SpeedTree to Blender: Realistic Foliage Workflow
Learn to create realistic, season-ready vegetation.
From SpeedTree to Blender, in one complete workflow.
Course Summary
In SpeedTree to Blender: Realistic Foliage Workflow, you’ll learn to build realistic vegetation scenes from start to finish, starting in SpeedTree, then exporting and animating in Blender.
At the heart of the course is a custom, reusable shader node that works on any blade of grass or leaf texture, letting you shift colors across seasons with virtually unlimited palettes: one tool for all your foliage assets.
You’ll progress step by step from grass and flowers to bushes, realistic trees, and fantasy trees, walking away with a complete workflow and tools you can reuse in every future scene.
Course Outline
MODULE 1 – INTRODUCTION
An introduction to a course teaching how to model custom vegetation in Speed Tree and texture it with AI generated maps for use in Blender.
MODULE 2 – COURSE OVERVIEW
An overview of the required software (Speed Tree, Blender, Photoshop, Midjourney) and the step-by-step workflow used throughout the course to model and texture each plant asset.
MODULE 3 – QUICK TOUR OF SPEEDTREE
A walkthrough of Speed Tree’s node-based interface, viewport navigation, and the key trunk and branch properties used to build tree shapes throughout the course.
MODULE 4 – GRASS CREATION + SEASONAL SHADER
Modeling our first asset, grass, in Speed Tree, exporting it as an FBX into Blender, and building a customizable seasonal shader that we’ll reuse as the base for every other asset in the course.
Plus I’ll show you how to animate your grass.
MODULE 5 – FLOWER CREATION
Time to create our flower asset inside SpeedTree, import in inside Blender, apply the shader and animate it!
MODULE 6 – BUSH CREATION
Time to create our bush asset inside SpeedTree, import in inside Blender, apply the shader and animate it!
MODULE 7 – TREE CREATION
Time to create our tree asset inside SpeedTree, import in inside Blender, apply the shader and animate it!
MODULE 8 – FANTASY TREE CREATION
Time to create our fantasy tree asset inside SpeedTree, import in inside Blender, apply the shader and animate it!
Student Testimonals
RAFAEL S.
This was exactly what I needed to level up my work. His courses goes beyond static environments and shows how to add movement in a natural, believable way. It gave me confidence to create full scenes instead of isolated assets.
Emily C.
I loved how practical and well-structured his courses are. Watching the full process of creating and animating a nature scene helped me understand not just the how, but the why behind each decision. My scenes feel more alive and professional now.
Daniel B.
This course completely changed the way I approach environment creation in Blender. Florenaux explains every step with so much clarity, from building the scene to animating subtle details that bring everything to life. It finally made complex workflows feel achievable.
