SpeedTree 4.2: Available Now for Evaluation & License

With SpeedTree 4.2, you can create a tree in SpeedTreeCAD and preview it instantly in a 100,000-tree forest with just two clicks, courtesy of the SpeedTree reference application. Run-time local wind support, new tree varieties, and the ability to export COLLADA and OBJ meshes – with the aesthetic details intact – make this the best SpeedTree version ever!

New Features

  • Forest Preview. Create a tree in SpeedTreeCAD and then view it instantly as part of a forest in the SpeedTree reference application (video to the left). This feature allows artists to quickly get a feel for how their trees will look and perform with other trees, without leaving SpeedTreeCAD.

  • Local Wind. The SpeedTreeRT Reference Application now demonstrates full run-time local wind capabilities. Forests of trees can be affected by multiple local wind sources to simulate explosions and other localized events even more realistically.

  • Ability to Export OBJ and COLLADA Files. For situations where mesh formats are required, SpeedTreeCAD now enables mesh export that captures SpeedTree's normals, binormals, tangents, and wind weights as well as the standard geometric features (vertices, texture coordinates, etc.).

  • Updated Tree Library with 20+ New Species. The huge and varied SpeedTree library grows to 216 species with 4.2, with all models now containing height maps for each bark map, precision tuned light scalars, and updated leaf meshes. Visit our online tree browser to see them.
