As Unity and UE4 are being used for more diverse applications we’ve seen an increase in the demand for our hero model trees for arch/viz renderings as well as just highly detailed scenes.  We’ve taken nine of our most popular trees and put together a package of Hero models that include multiple seasons and age ranges.  More than just a static mesh, these trees come with all the features you’ve come to expect from SpeedTrees including Tuned wind, LOD transitions, ambient occlusion, and collision objects. To celebrate their release they are hitting the stores on sale for only $89 for one week (regular $119).

5. European White Birch (Betula pendula)

This common European tree (also called Silver Birch) is characterized by its white bark that is spotted with black diamond-shaped marks.
