What TerreSculptor is

TerreSculptor is Windows software for creating and editing terrain data, including heightmaps, weightmaps, splatmaps, masks and digital elevation models. Its Terrain Stack supports non-destructive editing with up to 999 items arranged in 16 groups. The TerreSculptor 4.8 feature list includes 128 file, generator, modifier, erosion and extractor devices, as well as 165 import formats and 174 export formats. Mapper and Topography Explorer can download real-world elevation, contour, street and satellite map data. A command-line interpreter can load project and terrain files, convert more than 65 formats and run through batch files. The listed game-engine integrations include CryEngine 3, Godot, Strike Engine, Unity and Unreal Engine 2 through 5. Without a license key, version 4.8 runs in repeatable ten-minute demo sessions. TerreSculptor 2.0 is described as free for personal, commercial and academic use, but its development has stopped. Version 4.8 is English only and lists a maximum heightmap dimension of 1 million by 1 million. Its requirements include Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11, an AMD or Intel processor, OpenGL 3 support and Microsoft .NET 8.
