Modeling

Build a SpeedTree model from the ground up. Learn about the different generators, editing modes, and more.

Topic	Description
Editing modes	Learn about Generator and Node editing mode in procedural modeling.
Generators	Learn about the main, decorator, photogrammetry, and legacy generators.
Nodes	Identify when and how to edit nodes, and learn about the types of node edits and how to clear them.
Properties	Understand the differences between generator properties and node properties.
Procedural techniques	Learn about the procedural techniques involved in modeling, including randomization, leaf collision, and clusters.
Freehand techniques	Learn about the freehand techniques in the Modeler, including vertex editing, hand drawing, and Click Place.
Forces	Add and apply forces and learn about force types, attenuation, and alignment.
Projectors	Learn how projectors work and set up your own projector.
Seasons	Display your model at any point during its season transitions.
Collision objects	Learn about collision objects and how to transform them.
Art Director	Use the Art Director in Generator editing mode and Node editing mode.
Meshes and materials	Work with meshes, materials, and textures.
Photogrammetry	Combine scanned models using hand editing and procedural methods to build larger models.
Rules	Use Rule scripts in the Modeler to generate a custom interface with user controls that combine or restrain a targeted set of properties to simplify and speed up your modeling process.
