GoTerrain is a real-time AR terrain builder that combines different kinds of data such as altitude and normals, vector tiles information and satellite imagery.
With your smartphone’s GPS device GoTerrain can build the world around you while you’re moving, in a “GO” fashion. Alternatively you can build every real world landscape in your scene in few clicks.
Combine it with GoMap to create a new generation's location based game!
Thanks to it’s flexibility you can use GoTerrain in many completely different ways: location based terrain generation, in-editor scene builder, realistic landscapes reproductions, terrain analysis, low poly style and so on.

Terrain generation modes:
Gradient mode uses DEM (Digital Elevation Model) apis to build the 3D representation of a terrain's surface, and colors it using a customizable color gradient.
Satellite mode uses elevation data combined with satellite images in order to achieve a realistic representation of the terrain.
Vector mode uses vector tiles data to render different areas of the map. Landuse and Water information are processed to build a fully mesh-based environment, using your custom materials and prefabs to decorate it.
GO Link it’s a way to use GoTerrain and GoMap together, building real world terrains with also buildings and roads!
It requires GO Map - 3D map for AR Gaming
Map Style and Materials:
You can customize every element of the map inside the editor without touching a single line of code.
Every terrain generation mode has a wide set of customization parameters that will make you build your own terrain style easily. Vector mode offers customization features for each water and landuse kind: lakes, rivers, parks, beaches, forests, etc.
Locations preset:
There are some location presets inside the Location Manager class that you can toggle from the editor. If you want to use your own coordinates use the custom preset and set the values inside the demo coordinates property.
If you build for mobile platform (iOS or Android) you can chose to use your GPS location if available.
