whatUseek Directory Site Listings:

Mobile Maps, 3-D - Mobile Maps are interactive 3D internet maps. The idea is geographic web browsing rather than text web browsing. Integrated with a search engine. Requires a 500k plugin. Very poor resolution but great idea.

Natural Scene Designer - Affordable raytracing based landscape renderer with object (trees, rocks, lakes etc.) creation, placement and animation capabilities. Interactive planimetric and 3D modelling viewports. Imports USGS and STDS DEMs. ($90us) [Win,Mac]

Natural Worlds - OS-independant Terrain Manager libraries for realtime scenery rendering. The libraries link at runtime a database which can be built with World Construction Set or Bryce or other conforming application. ($unknown) [Linux, Windows]

OBVIO - A free win32 3D viewer which demonstrates Dynamic Level of Detail (DLOD), based on OpenGL & GLUT, only reads USGS DEMs. Appears to be in active development.

OpenGL Terrain Engine - An experimental OpenGL interactive terrain viewer with surface textures, clouds and reflective water capabilities. (free, with code) [Win32]

OpenSkies Training System - An authoring tool for virtual environment training system. A low cost PC-based system which incorporates trainee performance measurement capability. (free, no code)[Win9x/NT/2k]

Skyline Software System - A complete, modular software collection to serve photo-based 3D interactive environments over the internet or intranets. (free, no code) [Win9x/NT/2k]

SpatialAce - Toolkit for building interactive real-time applications with 2D or 3D presentations, from simulators and command & control (C3I) to surveillance and traditional GIS systems.[Win9x/NT/2k]

TechNature Library - A collection of rendering, mathematics, and texturing functions that use fractals to "grow" everything from plants to planets with seamless procedural textures. (shareware, with source code) [Requires DirectX 6.0+]

TerraVision by ART+COM - These guys have big ideas: "A complete virtual 1:1 map of the earth." and "In a nutshell, ... the ultimate information system enabling seamless travel through space and time." Available in German and English. [Requires Flash]

TerraVista - Produce 3D terrain databases in OpenFlight or TerraPage format. Databases are ready for immediate use on PCs, graphics workstations, or dedicated image generators. [Win9x/NT]

Terragen - Terragen is a landscape generator with controllable parameters that allow extremely varied terrain shapes and photorealistic rendering. Resources for, plugins, converter programs and links to gallery sites. [Win 95/98/2000/NT]

TerrainPro by MultiGen-Paradigm - Produce large area terrain databases with real-world data and 3D culture (eg. roads) and imagery, skin generation, and texture mapping. Target market: Professional [Win98/NT,SGI]

The Planets Suite - Real-time solar system and planet surface modelling project. The goal is to allow the user to fly a spaceship towards a planet, enter its atmosphere and navigate across a realistic surface with geographical features. (free, no code) [Requires DirectX v3]

The Virtual Terrain Project - The goal of VTP is to easily construct any part of the real world in interactive, 3D digital form. The website also hosts an annotated list of software and research papers in the fields of 3D graphics, CAD, GIS, visual simulation, surveying and remote sensing. (free, with code) [Win9x/NT/2k, unix]

UrbanModeller - Software for visualisation of non-tangible data related to the urban environment. It may be used to construct 3D thematic 'maps' such as land use. A component of the Virtual Field Course from the U. of Leicester. [Win9x/NT/2k]

VIS-SIM.ORG - [ Software : Terrain Generation ] - Terrain generation links at the vis-sim.org Visual Simulation portal.

Virtual Terrain Project - The goal of VTP is to easily construct any part of the real world in interactive, 3D digital form and it's software is open source. The website hosts a very well annotated list of software and research papers in the fields of 3D graphics, CAD, GIS, visual simulation, surveying and remote sensing.

Vista LSS for Windows - 3D views and realtime virtual tours with textured and heighted features (trees, fences, etc). Built on Terrain LSS, which provides 'Field-to-Finish' DTM system for surveyors and engineers. (750ukp/year), [Windows]

Vistapro 4.0 - Create your own 3D landscapes using real-world data from the United States Geological Survey and extra-terrestrial data from NASA. [Win95/NT, Mac]
