LCS - HMES TerreSculptor

HMES

The power to create what you can imagine

LCS is an Epic Integrated Partner and is currently developing a suite of tools for Epic's Unreal Engine 3.

The new TerreSculptor Heightmap Editor Software (HMES) includes both a standalone Windows application plus similar functionality in a library for use directly in the Unreal Editor.

TerreSculptor HMES supports heightmap creation and editing, plus importing and exporting of a large number of image, heightmap, digital elevation model, and mesh formats.

TerreSculptor HMES standalone is expected to be ready in early 2010, with the Unreal Editor version available later that year. The HMES library software will be available for per-title licensing to current Unreal Engine 3 licensees only. This page will be updated soon with full software information.
