TERRATOOLS Platinum

Rapid and Automated Creation of Correlated Terrains for Simulation

TerraTools, the industry-leading terrain generation software is used to rapidly develop high-fidelity, geo-specific environments for defense simulation, training and experimentation.

Overview

TerraTools®, the military simulation and training industry’s leading virtual terrain generation software, rapidly constructs high-fidelity correlated environments from a variety of input GIS data, imagery, and 3D models for visual, constructive, and serious game simulation. Specializing in rapid and automated terrain construction, the TerraTools project flow graph allows you to compile and publish correlated terrain for use across many third-party runtimes including JCATS, JSAF, MASA SWORD, OTBSAF, OneSAF, OpenFlight, OpenSceneGraph, Unity, VBS3, VBS4, VBS Blue IG, and more.

Key Features

TerraTools provides all of the standard geospatial data processing capabilities necessary to create high fidelity 3D visualizations. Key TerraTools capabilities include:
Correlated Terrain Development

Supporting correlation across a wide range of runtimes, TerraTools is the market leader in correlated terrain output. Develop and export from a single project to multiple correlated terrain exports.

Automated Generation

TerraTools comes with a complete set of tools for the automated generation of content including fully-destructible buildings with complex interiors, large-scale road networks with AI navigation, and complex bodies of water.

Flexible & Reusable

Configure TerraTools projects to process specific geospatial source data. Make incremental updates to an existing project to further enhance and refine the environment, then reuse as templates to fast-track future terrain production.

Extensive File Format Support

Import and export a wide range of elevation data, satellite imagery, and vector data with varying fidelity, scale, and coordinate system information.

Viewing & Editing Tools Included

Use built-in tools to quick-start projects; create, edit, and view geospatial data; edit and view textures and models; monitor progress and preview the environment as you transition from source data to the final terrain output.

Scalability for Large Terrain Production

Automate the generation of very large environments. Batch Mode Manager assists with tile-based terrain generation. Distributed Processing instances lets users scale up production using all resources on a single workstation, on a local network, or in the cloud.

TerraTools Platinum

The new TerraTools Platinum offering includes all TerraTools features previously separated into Core, VBS, Gov, and Max versions. It also includes data preparation tools; DEMTools, Building Designer, and MaterialMap.
