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! a _____ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Morten Bartholdy Sent: 10 January 2014 14:46 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com 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!
