SpeedTree has been chosen by the America’s Army project for inclusion in
America’s Army 3, the latest version of the U.S. Army’s hit game series. The America’s Army games provide players a virtual portal into the Army, from exploring the development of Soldiers in individual and collective training to their employment in simulated missions in the Global War
on Terrorism.

"In America’s Army 3, authenticity is very important, especially for outdoor environments," said Michael Barnett, Chief Engineer for the America’s Army program. "With SpeedTree, we can quickly create a variety of trees, shrubs, grass and other foliage that are naturally lit and move with the wind or other external forces like the rotor wash of a low flying Blackhawk."

Barnett added that SpeedTree will be used to create larger, more immersive environments with dense forests for the public game and in non-public America’s Army Government applications used for training, simulation, education, virtual prototyping and outreach.

Launched in July 2002, America’s Army has become one of the world’s most popular computer game franchises. Embraced by pop culture, America’s Army is one of the most recognizable game brands as a result of its unique inside perspective on the U.S. Army and exciting gameplay.
