This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''SpeedTree''' is a group of vegetation programming and modeling software products developed and sold by Interactive Data Visualization, Inc. (IDV) that generates virtual [[foliage]] for animations, architecture and in [[Real-time computing|real time]] for [[video games]] and demanding real time simulations.

SpeedTree has been licensed to developers of a range of video games for [[Microsoft Windows]], and the [[Xbox]] and [[PlayStation]] console series since 2002.

SpeedTree Cinema has been used in more than 40 major films since its release in 2009,<ref>[http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/Jh1N22EQWOzbwbjcU8jORI/Hollywoods-movie-tech-wizards-honoured-by-Oscars-organizers.html Hollywood’s movie tech wizards honoured by Oscars organizers], LiveMint</ref><ref>[http://www.cgw.com/Press-Center/Web-Exclusives/2014/SpeedTree-Brings-Photoreal-Vegetation-to-The-Wol.aspx SpeedTree Brings Photoreal Vegetation to The Wolf of Wall Street], ComputerGraphicsWorld</ref> including ''[[Iron Man 3]]'', ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'', ''[[Life of Pi (film)|Life of Pi]]'' and ''[[Birdman (film)|Birdman]]'', and was used to generate the lush vegetation of [[Fictional universe of Avatar#Astronomy and geology|Pandora]], in ''[[Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''.<ref>[http://www.speedtree.com/avatar/ Avatar Profile], SpeedTree website</ref><ref>[http://www.physicscentral.com/buzz/blog/index.cfm?postid=4512988575527688739 The Science Behind Oscar's Award-Winning Trees And Tresses], PhysicsCentral</ref>

==History==
SpeedTree was conceptualized at IDV in circa 2000, and originated due to the firm's lack of satisfaction with 3rd-party tree-generation software on the market.<ref name="gama">((cite web|url=http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20040917/meredith_01.shtml|title=Middleware Postmortem: IDV Inc's SpeedTreeRT| work= Gamasutra.com|date=17 May 2005|access-date=2009-11-30))</ref>

The initial version of SpeedTreeCAD (''CAD'' standing for "[[computer-aided design]]") was developed by IDV for a real-time golf simulation.  Although backers pulled out of the golf project, IDV refined the CAD software as a [[3D Studio Max]] [[plug-in (computing)|plug-in]] for an animated architectural rendering, dubbing it SpeedTreeMAX.<ref name="gama"/>

SpeedTreeMAX was released in February 2002, and toward the end of 2002, IDV released SpeedTreeRT, a real-time foliage/tree middleware SDK, which allowed automatic levels of foliage detail, real-time wind effects, and multiple lighting options.<ref name="gama"/> IDV eventually released plug-ins for [[Maya (software)|Maya]] as well, appropriately named SpeedTreeMAYA. In early 2009, IDV discontinued the SpeedTreeMAX and SpeedTreeMAYA plugins, replacing them with SpeedTree Modeler and Compiler products.

IDV released SpeedTree 5 in July 2009, a version representing a "complete re-engineering" of the software and the first versions of SpeedTree enabling hand modeling and editing of vegetation models: SpeedTree Modeler (replacing SpeedTreeCAD), SpeedTreeSDK (replacing SpeedTreeRT) and SpeedTree Compiler, which prepares SpeedTree files for [[real-time rendering]].

SpeedTree Cinema was first released by IDV in 2009, based on version 5 technology. SpeedTree for Games (version 6) was released on November 7, 2011, and was essentially a re-branded version of SpeedTree 6 (Modeler + Compiler). The product was identified as SpeedTree for Games to distinguish it from other products not meant for gaming/real-time use.

SpeedTree Architect was released on October 15, 2012, and is designed for architectural 3D CAD use and 3D fly-throughs. IDV released updated versions of SpeedTree Cinema, SpeedTree Studio and SpeedTree Architect in November 2013. IDV released SpeedTree v7 for [[Unreal Engine|Unreal Engine 4]] in July 2014. IDV released SpeedTree v7 for [[Unity (game engine)|Unity 5]] on the new engine version's launch date, in March 2015. IDV released SpeedTree for Games v7 on April 16, 2015.

IDV and three of its engineers received a [[Academy Scientific and Technical Award|Scientific and Technical Academy Award]] in 2015,<ref name= "oscars.org">((Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/news/21-scientific-and-technical-achievements-be-honored-academy-awardsr|title = 21 Scientific and Technical Achievements to be Honored with Academy Awards®|date = 13 January 2015))</ref> for their SpeedTree Cinema product suite.

IDV was acquired by [[Unity Technologies]] in July 2021.<ref>((cite news |last1=McAloon |first1=Alissa |title=Unity acquires SpeedTree creator Interactive Data Visualization |url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/385601/Unity_acquires_SpeedTree_creator_Interactive_Data_Visualization.php |access-date=19 August 2021 |work=www.gamasutra.com |language=en))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=SpeedTree® creator Interactive Data Visualization, Inc.

SpeedTree 9 was released on January 10, 2022. This version added new features such as freehand editing for branch bending. New branch features, zig-zag, jink, texture map skew correction can be found on the branch generator. Mesh Converter to help turn 3d trunk and branch scans into full tree models.
