A heightmap created with Terragen The same heightmap converted to a 3D mesh and rendered with Anim8or. In computer graphics, a heightmap or heightfield is a raster image used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in secondary elevation modeling. Each pixel stores values, such as surface elevation data, for display in 3D computer graphics.
Today, CAD software related companies such as Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and Netfabb are part of the 3MF Consortium. Other firms in the 3MF Consortium are Microsoft (for operating system and 3D modeling support), SLM and HP , whilst Shapeways are also included to give insight from a 3D printing background. [ 7 ]

Displacement mapping is an alternative computer graphics technique in contrast to bump, normal, and parallax mapping, using a texture or height map to cause an effect where the actual geometric position of points over the textured surface are displaced, often along the local surface normal, according to the value the texture function evaluates to at each point on the surface.

Additive manufacturing file format (AMF) is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing.The official ISO/ASTM 52915:2016 [1] [2] standard is an XML-based format designed to allow any computer-aided design software to describe the shape and composition of any 3D object to be fabricated on any 3D printer via a computer-aided manufacturing ...
STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Chuck Hull , the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography , [ 6 ] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard ...
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical coordinate-based representation of a surface of an object (inanimate or living) in three dimensions via specialized software by manipulating edges, vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D space.
There are three filename extension naming conventions used for world files, with variable support across software. One simple convention with widespread support is to append the letter "w" to the end of the raster filename. For example, a raster named mymap.jpg should have a world file named mymap.jpgw.
