Terra Vista

The Terra Vista software tool suite from Presagis is the ideal solution for the development of the most basic to the most sophisticated terrain applications. In addition to providing the highest level of correlation in more formats than any other terrain database product in the industry (VBS2,OTF,etc), Terra Vista also ensures support, through the use of ‘common source’ and ‘common processing’, for all major SAF/CGF formats, including OneSAF, CTDB, and JSAF.

Terra Vista has all of the essential features required for the development of the most basic to the most sophisticated terrain applications. Terra Vista can generate rapid correlated visual, sensor, SAF/CGF, maps, and analytical 3D databases for Mission Rehearsal, operational uses, large simulator contracts, and advanced concepts and demonstrations. With the ability to ingest every format that it produces, Terra Vista provides absolute vertex level correlation when working to correlate legacy databases with new formats and applications. Terra Vista is ideal for users that require building database environments for ground, air, maritime, sensor, urban, and MOUT.

Terra Vista also offers native support for the Presagis TerraPage and OpenFlight® visual formats and DTED, ASCII, Geo-Tiff, ECW, and Shapefile source data formats. The product also supports several, separately sold, optional output compilers including CTDB, JSAF, SEDRIS, JCATS, OTF, and VBS2. In addition to an extensive library of 3D static models and textures, Terra Vista also comes with a 3D viewer that allows you to fly through your built terrain in either TerraPage or OpenFlight format, to easily create screen shots, or record videos. This tool also offers Parametric Modeling and Artificial Intelligence technology that reviews your source data and recommends the optimum configuration of your database parameters for faster and more accurate project setup.

Terra Vista

Current Version

Version 6.2.2 - New Features & Enhancements

This patch release of Terra Vista contains several enhancements as well as support for AI.implant CDB road networks and support for VBS2 1.5.

Version 6.2.1 - New Features & Enhancements

New features inside Terra Vista allow customers to rapidly generate databases with added realism and details. Further enhancements have been implemented when generating output to CDB to optimize processing speed and scalability.

Faster Build Times for Urban and Large Area Terrain Databases

Additional back-end build engines are being provided with Terra Vista ProBuilder and DART so that customers can leverage additional build capabilities to reduce the amount of time required generating databases. These additional back-end build engines allow for multiple terrain blocks to be processed simultaneously and independently, thereby providing users with the ability to efficiently build selected areas of interest within a terrain database or the entire terrain database with a single execution of Terra Vista regardless of size, and without any additional post processing or scripting.

Enhanced Road Features

The features that were previously sold as part of the Enhanced Transportation Module are now included within Terra Vista Base, ProBuilder, and DART. The Enhanced Roads module brings new road and intersection modeling capabilities, along with multi-state building and bridge models, to Terra Vista for the development of detailed urban databases.

Image Blending & Feathering

Users now have the ability to smooth and feather the transition from multiple image files to remove the appearance of hard edges throughout a database. These new feathering and blending capabilities provide for a more realistic and seamless texture across your visual databases.

Wizard Enhancements

The unique integration with Creator Wizards allows for Terra Vista customers to rapidly create various structures, including complex buildings and bridges, for detailed and realistic urban databases. This latest release introduces the Creator Building Interior Wizard, to enable customers to automatically generate buildings with interiors for a wide range of common building types.

Generate Buildings with Interiors

Customers can now generate buildings with interiors using the Creator Building Interior Wizard for visual (OpenFlight/MetaFlight), CTDB (MES), OneSAF (UHRB), and VBS2 (P3D) outputs. Users can rapidly generate building interiors from templates or from custom layouts built with Creator for use in multiple run-time systems.

Automated LOD Generation for Wizards

The Bridge and Building Wizards can now automatically create up to three levels of detail (LOD) for the models they build. Users can build larger databases more efficiently with complex buildings and bridges that preserve visual details, while using significantly fewer polygons in order to ensure better run-time performance.

Latest Output Support & Other Enhancements

Presagis remains committed to maintaining support for new and existing industry formats. Below are updates that have been included in Terra Vista v.6.2, and other enhancements of this release.

AI.implant Output Compiler

Users now have the ability to output NavMesh terrains directly from their Terra Vista license. Navigation Meshes (NavMesh) are three-dimensional representations of the world that Presagis AI.implant uses to control and move characters in a simulation environment. This allows users to rapidly export their databases with realistic pathing and collision behaviors to be used seamlessly within AI.implant.

JCATS 9.0 Import and Export

The JCATS output compiler has been updated to support the import and export of JCATS v.9.0 terrain databases.

Vega Prime v.4.0 3D Viewer

The Vega Prime-based 3D viewer in Terra Vista will allow customers to take advantage of the latest developments and formats supported in Vega Prime v.4.0.

Version 6.1 - New Features

Import and Export VBS2's P3D Model Format

Users can now import Bohemia Interactive's P3D model format for the VBS2 terrain format. This will allow for the use of existing P3D models, to include those with building interiors and articulated parts, to be imported into Terra Vista and output to the VBS2 terrain database.

Create Volumetric Complex Tunnels

The complex tunnel feature will allow for the rapid creation of volumetric underground tunnels and facilities that can have a variety of above-ground and underground components that interconnect at various locations.

CCS Support for MMB

CCS support offers users easier configuration management for MMB setup, as well as lower initial operating system costs. Additionally, it efficiently leverages the power of 64-bit computers in an affordable high-performance computing (HPC) solution.

Enhanced 3D Viewer

Users now have the ability to preview and navigate CDB data in a 3D environment, enabling them to analyze and review their CDB output.

New Tutorial Guides

New tutorials are now provided with the Sample Database to better help leverage Terra Vista tools (Getting Started Guide, VBS2 Tutorial and Creating Virtual Texture Databases for Vega Prime).

OTF 8 Import & Export

Users will now be able create highly detailed and correlated OneSAF Terrain Format (OTF) 8 compliant databases for use with the OneSAF Objective System (OOS) version 4.0 runtime environment.

Core Features

Interviewer Wizard

Automatically calculates the default block size and the number of LODs
Sets top-level project parameters

Elevation and vector editing tools

Provides built-in elevation and vector editing tools to speed up the correction of source data materials.

Rule-based Construction

Project construction becomes user independent
Existing projects can act as templates, thereby allowing less experienced users to produce complex databases
Single neighborhood or entire earth can be built with one project
Individual blocks can be updated independently of the others

Export formats

Supports the highest number of standard export formats in the industry and offers 400+ projections for those formats.

Optional plug-ins

Support for optional plug-ins allows export to JANUS, JCATS, OTF/ OneSAF/ OOS, JSAF, VBS2, and other SAF/CGF systems.

Integrated viewer

For visually updating the position/orientation/scale of 3D models, for placing/scaling/orient new models, for scaling/rotating/replacing textures, and for modifying vectors features and their attributes.

Ease-of-Use

Auto-generate airport runways from DAFIF data, use Complex Sections to create complex 3D roads and rivers, and employ SmartVectors to scatter theme-based models.

Seamless migration

Move your legacy 3D databases to new formats or upgrade them with new information without effecting the correlation of the existing data.
