speedtree构成

SpeedTree5.2版由SpeedTree Modeler、SpeedTree Compiler和SpeedTree SDK三部分构成。Modeler，顾名思义主要负责树木的建模，Compiler主要是将材质和贴图打包为程序所用，SDK则主要结合程序绘制SpeedTree建模的树木或者森林。

2011年speedtree更新到6，并根据所面对的不同用户群体将软件分为了三个版本，其中包括面向游戏产业的speedtree for games、面向电影业的SpeedTree Modeler Cinema和面向建筑工程行业的speedtree architectural。

On February 7, 2015, at aceremony in Beverly Hills, California,a Scientific and Technical Academy Award®was presented to the three principal developers of SpeedTree®: IDV co-founders Michael Sechrest and Chris King, and Senior Software Architect Greg Croft. In selecting SpeedTree for this honor, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wrote:

"This software substantially improves an artist's ability to create specifically designed trees and vegetation by combining a procedural building process with the flexibility of intuitive, direct manipulation of every detail."

SpeedTree use has been confirmed in dozens of major films since the software was featured prominently in 2009'sAvatar, which received nine Oscar®nominations and three Oscars. Several other Oscar-winning and -nominated films have featured SpeedTree, includingThe Great GatsbyandThe Wolf of Wall Street, as well as blockbusters likeThe Avengers,X-Men: Days of Future Past,Iron Man 3, andMaleficent.
