Overview

• Target Audience: VFX artists and matte painters working in Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, and Cinema 4D.
• Primary Goal: High-polygon counts, complex wind animations, and seamless export to render engines like V-Ray, Mental Ray, and Arnold.
• Licensing: Unlike the perpetual licenses often associated with earlier versions, SpeedTree Cinema was one of the first iterations to pivot toward a more accessible pricing model for smaller studios, broadening its adoption.

Hero Trees

Because 6.2.3 trees are heavy (often 500k to 2 million polygons), you should not use them for forests. Use them for —the one central oak in the courtyard, the ancient willow by the lake, or the up-foreground vegetation that the camera pushes through. For mid-ground, use modern billboard tools; for the hero, use 6.2.3. Interactive Data Visualization (IDV) SpeedTree Cinema 6
