The Terrain Editor Artifex Terra 3D is a heightmap based realtime terrain and landscape modeling and texturing application (eg. for MMORPGs, etc.) trying to combine the usability of classic 2D painting programs with 3D content generation. Offering a great variety of powerful and fine resolving tools and filters while remaining well within 2 boundaries: simplicity & practical productivity.
The fast learning curve enables inspiring creation within a very short time, even for beginners. Artifex is designed very brush-centric, because we strongly believe, that the brush, even after centuries, still is the artist's most important tool.
