Converts a Geotif (.tif) elevation raster to a 3D mesh model in DXF format (.dxf). Perfect to import your topography in your 3D modelling software.
Have you tried all the online tif to DXF converters and none give you the 3D mesh output you are looking for? I made this converter so you can quickly import you topography in your 3D modelling software.
All you have to do is create an account, upload your geotif and select a down sampling factor if any. After the conversion is done, we send you the files by email to be downloaded. A free sample DXF can be created to test the output before buying. We also offer the option to upload a KML polygon to extract only a part of the Geotiff.
I put high emphasis on customer satisfaction. If the file does not conform to your expectations, I will remediate the situation and if it can't be fixed you will be reimbursed in full.
You will be redirect to the DigitalGeo application where the code is hosted.
Image set 1: On the left is the hillshade rendering of the Bryce Canyon DEM as seen in QGIS (file size =119Mb). On the right is the 3D model of the same area following conversion without downsampling (file size = 4.9Gb). Mesh files are notoriously big hence why it is hard to find a good file converter and why most online converters are not adapted to this purpose. We usually recommend at least 4x downsampling. At 8x downsampling, your output file should be in the same order of magnitude as the original file.

Image set 2: On the left, no downsampling of the orginal dataset (file size = 1.15Gb). On the right, exact same view but with 8x_downsample (file size = 84 Mb)
