TER to OBJ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to TER and OBJ interoperability and exchange that could help you with the TER to OBJ conversion.
TER Terragen File
TER (Terragen Terrain File) is a proprietary file format native to Terragen, a natural terrain scenery authoring software. It allows for an easy triangular or quad mesh description with the additional metadata for the terrain recognition industry. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our TER file converters can read and import TER terrain data thanks to the open asset import library. The imported terrain data can be easily converted into your native 3D file format thanks to the elevated 3D file export possibilities of our Autoconverter software.
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, e.g. 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
