Lumo Builder: a terrain database tool for System Integrators
Lumo Builder is a solid solution for construction and maintenance of geospecific and geotypical terrain databases. In the production workflow, it fits in seamlessly between polygon-based 3D modeling and pre-processing tools for the simulation environment. It is a proven tool for terrain databases and already in use in Driving Simulators and Tactical Engagement Trainers.
Lumo Builder is not a low-level polygon 3D modeller. It is used as a tool for level design using the concept of building blocks which contain a visual, AI and dynamics representation.
Added Value
Customers are nowadays more demanding than ever. They want to modify and maintain databases themselves for simulators used to train users for all kinds of specific tasks, be it driving, shooting, etc. Lumo Builder enables them to do this as it is has an easy to use What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get powerful user interface.
Lumo Builder can be rebranded by re-lion and packaged by you, the system integrator, as an integral part of your simulator providing the customer with the capabilities they require. A plugin can be developed for Lumo Builder that supports your native simulation database format resulting in a tight coupling between Lumo Builder and the simulator offering the customer the best experience possible.

Key features
Key features of Lumo Builder are:
- Can be used by simulator operators / instructors.
- What you see is what you get. Make changes in real-time and Builder shows you what the results are in a 3D view.
- Uses a building block concept (like Lego).
- Maintains a consistent 3D model library.
- Procedural road and intersection generation based on spline networks in full 3D.
- Supports multiple correlated databases: visual, computer generated forces, material, collision hull, etc.
- Open, stores workspace files in text-based format for easy integration in other production tools.
- Geotypical and geospecific database support.
