Digimation® Ships SpeedTree 2.0

 

New Version Supports Palm Trees, Smaller Polygon Counts and Better Foresting

New Orleans, LA – August 13, 2003 – Digimation announced today that it has begun shipping SpeedTree 2.0 for 3ds max 4.x/5.x (a version will be available for 3ds max 6 when it ships), and SpeedTree VIZ 2.0 for Autodesk VIZ 4. SpeedTree 2 is the latest update to the successful SpeedTree plug-in launched last year. SpeedTree 2.0 includes support for palm trees, trees with even smaller polygon counts, and a completely re-written foresting tool.

“If you need to create a lot of highly realistic looking trees, SpeedTree 2 is very hard to beat.”, said Todd Peterson, Director of the Software Division at Digimation. “With the new foresting tool, you can create as many trees as you like and with the addition of palm tree type support, you can now create almost any kind of tree you can imagine.”

SpeedTree 2.0 comes with a standalone tree editing package called SpeedTree CAD Lite. It also comes with a set of plugins for 3ds max 4.x/5.x to import and work with SpeedTree trees inside of 3ds max. SpeedTree 2.0 ships with a library of approximately 36 different tree species, each in 2 or 3 different resolutions and polygon counts to get you started. In addition, SpeedTree 2.0 fully supports network licensing and license transfers for ultimate flexibility in your licensing needs.
