Good find for serious jobs

Whoa! That's great news. Sure beats the $10K price tag! I'm assuming it doesn't come with the compiler?
I've been playing with the UDK version and I love it. It's just so darn fun to model in. I guess I'll start saving my pennies!

I am downloading the demo...of cinema version
Anyone already tested and get nice advice?
I have seen trees size sold in their website and get scared but trees size: 300 000 polys!!!
How may you dare export and use in other apps? -
$900 bucks!!! What!!!
Thats just silly!

Thats just silly!Then you havent seen the Cinema version: $4,995
And the game version: For use in ONE commercial project, NFR simulation projects etc. $12,490 !!!
With that in mind the $900 bucks is a bargain.

I'm going out ion a limb and guess that Speedtree products is the thing that pushes Lumion price so high also.

Are there more tree libraries available for it from anywhere?

How may you dare export and use in other apps?There is a LOD control for each aspect of the tree as well as a slider in the main modeling window to reduce poly count. Speedtree is so successful because their high poly trees can still function in game engines due to the realtime Level of Detail built into their SDK. High poly trees only appear when the camera is within a defined distance and get reduced down to billboards when far away.

Only what is on their website. They don't allow commercial packaging of prebuilt speedtrees. The trees they have are pretty great though. Most of them are in Lumion. I don't think anyone would seriously buy the software to get the premade trees, in the same way you wouldn't buy 3dsMax to get the sample scenes. It's a modeler, and a bad ass one at that! Also, I don't think any of them would work too well in sketchup though.
