Real-world 3D environment generator

SynTerra

A generator of real-world 3D environments. Draw a box on the map and SynTerra builds the real place: terrain, imagery, buildings, roads and vegetation, georeferenced and at true scale. Works in Unreal Engine with OpenUSD export, with a connector for NVIDIA Omniverse coming soon.
