• TerraTools 4.0 VBS2 exporter in 6th major release • VBS2 exporter ensures correlation across multiple

visual, constructive and serious game runtimes. • Exporter supports Urban Details™ processing

– Parametric building exterior generation – Building interior generation from blueprints – Urban clutter generation – Users can modify default behaviors using Tcl scripting

• New capabilities in VBS2 1.60 supported in TerraTools:– Large area multi-map generation in rugged terrain– Import of complex models from COLLADA and 3DS MAX– Underground structure generation and placement– Ocean (bathymetry) and stream flow models.

Annotated Urban Environments

• Working with SimCentric and Bohemia Interactive• VBS2 1.60 with SimCentric Urban Ambience “add-ons”• Use TerraTools 4.0 to generate correlated:

– VBS2 maps and multi-tile .pbo– POL annotated utdata layers

• POL data layers are loaded into Urban Ambience• Current default behaviors include:

– Limiting walking to sidewalks and avoid street areas– Crossing roads within crosswalk areas– Entering and exiting buildings are door locations.– Milling activity within defined park and open areas

• TerraSim is committed to support VBS2 2.X• We have supported all VBS2 runtimes since V1.23• Our exporter produces intermediate representations which

decouple VBS2 runtime changes.• Expected exporter improvements include:

– Updates to support automated AI path generation– Updates to improved parametric building destruction– Updates to support improvements in surface materials specification– Improved work-flow for large area multi-map construction– New capability for annotated environments for pattern of life (POL)
