TER File - Terragen Terrain Format
A TER file is the native terrain format for Terragen, a high-end landscape rendering and simulation tool. TER files store elevation data, procedural textures, and environmental settings to create realistic digital terrain models (DTMs) for visualization, animation, and VFX workflows.
Key Features of TER Files
- Terrain Data: Encodes high-resolution elevation maps using 16-bit grayscale values for precise topography.
- Multi-Texture Support: Includes diffuse, specular, bump, and displacement layers for natural surface rendering.
- Procedural Nodes: Utilizes a non-destructive node-based system for flexible terrain editing in Terragen.
- Landscape Fidelity: Ideal for creating mountainous landscapes, valleys, rivers, and erosion patterns in realistic detail.
TER File Conversion
Easily convert TER terrain files to 3D formats such as OBJ, STL, DAE, SKP, and STEP using Autoconverter and Automesher Application. These tools use the Open Asset Import Library to ensure reliable terrain data extraction, preserving elevation and surface information across 3D modeling, GIS, and CAD platforms. Export your Terragen landscapes and integrate them into your digital production pipeline today!
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) File
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file format, originally created by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), is a widely used standard for storing and sharing geospatial information. KML files are essential for visualizing geographic data in applications like Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms.
Main Features of KML Files
- XML-Based Format: KML files use an easy-to-edit XML structure to define geographic features such as points, paths, polygons, and 3D models for interactive mapping projects.
- Broad Compatibility: KML files are fully supported across popular GIS and CAD applications, enabling seamless data sharing, visualization, and analysis across multiple platforms.
- Rich Media Support: Embed images, videos, links, and other multimedia elements inside KML placemarks and descriptions to create dynamic and informative maps.
