SpeedTree Import Settings window

Note: These settings are for importing Models created in SpeedTree. For information on Models and animation created in other 3D modeling applications, see the Model Import Settings window.

Unity recognizes and imports SpeedTree Model Assets in the same way that it handles other Assets. If you’re using SpeedTree Modeler 7, make sure to re-save your .spm files using the Unity version of the Modeler. If you’re using SpeedTree Modeler 8, save your .st files directly into the Unity Project folder. The SpeedTree importer generates a Prefab with the LODGroup component configured. You can instantiate the Prefab in a Scene as a common Prefab instance, or select the Prefab as a tree prototype and paint it across the Terrain.

You can either extract MaterialsAn asset that defines how a surface should be rendered. More info
