I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as the new community manager for IDV, Inc. I’ll be handling the twitter feed, making blog posts, and generally making tree related puns in a public setting for better or worse.
The integration of SpeedTree into Unity 5 has already led to a lot of great work coming out of the beta community, and we’re excited to see what else you guys are going to be able to do. Over the next few months we’re going to be highlighting some work from smaller developers and artists because, well, we love what you do and want to see more of it. If you’ve got some SpeedTree work that you want to show off, post it here or over in our showcase which is sorely in need of some fresh content and we might be contacting you to feature your work in some upcoming blog posts or featuring your work on our Facebook page.
Danny, I appreciate your SpeedTree team already. I was really wanting a specific type of plant and you guys made it within like 2 weeks for Unity. I’m loving the plant. And the trees, as always, are excellent.
Yep, I’ve had it my whole life even. I mean, how can I NOT work for SpeedTree? Fun fact, in high school I worked briefly for a carpenter named Marcus Birch. So based on my experiences I can conclusively say that people with tree last names have a high likelihood of working in a foliage related field
Thanks! We’re really excited to be a closer part of the Unity community, if you guys are wanting anything more specific let us know, I can’t make any promises but any ideas are helpful.
Nice ones!
I keep a list of puns as a part of my daily root-tine here at SpeedTree, it probably stems from the fact that I’m an Oakes, and therefore acorn-y person in general.
I smoked pot all the time with Malcolm Roach in the army…Well…I kind of branched off from the main topic to log that and hippoCoder maple the post when he leafs through the replies. I shall lumber along now and go cut more wood for the wood burning stove…and that one is no joke:). I am covered in sawdust as I write this.
I deleted some posts; a UE4 debate is absolutely not appropriate here. Speedtree only. (And tree-related puns, I guess, though I’m wondering if some bans might be in order. )
Just to clarify, once you’ve created your assets in the SpeedTree Modeler and imported them into Unity 5, you don’t have to continue the subscription to use those assets. A lot of our users only use SpeedTree one or two months at a time throughout their projects in Unity 5. It just depends on your needs.
I’m really lichen the puns guys, I added some of them to my list
I was excited when I saw the wheat plant for Speedtree in the asset store! Almost bought and I don’t even have Unity 5 yet! I hope you will continue with that thread and add more crops, vegetables and un-tree items to the Speedtree collection!
Thanks! It’s great to be here! We’re constantly working on stuff to add to the asset store, there’s been a large response to the wheat so I’m sure we’ll see more non-tree items coming out!
Hi
reposting in here in hopes of a solution. My main problem atm is Billboards not shadow casting. The company i work for does visulisation and we are often a few 100 meters above ground and this is where we run into problems, I’m also having trouble with Horizontal Billboards not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hah! I used to go to a dental college for my cleanings / checkups. There were several practicing dentists that volunteered there. I kid you not, there was both a Dr. Toothaker and a Dr. Payne.
I lol’d.
