DEM files 2005-04-22 - By Marjorie Graterol
Back
Hi
I usually bring them as they are to Bryce's terrain editor (It reads DEM files)
, then save as bmp and import them into Carrara map editor.
However, I believe that Ground-control plugin -DCG- helps a lot, at least that
's what I've seen at the website, so ground control in on my list.
There is a simple but powerful converter called Wilbur. It can convert to *.ter
(Terragen) and even as a terrain tga, useful for other programs like POVRay.
Wilbur is freeware

Ground control is at Digital Carvers Guild.
**Wilbur is for PC
Other than that, if you go ahead and copy the bmp (or tiff, or tga it doesn't
matter) from Bryce, be sure to raise resolution *and* size.
Hope this helps
Regards

How do I use the DEM files from the USGS? What file format are they
since they don't have an extension? I can't seem to get them to work
with anything including TerraGen. I'm hoping someone can shed some
light on this for me.
TIA
