Atlas - The FlightGear mapping utility
Produce and display charts of the world for users of FlightGear, an open source flight simulator. Includes map creator and atlas viewer. Can also be used stand alone. Under development, GPL. [Win32(cygwin),Linux]
Blueberry3D
A program for designing and creating virtual landscapes utilizing real map data or synthetic data from fractals. Fractals are also used to dynamically extend the data and level of detail. [Win 98/SE/Me/2k]
G-Graphix
Makers of G-Vista, G-Scene, G-Render Library, software components for CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Web-productions to interactively fly over huge contiguous terrains. Target market: high end professional.
Genova
Premier demonstration site for G-Vista Web technology. '3D Flight Over Switzerland' uses 25 meter satellite imagery to build 3D scenes to be streamed and visualized over the internet.
The Aeliom Portal
Aeliom allows real time generation, rendering, illumination, and exploration of 3d virtual landscapes.
nineteen70five
Specializes in the import of GIS data sets and creation of a GIS viewer, which allows the user to "fly" over a 3-D image of their data sets.
MapRender3D
Modeling and visualization software package that creates relief maps in both 2D and 3D using either proprietary global elevation database or public domain DEMs. Features include projections, texture draping, lighting, shading, and elevation color graduation.
HeightField Lab
Generate, manipulate, display, load and save heightfields and then use a raytracer such as POV-Ray to generate the final output image. (free, with code) [Linux]
Height Map Editor
Free program that edits, generates, and manipulates terrain height maps. These can be used in terrain renders, which are used in games, applications, and demos. Web base manual available. [Windows and Linux]
Natural Scene Designer
Raytracing based landscape renderer with object (trees, rocks, lakes) creation, placement and animation capabilities. Interactive planimetric, and 3D modeling viewpoints. Imports USGS and STDS DEMs. [Windows and Mac]
