Any tips for a mountain height map?
« on: September 19, 2016, 04:00:57 am »
I'm making a huge RP map and I know how to do most things I need to know in the height map except mountains, so any tips for making mountains with the height maps? Btw I use Gimp since I'm pretty used to it.
Oh, cool, I exist.

You'll want to use a color that's significantly lighter than your ground color to make the mountains high. Using a textured brush that's lumpy/jagged will create realistic, uneven ground for the mountains. If you're looking to make pointed peaks, a circle with smudged/blended edges will create a sharp point depending how you set the height. c:
