TER to GLTF Conversion
With our tools, changing TER to GLTF is a breeze - follow these simple 3 steps:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert TER files to GLTF format.
Import TER File
Click Open... to load your TER (.ter) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to GLTF Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the GLTF file format (.gltf, .glb).

Terragen Terrain File
The proprietary format native to Terragen, specialized for storing high-fidelity natural terrain data. Designed specifically for landscape generation, TER files preserve elevation maps, texture layers, and environmental parameters to create realistic mountains, valleys, rivers, and ecosystems.
Key Features of TER
- File Purpose: Stores procedural and rendered terrain data for Terragen software.
- Data Type: Contains elevation maps with 16-bit precision for realistic topography.
- Texture Support: Embeds multiple texture layers for diffuse, specular, and displacement effects.
- Node Structure: Uses parametric nodes for non-destructive terrain editing.
TER File Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application can read and import TER terrain data using the Open Asset Import Library. This enables smooth and reliable conversion of terrain models from TER files into a wide range of 3D formats, including STL, OBJ, SKP, DAE, STEP, and others. Transform your Terragen landscapes into versatile 3D assets with our TER converters today!
GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
