Add Realism Without Unneeded Complexity
SpeedTree specializes in creating low to medium polygon count trees. Unlike similar products with trees that can start at 10,000 polygons and go up, the average SpeedTree has around 5,000 polygons. As such, you can create a lot more SpeedTrees in your scene. But don't let the lower polygon counts fool you, SpeedTrees are extremely realistic, and wind is fully supported to give your animations a realistic feel as well.
Save Time
Everything about SpeedTreeMAX is designed to be fast; from creating realistic trees, dense forests - even rendering. You'll save time in the design phase as well as rendering.
SpeedTree is Growing
With SpeedTreeMAX's library of pre-made plants and trees, you're sure to find exactly what you need. SpeedTree libraries are affordable too, with new species of trees costing less than $20 each.
