TER 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!


KMZ Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format

The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.

Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files

  • Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
  • Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
  • Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.

KMZ File Conversion Made Simple

With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.
