#3dtools

Yeah, you read that right. That was an announcement that I did not see coming at all. Apparently, E-on Software (now Bentley) is releasing Vue 2023 and 2024 for free, along with Plant Factory. The catch is that beyond security patches, there won't be any new features or releases—basically, they've stopped development on it. Now, it would be nice if they open-sourced Vue's code so that the community could continue development but I don't see that happening anytime soon, if at all.

I'd really like to know the story behind the decision—maybe they realized that by going the route they did with licensing, they practically shot themselves in the foot with hobbyists? Or maybe they didn't care about the hobby market, and rather stupidly thought that they could make up the difference by licensing to studios.

Either way, I'm not sure it matters to me. The last time I tried to use Vue, E-on wanted an additional $200 to activate a license that I had already paid for. I laughed, said "Nah fam, I'm good" and have been learning how to create 3d environments in Blender ever since.

So will I go back? Eh... that remains to be seen. Before the asinine license requirement, the last time I used Vue—the 2015 version—the interface was laggy and the performance left a lot to be desired. This was on a decent system, too. I might download it just to check it out, or just use it (or Plant Factory) to port assets to Blender. Or more likely, I might use Vue to render out sky textures to be used in Blender.

What it boils down to is that for some of us hobbyists who have moved on to better tools, this announcement doesn't change anything. Maybe they shouldn't have alienated the hobbyists as much as they did.

I have just received my batch of 3d Filaments today and i so excited to print. it was such a wonderful day setting up printer with the new filament and loading all my designs onto my software. But once I got everything prepared,  I kinda had a dilemma on which color to use. It took a good 5 minutes to make up my and onceI did, I could figure out what I wanted to print. But as I started to withdraw from printing, my earphones popped out of the my ear and an idea came to my mind. why not print useful tools to organize my room. Which i did and here are some snapshots of the things I printed.

  these two items are earphone holders. the first holder is designed for the apple earphones and the second holders can fit any minimal earbuds. I have stored my Sony Step-Up EX Series MDREX110AP/B earbud headphones. These holders make my bag lighter and easier to store. Plus it keeps me from having tantrum  when I try to untangle them (first world problems).

The next 3 useful items that I will introduce where things that i could place on my desk at work. the First useful  is a miniature vase (its useful!). I need a place to put all my loose change without make a ruckus. Originally, I would placed them in my drawers (like normal human beings) but the rollers on the side of my drawers were old and they would get stuck.

This would cause me apply pressure and the sound of change would blast in the office. Normally, I would call the maintenance team and They would come and fix my desk, but since my workplace was busy with clients and I would have to wait till office hours to have them fix this small issue, I thought to myself, I could just make something that would hold all my change. And tada, a vase was made. Its petty, I know. But it was also creative and I had fun making it for others in my other as well (future endorsements!!! Yay!).

The next 2 models were cellphone docks. The firs t Cellphone dock was my favorite since it looks like a stick man trying to hold my phone while doing a sit-up. It drew attention at work and eventually all of my fellow co-workers wanted to own one as well (this time it costs them a small fee :) ).

The third one is a minimal dock that had enough room for a cable to be added underneath the dock. I had an issue with this one since there was a gap in between the holders. But I guess it came out better than expected.

It was an exciting day for my and I can’t wait till the next batch of model to post.

For now… I will bid you Adieu…
