I bought an oak from speed tree that I could not find in the Iclone content packs. I cannot find any way to import the tree into iclone though. Bummer

Bummer.

I got an email with a real nice discount coupon for the Content Store.  The link in my email took me to a page featuring Speed Tree content.

I went to buy it, but discovered my discount coupon does not apply to any of the products in my basket.  I guess it doesn't add the discount on top of the sales price.

I was so excited to get the whole collection at a stunningly great price, but now I'll have to reconsider my budget.  You get a lot, but even on sale it's still quite a bit of money, and I'm still bleeding from Christmas shopping for the family.

Well, what do you know, I never noticed that...:blush:

But, other improvements have already been pointed out, by more eloquent and knowledgeable members...:w00t:

I have the old biosphere bundle and treated myself to this new edition.

These new Speedtree iTrees are much nicer. Some of the old one's have rendering issues in iC6, but many are fine. As Animagic said, the wind control is quite good. The old ones just kind of shake, but the new ones sway. The texturing and modeling is superior. There seems to be much more variety of each species as well.

The materials cannot be edited, and that is because of the special format they are in that allows for the high-performance in real-time engines. Other game engines use Speedtree as well.

The intro price is actually pretty good, especially when you throw your best coupon at it.

Thanks.  It's on my list.  :)

Forgive me for being a bit slow, but is everything on this page the "G6 Speedtree"?

Thank you SO much for the side-by-side comparison.

I was curious about that, so I just decided to go ahead and try out the entire pack. You need to have the patience, the download takes a long time firsthand, so that's a big disadvantage.

I'll show you the difference between the two through photos.

Both are katsura, the left is G5 and the right is the new G6.

I tried the LOD thing too side by side. G5 on left and G6 on right.



Hopefully it helps.

"You can now plant trees using a planter (as you could with grass), so it's easier to create a wooded area."

That was a new Feature (Tree Brush) in iC5, Job. See Screenshot. So nothing new there, then.......Just saying ;)

IC5 and before had a simple version of Speed Tree, which is indeed from the same source as Speed Tree. I assume RL just licensed the technology.

The "old" speed tree you could apply wind to but that could not be animated. There were also artifacts if you had a whole bunch of then and were to zoom out.

The new speed tree has a number of improvements (it is still licensed from Speed Tree).

There is a wind tool, such that wind can be made varying between values, which gives a more natural effect. You can also animate those values, as well as the number of gusts.

You can now plant trees using a planter (as you could with grass), so it's easier to create a wooded area.

I thought you could also do something with the textures, but I don't see that.
