Attached Link: 3DEM

I like 3DEM. Converts all DEM and SDTS files (and many obsure ones). Features 3D flybys as well. Also converts Mars Orbital Explorer DEM's! Great for Mars terrains. Especially the flyby feature.

Outputs .tifs, .bmp's and Terragen files among others.

Easy to use program.

DEM's (Digital Elevation Models) are three dimensional models of terrains. Basically a three dimensional topographic map.

They can be altered, textured and modified just like any other map/image in Bryce or any other 3D programs.

I get USA DEM's here: http://www.geocomm.com/ (registration required).

And the Mars Dems/SDTS's here: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mgs/megdr.html (Some these are VERY large files.)

Thanks ranachronos for the info on microDEM. I'll download it give it a try.
 
Hope this info helps for those of you that are new to DEM's.

Best,

Jacques
