| You can export to a selection of game editor formats. With game exports, the geometry is batched and optimized for real-time rendering, texture atlases are created to allow fewer draw calls, and billboard impostors are rendered for use with LOD. | You can export to a selection of game editor formats.

| [[toolmaterialsassetsbar|Variations]] may be set up in the material. This option enables the processing of variations on export. Instead of requiring the final game engine to have shader code that does the variation, the exporter will simply make new materials and textures with the variation information baked in. | [[toolmaterialsassetsbar|Variations]] may be set up in the material.

| - | **Note**: Variations should be used sparingly on real-time SpeedTree models to avoid too much extra texture space being used. If atlassed, the variations of a material will take up multiple places in the atlas. If not, additional textures will be made. | + | >**Note**: Variations should be used sparingly on real-time SpeedTree models to avoid too much extra texture space being used.
