I still have those dreaded "_~~.tpf" encrypted files ...

I just caught an H5N1 influenza, or something even worse. My aging brain is literally melting !

Honestly, I find this end of Vue, as a user since version 3, just sad. The subscription scheme seems a major culprit, from my point of view.

Can I just say that after spending months on making sure that ALL questions are answered in the FAQ, I am actually annoyed that people don't take five minutes to read, even when something is given away for free? :(

I downloaded the whole PlantCatalog, I'm having encrypted files (_~~.tpf) with a link going to the main DL page. Did I miss something ?

Regards,

Yves, from France

Does anybody know how to get access to the downloadable trees within plant catalog ?

I'm downloading everything I can before it's too late.

I have a question about TPF catalog : when using TPF, many species are marked as downloadable, but I can't find the right files... Did someone know how to find them ?

Apart to this, I have really mixed feelings. I used Vue since version 3, I updated quite regularly until the subscription only scheme. I paid hefty amounts supporting Vue before Bentley, as a hobbyist I couldn't reasonably afford to pay indefinitely.

Honestly, the render engine really shows its age, so do the interface.

Thanks to Bentley for giving away Vue, even if I suppose quite a few people will be out of job.

I'm too pessimistic to think this somewhat sad end will be a wake-up call for other software providers.

I used Vue since version 4, upgraded until 2016 pro. At one time I had 5 dedicated PC to speed up network rendering.

I've been a long time supporter of "vue d'esprit", mostly because they were French. Vue is really aging and not really worth the "renting" price.

I'm opposed to any "renting" SCAM, which is unfortunately the fact for almost every program nowadays.

I'm trying to learn Gimp, Blender .... My office suite is LibreOffice. I donate regularly, this is much more ethically satisfying.

I'm absolutely opposed to give any money to Bentley ! The owners at Eon made a big stash of cash selling Vue. There's definitely something rotten in the kingdom of CGI, at least for us, hobbyists.

In the old days of internet, we were promised infinite knowledge and an infinite space of freedom. We, the people of the world, were turned as a source of infinite knowledge for a very few companies...

Thank you It going to take me a while ...

I just bought it, is there a way to use this script on my existing library ? Extracting infos from the pdf is quite difficult to me TIA Yves

Content Wizard on the Daz store does a good job of installing and creating Smart Content for assets purchased at Renderosity and other third-party stores. I use it all the time.

I was not aware of this option : how do you proceed ? Thanks Yves

I think that all Daz related products on sale here should be "SMART" content ready at least, and in the form of a DIM file preferably.

Sorry for my typos and my "frenglish"

A bulb lit in my brain when somebody on another forum mentioned Samantha, from "Bewitched" !!!

Modest nighties, large enough to reveal small parts of skin. Semi-bullet bras so tough to be able to make depression marks on any dress over them, so they are glaringly seeable Panties going up to the navel made of indestructible opaque nylon.

Let's make a fan club of aging men asking for 1950 to early 1970 era garments and under garments with some more "modern revealing morphs" !

I do have time to play with those 3d games, I have money to spend before it's not even worth the paper it's printed on (yes I'm French+European+from a family who moved a lot unwantingly, so I'm not really optimistic...

Some time ago I asked Eon about the import from Daz3d. They answered that Daz is not really helpful on this point and that something I can understand from what their commercial model is.

An other point is the fact that the i Ray renderer is really faster than the Eon one. But Daz3d is rapidly choking and crashing with instances of vegetation. I renewed my subscription this year, mainly to see what will happen.

I had this kind of problem when I used a much slower computer as a render cow. I don't know if it's possibly your problem.
