TER to XYZ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to TER and XYZ interoperability and exchange that could help you with the TER to XYZ conversion.
- Nurbs surface reconstruction from triangle mesh or point cloud data
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
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.
XYZ Point Cloud File
XYZ (Point cloud data) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with the point cloud data. Each row of XYZ file contains 3D point coordinates separated by a special character, usually a TAB and optionally 3D normal vector coordinates for that point. The normal vectors for the points are optional as it is possible to generate them on the fly based on the point cloud structure. Autoconverter is our XYZ file converter which allows you to automatically reconstruct the mesh surface from the point cloud data. Autoshaper is another XYZ file converter which allows you to reconstruct a smooth NURBS surface from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. The alternative file extension for point cloud data can be either ASC or TXT.
