OgreSpeedTree is a commercial library from my company Torus Knot Software Ltd, designed to make it ridiculously easy to get awesome looking trees created with SpeedTree tools running fast in your Ogre applications.

Features:

  • Gets realistic looking forests into your Ogre application with very little code
  • Supports very large Forests with a progressive level of detail & batching system, meaning that close up you'll see incredibly detailed, normal-mapped trees while still being able to support a large draw distance
  • GPU-based wind support
  • Customised shaders supporting typical outdoor lighting models, integrated with Ogre's material system
  • Dynamic shadow casting
  • Written from the ground up to integrate tightly with the Ogre codebase, meaning existing Ogre code & plugins can co-operate with SpeedTree rendering
  • Full source code available
