Speed Tree

Speed Tree

I was able to create this tree in a few minutes.
After creating foliage using paint effects, vue, onyx, xfrog finally this program came to rescue.
Speed tree is my favorite foliage tool so far. It has all the tools that artist could hope for in one package. I can draw, yes you heard that right, in this program. It's also procedural. Unlike Vue, I can add, remove, modify branches. And trees hold up for mid shots.

We used Speed Tree at Arc. I suggested using it on Barbie. I did a few test. The program delivers phenomenally and the tress are easy to light.  Since we were using Vue on Thomas it was decided to use Vue on Barbie instead to create Eco-system and forests.
