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!
Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format
The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.
Main Features of U3D Files
- Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
- 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
- Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.
