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!
What is an OBJ File? (Alias Wavefront Object Explained)
The OBJ file format is a widely used open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry, originally developed by Wavefront Technologies. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files use a human-readable text format, making them highly compatible across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software.
Key Features and Benefits of OBJ Files
- Multiple Named Objects: OBJ files can contain multiple 3D objects within a single file, each organized with individual names, ideal for complex 3D scenes and asset management.
- Surface Materials and Textures: OBJ files support detailed surface definitions, including transparent materials and texture mapping, enabling realistic 3D model rendering.
- Quad and Triangle Support: Geometry in OBJ files can include both quads and triangles. During OBJ file conversion, quads are automatically divided into triangles to ensure compatibility with applications that only support triangular meshes.
- File Size Considerations: As a text-based format, OBJ files tend to be larger than binary formats like SKP or 3DS, which can impact loading speeds and storage requirements for complex models.
