Hi everyone! I’m planning to release my first pack to asset store in the next few days which consists of 6 tree and 5 grass models with LODs and wind.
Here’s a little video I’ve made that shows each model in detail. Also I’m planning to update this pack with more vegetation in the future and if you have suggestions on what to include in the pack next I’d be glad to hear. It would be nice to get some feedback and advices on this. Hope you like it.
Looks great, but as far as I know it is not allowed to sell speed trees on the asset store. You might want to check this.
Yup… Sounds great but as far as I understand you aren’t allowed to sell speedtree stuff you create. If you’ve found otherwise, I’d love to see a link to info saying we can.
Oh, didn’t know that. I’ll look into it and let you know.
Looking great!
Description of SpeedTree Modeller for Unity said:
-If you wish to distribute models you make with this application, a separate agreement with IDV is required. Please contact us at unity@speedtree.com for details.
It would be great if there are SpeedTrees vegetation not only from the developers of this product. Otherwise subscription of SpeedTree Modeller for Unity is really expensive, if you can use the models you created only for your own purpose!
Good Luck!

I was under the impression from when they first spoke about the Unity Modeller that you would be allowed to sell your Speed Trees on the store. It looks like they may have retracted that though, according to the current user agreement. That’s disappointing 
From my experience it is also not allowed to include SpeedTree samples that come with Unity with an asset, only Unity has the right to distribute those and i guess they have a special agreement to that end.
It makes sense that they want to restrict selling of custom trees, as this would lower their sales of the SpeedTree trees in their store. Which is terrible policy since for my game i have not yet managed to find a single tree that is in the style i want and would love to have more variety from other developers. This is one of the main reasons i have created my own tree system for total control and customization and reuse of other store asset that are closer to the fantasy trees i have in mind. This saves me the constant payments to use the editor as well.
The pine trees look amazing :), you could sell the parts (branches, trunk, textures) and i would buy them for my system for sure.

yeah, selling good textures for the modeler would be nice also,
i tried the modeler for 1 month but couldn’t really create anything without suitable textures…
Textures would be great! Finding good ones is very difficult. I would also buy them.

Haven’t been able to check the thread for a while, thanks for your replies. Selling textures is a great idea. I’ve attached a little example of what I can include, is this what you need? Also I can add geo for different LOD levels for branches. I’d love to see your suggestions.

Very nice!
Yeah I think textures would be your best bet with some tuts on how to set everything up in the speedtree modeler…
Very nice textures and the sample geometry idea is also very welcome
With the detailed textures like pines the main difference comes down to how the edges appear, so it would also be great to have a demo or high resolution images showing the actual in game implementation and how edges look in a game environment with the Unity shaders for example.
The sample pic is already a great sample of this, it looks very good. One more pic with a background in the game window will be nice as well (e.g. against the sky).
It would be lovely to have more leaf and bush textures as well. Speedtree has a shortage of bushes and plants but lots of trees.

Hi everyone! I’ve just submitted Vegetation Elements Package and hopefully it’ll be available soon. It contains textures for 8 kinds of trees and 5 kinds of plants. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve included.

Could you show us the mesh without the textures for the branches? Are they simple meshes as used in Speedtree or are they complex?
They look nice.
What you see on screenshots above is textures on a single plane. Meshes look something like this. But I haven’t included meshes for all of the trees because some of the geometry for branches I created procedurally in SpeedTree and I guess tree editor of your choice can do the same. But let me know if you need those meshes.
A mesh version for the pine would be great to have.
What is the pricing on the pack ?
I’ll provide meshes for all of the textures. $10.
Caution! My Friend also wanted to sell for Unreal Market, but he was not allowed by SpeedTree. SpeedTree prohibits the use generated mesh in Modeller. You can spend time in vain.
