COURSE PROJECTS:
We will start the course by going over the Speedtree UI and Navigation and how to customize it for your needs. Then we will digest the software packages to see what the software has to offer for making trees, like proceduralism, forces, hand-drawing, curves, nodes and generators. Then after feeling confident that we have a common ground on the software, we take this knowledge and start using different kinds of trees and foliage and vegetation for either VFX applications and of course Real-time Games (which need more optimization).
IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME:
I have designed this course for Beginner and intermediate 3d modelling students, who want to model beautiful looking production ready Tress, Foliage and Vegetation for both games and VFX; with a tutorial which is the step by step, no fast-forward, no skip and coming from a production artist who can teach you a lot of things.
The course is also for artists who want to speed up their workflow in SpeedTree and improve their skill in making different kinds of foliage for Both Games and VFX.

This course has helped me tremendously! I am studying game design, and the requirement for my current course is that I must make all of the assets myself. So the idea of modeling a tree was overwhelming until I found this course. The instructor is very easy to listen to. The content is nicely organized into easy to find topics. I would like to see an update for the GUI changes in SpeadTree 10, specifically on the mesh cutout screen. Other than that, this course is top notch content with a lot of thoughtful planning. I could not complete my game concept so quickly without it.

God, I learn I what I need. Sometimes was unnecessary repetitive. But overall, I'm satisfied.

Yeah as a 3D artist who uses speedtree it is a great way to come back to basics and learn what I haven't learned before.

Sehr gut und informativ, jedoch sie Stimmlage macht es schwerer die Aufmerksamkeit zu halten.
By Greggory Fisher on 4/10/2023
Really good course. I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend for beginners. The only feedback I have is that it would have been great to create an actual tree for games and cover Normal Adjustments for lighting.

Despite being sometimes difficult to understand the teacher due to his pronunciation of english words I think he does a great job at delivering the information regarding the software.
