L3DT Logo

Large 3D Terrain Generator (or L3DT for short) is a large scale terrain generator created by BundySoft. The software can create detailed 3D maps that can be used in software such as Unity, or for modding pre-existing games such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Arma 3. By specifying parameters, the program generates a terrain map, texture map, normal map, and other important layers. The Makerspace has the free version installed on its Alienware Workstation.

L3DT terrains can be imported directly into Unity for game design. Terrain maps, texture maps, and normal maps are needed for the most optimal result. This YouTube video describes how to setup your L3DT terrain in Unity.

Modding Games

Maps generated in L3DT can be used in mod-supported games such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Arma 3. A detailed guide to each can be found below:
