Virtual Terrain Project

  • "The goal of VTP is to foster the creation of tools for easily constructing any part of the real world in interactive, 3D digital form."
  • Merges GIS with OpenGL for a 3D modelling environment
  • Models not just terrain, but vegetation and man-made features
  • Really impressive -- if you have accelerated OpenGL
  • MIT licensed, but you have to email Ben to ask for the source!
  • Check it out at http://vterrain.org
