Hello community! I’m a new guy in unreal, a French student and this year I learn unreal engine.
For my first Thread I would like to know if the student UE4 licence need to pay a Speedtree license.
I create a tree with speedtree Modeler and compile (with collider, texture…)
but I don’t arrive to import a .srt in my UE project, during the importation, I receive a message " import .srt fail ".
My license UE4 is activate, it’s sure.
So in Student version, do I need to pay a Speedtree license ?

thanks a lot for yours answers,
Good day!

SpeedTree doesn’t work with anything before 4.3, what version are you using?

Here’s the documentation on how to import into UE4 4.3 and above. LINK

SpeedTree integration is enabled by default from version 4.3, you can use these free models from SpeedTree website to test import

Thanks a lot for your answers. Actually I work with the 4.6. and I test with default trees (binaries/ Speedtree modeler/content… ) and I fail to import the compile in UE.
For your link SE_JonF, just one thing is strange : in folder GAME, i don’t have Speedtree folder but in my (C:) I have this folder (with content and .srt mesh).
So I will try to test with UE 4.3 may be …

Are you sure you’re importing SRT file and not SPM?
I’ve just tested it with 4.7 and everything is smooth

I’ m sure, so I cannot make mistakes because UE don’t take the .spm.
and I have a lot of tutorial for compile and import mesh on UE and I don’t see errors.
I try tonight and I return to say you.

Its okey, I found my problem. I have Speedtree 5.0 and this version is compatible with UE3 and no 4.
So I couldn’t use Speedtree, I need to pay a license for UE4.
thanks a lot for your help!
