What SpeedTree is
SpeedTree is a vegetation toolkit for games and film that combines procedural generators with manual art tools. It creates and customizes vegetation models, while SpeedTree 10 adds procedural edits, shape controls, real-time trimming, a Cutout Editor, and physics-based vines. Games and Cinema libraries provide adaptable assets with seasonal variation, wind animation, and 8K PBR textures. For Unity projects, the Unity Editor integration supports direct export, a one-draw-call workflow, and SpeedTree lightweight wind. SpeedTree also exports to most DCC applications and game engines, with formats including OBJ, FBX, USD, ST, STSDK, CGF, XML, and ABC. Its Runtime SDK supports PC, console, mobile, and VR platforms. Windows, macOS, and Linux are supported, along with rigging and animation.
