The power to create what you can imagine

LCS is currently developing a powerful suite of tools for creating and editing heightmap-based terrain systems targetted mainly for the video game sector.
TerreSculptor supports most AAA and indy game engines using industry standard file formats. There is also full support for Epic's Unreal Engine 3 since LCS is an Epic Integrated Partner.

The new TerreSculptor Heightmap Editor Software (HMES) includes both a standalone Windows application plus in the future similar functionality in a library for use directly in game engine editors such as the Unreal Editor.

TerreSculptor HMES supports heightmap creation and editing, plus importing and exporting of a large number of image, heightmap, digital elevation model, and mesh formats.

TerreSculptor HMES standalone version is expected to ship in Q4 2012, and will be available in a free non-commercial Standard Edition and a retail Professional Edition.
