SpeedTree Export Wind to Maya
Exporting a realistic wind animation tree from SpeedTree to Maya
In this video, I walk through a clean and production-friendly workflow to get believable wind motion from SpeedTree into Maya without breaking your scene or losing deformation quality.
We cover:
• Setting up timeline, frame rate, and wind behavior
• Switching to Visual Effects wind mode (critical step)
• Computing wind correctly for animation playback
• Exporting using FBX
• Importing into Maya and previewing animation properly
This approach ensures stable, film-quality results and avoids common issues with FBX exports.
Perfect for environment artists, lookdev, and VFX workflows working with animated vegetation 🌳
