TER 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!


OBJ Alias Wavefront Object File

A text-based file format, open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry data, widely used across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files store mesh data in human-readable text, making them highly compatible but less storage-efficient.

Main Benefits and Features

  • Named Group Objects:

    OBJ files can store multiple objects with different names in a single file, which can be useful for organizing complex 3D scenes.
  • Surface Materials:

    The OBJ file format supports surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, providing more realistic and detailed 3D models.
  • Geometry Primitives:

    OBJ files can store geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, during the OBJ file conversion using our converters, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported.
  • OBJ File Size:

    Due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp). This means that OBJ files may take longer to load or transfer, and may require more storage space.

OBJ File Conversion

Autoconverter is the best OBJ file converter due to its high accuracy, fast processing speed, and wide 3D format support. It ensures lossless conversions while preserving model details, offering a user-friendly interface for seamless file conversion. If you need to handle OBJ files in AutoCAD, you can use our Automesher Application, which allows for seamless import and export of OBJ files directly in your CAD environment.
