🏆 Best of Term – Texturing & Shading (Fall 2025)
Student Artwork By: Sam Menezes | @sampo_ooooo
Set in a still, intimate workspace, Sam’s scene tells its story through carefully chosen objects rather than characters. This was Sam’s first time using XGen hair & fur systems and #marvelousdesigner. He leaned into experimentation, and developed a confident approach to the final piece.
Congratulations, Sam!

🏆 Best of Term – GRAND PRIZE WINNER (Fall 2025)
Jae Cha | @jaecha3d
Gnomon student Jae Cha used his own photos as references for this piece after traveling to Japan. He set out to capture the feeling of subtle, intricate craftsmanship, and the natural environment. Every texture in the scene (including the foliage) was created in Substance Designer, with custom sculpted reliefs inspired by traditional Inami wood carvings. Congratulations, Jae!

SpeedTree 10.1.0 is here!
Our latest update introduces some all new features and handy bug fixes. Here’s what’s new in 10.1.0:
🧐Smarter View Menu Alerts Get notified when view options are hiding geometry in your scene—no more confusion while navigating the Tree Window.
🎨Vertex Color Painting for Mesh Nodes You can now paint vertex colors directly on Mesh nodes. Plus, the new painting system lets you adjust computed colors or set final colors directly with the brush—seamlessly compatible with older saves.
🧄Seasonal Controls Expanded We’re bringing seasonal dynamics to more node types:
-Decals: Now support season propertiesMesh Generators: Include vertex colors from mesh assets
-Leaves & Batched Leaves: Size changes with season
-Fronds: Control drop time, gravity, curl, and fold
-Mesh Details: Fully seasonal
-Branches: New season gravity property for natural drooping
Update now and happy tree making!
