I emailed Vue...

Can you tell me if the new Sketchup exporter script works with Vue Pioneer?
They replied:

No, I believe it will only work with the Artist and Professional versions, as it says in the item description.
I didn't find the Artist version on their website 
Anyone have a link? -
Artist Version is actually three different versions. Espirit, Studio and Complete
Complete and Studio versions with exporter
Esprit is the lowest artist version.
-
Thanks Kristoff...looks like Espirit's on sale for $99 right now, so with the SU exporter, $128.95 - not bad
-
so this means you could go from Google Earth to Google Sketchup and then to Vue and rework the terrain? hmmmm.
-
I believe Vue can directly import GE Terrain (if I remember reading/watching a video? correctly).
-
Can anyone tell me what it is capable of exporting? Is it possible to take it to other rendering engines, Thea in my case?
-
scenes can be exported in .3ds format... also lightwave files types can be exported.
-
ok... this is the most kick ass program I have seen in ages... it's like finding SketchUp all over again...
5 minutes in Vue
who needs anything else besides SketchUp and Vue?
it's incredible... it's fast... it's powerful... it's intuitive... it's like someone stole my brain and squished out all the dreams I ever had for rendering my houses and put it all in a program....
best of all it makes me look like a fricking genius.

Hi Guys,
Dave Burdick here - VP of Marketing at e-on Software. I met some of you at Training Camp. I just want to claify a few things and let you know about some special offers we have just put out for the Sketchup crowd:
-
The new Sketchup to Vue Exporter plugin will not work with the low-end, Enthusiast versions of Vue (e.g. Pioneer and Frontier). It requires Vue Esprit or above.
-
We put together a couple of very nice architectural solution package deals which combines Vue Studio or Vue Complete with the new Sketchup to Vue Exporter plugin. The prices are really attractive 50% off the standard price. You can find out more about these solutions here:
This is a short time offer that will probably only last until the middle of next month(sorry for the shameless plug).

How is it with "face-camera components"? Is this plugin able to convert them into "face-camera" entities in VUE?
-
Coulteri.... I don't know that you would ever need or want face me components again with Vue...
it's such a complete ecosystem designer... there's no reason for faceme stuff.
you don't need to have any trees or plants in your model when you export it to Vue.
simply design the land as a mesh... then when you export to Vue you can change that mesh into an entire eco-system of your choosing.

Hi Coulteri. We haven't implemented what you call "Face me" billboards in the exporter but Vue has the ability to do this with what we call "camera billboards". Our thinking was that most SU users would want to convert things like trees and veg to into actual 3D ecosystems in Vue. If you think this is important, we can add this.

I noticed someone on youtube with Vue and their's said 16cpus at the bottom... where my lowly computer says 2cpus... what CPU is he running?

Dave,
I have not had much time to play with this, I did finally install it this weekend and give it a whirl.
I'd like to see Vue open up on export or at least a dialogue asking if we want to open Vue on export, that way the whole python sync can be automated.

Hi Pete,
Good idea on the launching of Vue after export. We are looking at the idea of perhaps allowing a .VOB file to auto-load a Python script (or include an embedded Python script)as well. Thanks

I would find this invaluable as I use a mix of 2D and 3D plants when doing actualized landscape design. There is just not enough 3D available to meet the thousands of plants in my design repertoire.

Hi dburdick, I purchased, but get an endless loop by trying to register.
I have an account but can't get the synchronisation to run because it ends into the Authorisation code, which seems not possible to generate...
and back... One of the messages: # This product has already been activated on another user account.
" Please feel free to contact technical support " if you have any trouble....but how?
No forum available, no mail available to get feedback. Any other suggestions? -
I've seen your work EarthMover... you're the only one here who doesn't need this program... that being said... you're gonna absolutely love it.
if you look at my render above, the only thing in there plant wise that came from SU is that palm tree coming out of the house. and it was 3D...
