Was primarily a college work blog, but now that I have finished for the year, it will show more of my own work.

SpeedTree

I've wanted to upload this for a while now, because its one of most impressive 3D programs I've seen. Speed tree lets your create trees, with varying quality very quickly and ready textured, there are a lot of pre-sets for different variety's of tree and plants. Speed try has its own working physics engines for trees and branches can break off under different tolerances. Speed tree is used in both games and films, a bigger example of this is avatar, in which all the vegetation and plant life was made using speed tree, or at least a lot of it, in gaming "Homefront" used speedtree, as do a lot of other games, but using the software costs thousands. With speed try the branches and trunks can just be drawn in but clicking in 3D space. This video is a good example of what it can do, showing a high detail tree being drawn, and then showing the physics working on it.
