## What it is
Terrain3D is a high-performance, editable terrain system for Godot 4, written in C++ as a GDExtension addon. It supports sculpting, texture painting, foliage instancing, LOD, and heightmap imports from many external tools.

## Use cases
- create large open-world terrain in Godot 4
- sculpt and paint terrain textures in a game engine
- import heightmaps from World Machine or Unity into Godot
- add foliage instancing with LODs to a Godot scene
- build terrains up to 65km across with variable sized regions

## When to choose
- you are building a 3D game in Godot 4 that needs performant, editable terrain
- you need to import heightmaps from external terrain tools
- you want sculpting, texturing, and foliage in one addon

## When to avoid
- you use an engine other than Godot 4
- you need voxel-based or procedurally generated-only terrain
- you need a terrain solution for 2D games

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, simulation, image-processing
- domain: graphics, simulation
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform, cpp
- tags: godot, godot4, terrain, heightmap, gdextension, terrain-editing, sculpting, foliage, gamedev-tool, game-development
