TerraSim® Releases TerraTools® 5.9.1
March 2, 2021
Pittsburgh, PA – TerraSim announces the release of TerraTools 5.9.1, the latest version of its industry-leading virtual terrain generation software. TerraTools 5.9.1 is available to all customers under active maintenance and support contracts. Current users can download the software installer and read the release notes on our support site.
Two specific capabilities we'd like to emphasize are the enhanced workflow for building VBS4 terrains (for TT VBS) and the completion of the CDB format support in TerraTools (for all TT bundles).
TerraTools 5.9.1 adds the capability to import terrain edits from VBS4's VBS Geo mode. Available to users with the VBS Blue Source plug-in, this capability gives TerraTools and VBS4 users a brand new workflow that combines the simple 3D terrain editing in VBS Geo and the sophisticated control and large area production offered by TerraTools. The combined workflow will be unique to TerraTools and makes TerraTools the tool of choice for building complex and/or large VBS4 terrains.
TerraSim also continues to expand TerraTools support for other industry formats. The 5.9.1 release adds a new optional Export CDB plug-in, which allows users to produce correlated terrain exports for CDB-compliant simulators. TerraTools already has a CDB importer and so TerraTools is now a fully capable terrain editing tool for the popular CDB format and facilitates easy correlation of CDB with other formats already supported by TerraTools such as VBS3, VBS4, OpenFlight, and OneSAF. Available to users with a TT Core, TT Pro, or TT Max bundle as part of your support and maintenance package. TT VBS bundle users can purchase CDB Export as a custom plug-in.
Eligible users can contact [email protected] for more information on these enhancements.
