Speed Tree Cinema is one of top industry packages to create forest assets. SpeedTree is one of the most acclaimed applications to simulate natural wind, mesh collision, art directed tree creation and other impressive features. Blender can use the procedural generated trees in your scene and here’s a tutorial showing you how you can do it>> If you’ve seen massive natural and accurate vegetation on blockbuster movies or games, chances are those environments were created using Speed Tree.
Their full library of forest assets is available here and you can get a yearly subscription to have access to a myriad of plants and trees with botanical accuracy which makes this a must-have. You can also buy items individually.
I beta tested their addon for Blender 2.8. Here’s a quick walk through on how to import/export assets between them. I hope you like and share this video:
