PlantFactory ＆ VUE: System Requirements

VUE

VUE is a 64-bit application, designed for 64-bit versions of 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 8 or Windows 10), Mac OS X v10.13+,
• Multi-core CPU (Intel Core I7, I9, AMD Ryzen 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 Hosts:

• Autodesk MAYA 2016-2020 (Win/Mac)
• Autodesk 3ds Max 2015-2021
• Maxon Cinema 4D R16-S22 (Win/Mac)
• Newtek Lightwave 11.6-2019

PlantFactory

PlantFactory is a 64 bits application, designed for 64 bit versions of 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.
