The SpeedTree Cinema Library is the definitive vegetation asset collection for professional visual effects artists, animators, and film production studios. Available as an annual add-on to SpeedTree Pro (and included for Enterprise customers with cinema pipelines), this ever-expanding library delivers hundreds of meticulously crafted plant and tree species built specifically to meet the rigorous demands of cinematic production. Every asset has been created using a custom in-house scanning rig and proprietary software suite developed in partnership with a North Carolina botanical nursery, capturing leaf and bark surfaces at up to 8K resolution with full PBR map sets - including albedo, normal, roughness, height, and displacement maps. Bark sets include height maps for precise displacement-based trunk geometry, delivering close-up detail that holds up under the scrutiny of high-end offline renderers and the most demanding cinematic shots.
Assets in the Cinema Library are delivered in SpeedTree's native .SPM format, meaning every model retains full procedural editability in SpeedTree 10. You're not locked into a static mesh - adjust branch structure, leaf density, seasonal appearance, wind behavior, and randomization variation freely, then export via .FBX, .OBJ, .ABC (Alembic), or .USD to Maya, Houdini, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and any renderer of your choice. Wind animation exports as baked Alembic point cache data for seamless render farm integration, and UDIM texture support ensures correct tiling in high-end renderers including V-Ray, Arnold, and Renderman. The library spans a wide range of global biomes and species - from grasses and shrubs to towering forest trees - and is expanded with new content throughout each subscription year.
Full compatibility with SpeedTree 10 means Cinema Library assets benefit immediately from the newest tools: Shade Pruning to remove interior geometry and reduce render overhead on complex shots, expanded seasonal transition controls introduced in version 10.1, Mesh Helper rigging for extending library bases with sculpted hero meshes, and the guided cinema export presets for clean, fast DCC integration. Rather than spending days building hero trees from scratch, your artists start from a photoscanned, production-proven base and customize for the shot - freeing creative time for the nuanced work that makes a production truly memorable.
