key.

I d/'ed & installed all the add'l for both today from https://www.bentley.com (a measly 36.9 Gb,; nice to finally have decent access speeds too), so content certainly isn't an issue.  But I work in Lightwave, and that's still one of their supported formats amazingly.

Consider me a geriatric kid in a candy store, ya know.  ;)

For those that are unfamiliar, Lightwave is sort of the red-headed stepchild / Phoenix of 3D software these days.  But it works for me or rather, I can get it to do what I want in most cases.

Questions to come certainly after reviewing a few tutorials.
