hmmm my favourite can of worms!

 

it's not a smooth ride, i end up manually rebuilding all the
material/texture setups, make sure you turn off texture twist/winding, and
do the tiling of bark textures in soft, not speedtree...

 

i've not tried animated trees, but was under the impression that only
alembic would work?

you can export the bones of the tree from speedtree, and rig the tree and do
the wind anim in soft?

 

we've mostly avoided animation, the exception being where i had a pared down
number of leaf 'sheets', emitted leaves in soft (ice instances) and used ICE
to flutter them in a breeze.....

 

good luck!

Subject: Speedtree into Softimage?

 

We have a tree generated in Speedtree with some wind animation. Softimage
vanishes when I try importing the fbx file from Speedtree - does anyone here
know the do's and don'ts of Speedtree/Softimage workflow? 

 

On Softimage 2013SP1 Win7 here. 

 

Thanks!
