Terra Vista Base
With the largest terrain generation install base consisting of thousands of customers in over 48 countries worldwide, Terra Vista Base is the ideal software solution for meeting the most basic to the most sophisticated terrain requirements.
Accurate and Correlated Terrain Generation Software
Terra Vista Base provides the highest level of correlation in more formats than any other terrain database product in the industry. Rapidly construct terrain databases for Modeling and Simulation applications through rule-based construction methods, an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), template-based automation, parametric modeling techniques, and an expert systems-assisted configuration.
Terra Vista Features
Interviewer Wizard
- Automatically calculates the default block size and the number of LODs
- Sets top-level project parameters
- Integrated into the thumbnail view, the Vector Editor allows imagery and elevation data to be used as reference while vectors are being created or edited.
3-D Editor
- Allows for the addition, editing (position, scale, and orientation), and deletion of 3D models
Icon-based Library
- Simplifies the selection of both 3D models and 3D textures
Rule-based Construction
- The user defines how functions are executed in the database by mapping data attributes to functions
- Project construction becomes user independent
- Existing projects can act as templates, thereby allowing less experienced users to produce complex databases
- Changing source material resolution does not require re-starting the entire project Building with Terra Vista Blocks
- Single neighborhood or entire earth can be built with one project
- Individual blocks can be updated independently of the others
- Blocks require fewer system resources to produce databases
- Blocks provide superior data, system, and power tolerance
Terra Vista 6.0 - New Features
