Terra Vista

The Terra Vista software tool suite from Presagis is the ideal solution for the development of realistic and immersive simulations. To achieve great content, content creation tools must remain intuitive and easy to use, must work to optimize productivity, and must integrate seamlessly into a project's workflow.

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 6.1 - 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.
