====== Introduction to SpeedTree for Unity ======

Welcome to SpeedTree for Unity.  The pages in this section detail how to use the SpeedTree tools and models to their maximum effect in your Unity application.



===== How Does It Work? =====
Using SpeedTree with Unity is a three step process:

  * **Create a SpeedTree model**.  You'll need a model to get started.  Models consist of the SpeedTree files (.spm, .srt) and the textures and component meshes (.obj, .fbx) associated with it.  Click [[gettingstarted|here]] to learn more about creating models in SpeedTree.

  * **Import the model into Unity**.  SpeedTree models are imported into Unity like any other asset.  They come in as a static mesh with extra vertex attributes to implement wind and smooth LOD.  You can do anything with them that you can do with a static mesh inside of Unity. Click [[importing_models_into_Unity|here]] to learn more about import SpeedTree models into Unity.

  * **Place models in your scene**.  Once imported, SpeedTree models can be placed or painted like any other static mesh.  Click [[working_with_models_in_Unity|here]] to learn more about placing SpeedTree models in Unity.
