Enter our prize draw and you could get your hands on the tree technology used in Avatar: five copies must be won!

To celebrate the release of the latest edition of SpeedTree, 3D World has teamed up with developer IDV to give away five copies of the new Studio edition of its software – worth $895 each! Now available as a 64-bit app for Windows, Mac and Linux, SpeedTree Studio features the same technology employed by ILM for Avatar, and is in use at VFX, TV and arch viz studios around the world.

Creating trees and plants has never been easier or more fun. Existing tree objects can be edited to suit your needs; trees can be built from base templates; or you can draw a specific tree shape and then edit the underlying splines for precise control over shape and form. Alternatively, you can simply buy entire new tree species from the huge collection on the SpeedTree store.

You can choose a tiled UV texture from any of those in your SpeedTree library, or make your own. It’s a case of importing the texture maps, then dragging and dropping onto the mesh. For a final touch of realism, you can simulate the wind blowing through your tree (displayed in real time in the OpenGL window), and then export the data for use in any 3D app that supports the FBX geocache format.

SpeedTree Studio is one of the fastest and easiest tree generators you can get – and you can get it for free by entering our prize draw! To do so, just follow the instructions below.
