Summary of MetaVR's Distributed 3D Terrain

Terrain distributed with each VRSG software release

Installed with each new or upgrade Virtual Reality Scene Generator™ (VRSG™) software license are two demonstration terrain databases in MetaVR's terrain formats: Afghanistan's Kabul province, and Baghdad's Green Zone. These databases, which are subsets of larger terrain sets, are delivered with scenarios you can run in VRSG to get a sense of some of VRSG's capabilities.

Khairabad, Kabul province, Afghanistan database
Khairabad, Kabul province, Afghanistan

Baghdad, Iraq database Baghdad, Iraq with Green Zone

Additionally, each new or upgrade VRSG license is delivered on a terrain drive with larger 3D terrain of Afghanistan (the entire country) and Baghdad (the greater Baghdad area), as well as 3D terrain of Vermont and upstate New York.

Afghanistan Metadesic terrain Khairabad, Kabul province, Afghanistan (Metadesic format)

Vermont and upstate NY Metadesic terrain Burlington, Vermont (Metadesic format)

The terrain sets shown above are a subset of the 3D terrain MetaVR has built with its terrain generation tools. A terrain set can be purchased in OpenFlight format with various license schemes, should you require the terrain for an alternative visual system or simply have the ability to edit the terrain for use with MetaVR software.

North America and Asia terrain

MetaVR also offers two large terrain sets on their own hard drives:

LA mountains from MetaVR's North America 3D Terrain. MetaVR's North America terrain (Metadesic format)

Afghanistan from MetaVR's Asia 3D Terrain. MetaVR's Asia terrain (Metadesic format)

The North America and Asia terrain sets are delivered upon request (to qualified customers as described below), at no cost beyond a fee for the hard drive distribution media and a nominal fee for processing large quantities of data.)

If you are already an existing VRSG version 5 user, you can order North America and Asia terrain sets with a point release update of VRSG directly from MetaVR.

All MetaVR 3D terrain described on this page is available, upon request, to MetaVR customers who are on active VRSG software maintenance and are US Government or NATO agencies or contractors (for official use only). All virtual terrain requires the latest release of version 5 of VRSG. The terrain is provided in MetaVR terrain formats and will only run with a valid VRSG software license. All the 3D terrain sets were developed with MetaVR internal funding and are not part of any government program that grants general access to the terrain databases in any other format.
