SpeedTree Compiler crashes

[shogunami]

Hey there!

First and foremost, I searched these forums and I googled the moon and back and I couldn't find a solution to this problem. I'm sorry if I somehow missed a thread about this.

I'm sitting here and was thinking I'd start using UDK again and try to be creative, I read up some on SpeedTree and how it works and thought I'd try implementing some dashing trees onto my newly created UDK map.

I created a tree with a texture and leaves and everything in SpeedTree Modeler and then I saved it. I opened up SpeedTree Compiler and I added the tree I created, and when I press finish the whole program hangs, freezes or whatever you want to call it and window says "SpeedTree Compiler has stopped working" and then nothing else.

I'm running Windows 7 and this is REALLY frustrating, I've seen other people are having the same problem but I've yet to see anyone fix this.

Anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks!

Still no one who's encountered this? It's quite frustrating, I thought I'd give UDK a go again, but since some tools aren't working, it's kinda.. well, unintuitive. I'm not a pro modeller so SpeedTree is really awesome, were it working that is..
