The engineering prowess that made SpeedTree the industry's premiere real-time foliage choice has been completely retooled, with huge strides in efficiency and ease of use.
SpeedTree SDK Features
- Vast forest rendering. The incredible trees you have meticulously modeled will make it to real-time in huge, dense forests of efficient, animated goodness.
- Improved rendering quality. Support built-in for shadow mapping, translucency, ambient occlusion, per-pixel lighting, alpha-to-coverage and more.
- New level of detail system. New shader-based LOD system yields seamless transitions without popping or fizzling.
- Boundless terrain and grass engines. Need a mountainous vista, a dramatic valley, or a meadow filled with windblown grasses? For the first time, the tools you need are all included.
- Wind. Our gusting, wind-blown trees look more realistic than ever.
It's Your Pipeline
SpeedTree allows any level of middleware integration or Unreal render engine integration with your development environment:
Good 
Static Mesh Export
When using your own LOD, wind, and forest management code, export meshes directly from the Modeler. FBX, OBJ and others supported – an export SDK is also available for writing custom exporters.
Better 
Drop-In Rendering Code
The SpeedTree reference application is offered as a thorough sample integration (with full C++ source). Use the complete SDK, or use just the components you need.

SpeedTree integrations are available (or are being prepared for) a growing list of popular commercial engines. Ask your engine provider.
