DEM Earth
Easily Generate dynamic Digital Elevation Models and georeference them in real-time to your world imagery.
DEM Earth automatically downloads the data it needs to build the model you want. All you have to do is provide a Geographic coordinate.
Produce real-time interactive and dynamic landscapes which you can pan, zoom and animate and place anything on, in any way you want.
Some of the New Release highlights
- Geo Modifier – Map any polygon, spline or point based object onto DEM Earth.
- Track Graph – Make an instant graph out of a gpx track, or any spline.
- Poly Importer – Import country, county, regional borders using the osmosis poly format.
- Smart Extruder – vastly improved. Better caps, better UVW mapping, less polygons.
- Smart OSM – New Interpolation and surface offset settings, deliver what you need.
- DEM Earth Object – improved UVW, to make baking, much easier.
