3D VIEW

3D Terrain Viewer

STREAM renders your terrain in a fast GPU-driven 3D view. Fly across gigabyte DEMs and orthophotos at full resolution, switch instantly between 2D and 3D, and see analysis and imagery draped on the real surface.

Why a real 3D view helps

A flat map hides slope and shape. Seeing the DEM in true 3D — with the orthophoto and analysis draped on it — makes the terrain immediately readable and helps spot problems a plan view misses.

STREAM's renderer is built for scale, so the 3D view stays smooth even on very large datasets.

3D Terrain Viewer in STREAM

GPU terrain rendering

A Vulkan compute renderer draws the terrain at full resolution in 3D, without dropping detail.

2D and 3D

Switch instantly between a plan (2D) view and a perspective (3D) view as the task needs.

Imagery & analysis draped

See orthophotos and analysis overlays wrapped onto the real 3D surface.

Fly-throughs

Move smoothly across the site and record fly-through views for presentation.

Frequently asked questions

Can STREAM show terrain in 3D?

Yes. STREAM renders the DEM in a GPU-driven 3D view at full resolution, with imagery and analysis draped on the surface.

Can I switch between 2D and 3D?

Yes. STREAM switches instantly between a 2D plan view and a 3D perspective view.

Does the 3D view work on large data?

Yes. The renderer streams gigabyte DEMs and orthophotos and keeps the 3D view smooth at full detail.
