OgreSpeedTree brings the power of SpeedTreeRT® to your Ogre applications!

SpeedTreeRT® is the market leader for real-time trees and foliage and has been used in many high-profile products. Now, you can leverage that capability in Ogre incredibly easily using OgreSpeedTree, using an API structure that will be instantly familiar and comfortable to you, as an Ogre user.

SpeedTree v5 Support Is Coming!

IDV will be unveiling the next major version of SpeedTree® at the Game Developers Conference 2009, with some very exciting improvements in modelling and rendering. OgreSpeedTree v2.0 will be bringing these capabilities to your Ogre based applications soon! OgreSpeedTree v2 will be a free upgrade for all OgreSpeedTree customers who purchase OgreSpeedTree on or after 25th March 2009, or who have an active support agreement on this date (including the 90-day support included with purchase). Details of upgrade pricing for customers without support will be announced on release.

This video also demonstrates the use of OgreSpeedGrass, which is provided as part of an annual support contract for OgreSpeedTree. OgreSpeedGrass gives you the benefit of large, rolling fields of grass which sway in the wind and are paged in efficiently around the camera. Distributions of grass can be manually defined down to the grass blade, randomly distributed, or loaded from a file.
