VisTechnologies has developed a new high performance visualization technique for 3D terrains. Terrain is being visualized based on a height map containing height/elevation data. Our solution uses an advanced level of detail system and with a power of modern graphics processors it can visualize large terrains in real-time at a high framerate.
Video and pictures below are showing a terrain visualized with our technique. This terrain was made from a height map in resolution 8192×8192 (67 108 864 points) and is covering an area of 64 square kilometres with a resolution of 1 meter per point.
