Terragen Terrain File (.ter)

The TER file extension, short for Terragen Terrain File, is used by Planetside Software's Terragen program to store terrain data. These files contain altitude information referenced by Terragen to generate natural scenery, including integer values along the x, y, and z-axes to specify terrain dimensions. Introduced by Planetside Software, TER files facilitate easy terrain transfer and are integral to digital elevation modeling in computer graphics.

Polygon File Format (.ply)

The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
