3D Terrain Viewer

What is 3D Terrain Viewer?

3D Terrain Viewer transforms grayscale height map images into interactive 3D terrain landscapes. Upload any height map where brightness equals elevation, and explore the resulting terrain with orbit controls. Perfect for game developers prototyping levels, geography students studying topography, or artists creating landscape references.

How to use

1. Upload a grayscale height map image (PNG or JPG) where white represents the highest elevation and black the lowest.
2. Adjust the height scale to exaggerate or flatten the terrain, choose a color scheme (topographic, satellite, wireframe), and set the terrain resolution.
3. Orbit around the terrain by dragging, zoom with scroll wheel, and export a screenshot of your favorite viewpoint as a PNG.

Result

A game developer uploads a 512x512 Perlin noise height map, sets height scale to 150%, applies topographic coloring, and rotates to find the best camera angle for a mountain pass scene in their RPG.
