SpeedTree 6.2.3 includes a "Wind Wizard" that creates vertex color channels (Red, Green, Blue) for direction and magnitude. When you export to FBX, these vertex colors are preserved. In Unreal Engine 5 or Unity, you can plug these into a "Simple Grass Wind" node to get realistic, legacy-style motion without the computational overhead of the new Pivot Painter 2.0.
