Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that SpeedTree 9 is now out, you can update your older SpeedTree models to use the new growth algorithms and this version also includes Redshift import support so it does most of the work for you now. It does NOT use the Redshift sprite shader which is more effecient than using rsMaterial Opacity so I still recommend you manually add that node to your leafs when you import.

That said this is an amazing update and the Redshift support is icing on the cake.
