Installation
The current release of SpeedTree Engine for Clarisse does not include an installer, so a few files must be copied manually.
Please remember to remove the older SpeedTree files if you're installing a new version.
Quick & Dirty
Linux
Copy libspeedtree_clarisse_v8.4.2r5.so to [Clarisse Install Path]/Clarisse/module/.
Copy libspeedtree_engine_v8.4.2r5.so to [Clarisse Install Path]/Clarisse/.
Windows
Copy speedtree_clarisse_v8.4.2r5.dll to [Clarisse Install Path]\Clarisse\module\.
Copy speedtree_engine_v8.4.2r5.dll to [Clarisse Install Path]\Clarisse\.
(Under Windows, the default installation path is “C:\Program Files\Isotropix\Clarisse iFX 3.6 SP6\”, for example)
Clean Approach
Copy the engine shared library file (libspeedtree_engine_v8.4.2r5.so / speedtree_engine_v8.4.2r5.dll) to your desired path and adjust your system's binary execution path to include the library file's path.
On Windows, add this path to the PATH environment variable.
On Linux, add this path to the LD_LOAD_LIBRARY environment variable.
Copy the plugin file (libspeedtree_clarisse_v8.4.2r5.so / speedtree_clarisse_v8.4.2r5.dll) to your desired path and invoke the Clarisse executable with the -module_path option. It takes multiple paths and must include both the Clarisse default module path and your custom path. For example, if your custom path is /home/user/my_clarisse_plugins/:
./clarisse -module_path "/usr/local/bin/Clarisse 5.0 SP6/Clarisse/module" "/home/user/my_clarisse_plugins/"
Windows Only: SpeedTree requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package to be installed. For convenience for manual installation, the necessary files are included in the SpeedTree for Clarisse ZIP file under bin/msft_redistributables/. They should be copied into the same location as the speedtree_engine DLL.
