Height Maps and Terrain Masks
« on: October 30, 2012, 08:07:15 pm »
Heya  ;D

I have only JUST started on my first height and terrain mask map. I ask nicely - can you use the 'WaterMill' height map more than once? My sister'll kill me if I don't make her a pretty meadow with streams, geez.

Also, I am still confused about terrain masks. I would appreciate if anyone can give easier advice! MY working out of terrain masks:

1. Load your height map.

2. Change to RGB not greyscale.

3. Red - middle areas. Green - mountainous areas. Blue - deep areas.

THEN I DON'T KNOW.

I understand height maps and im working on one now.

Well I am sorry I can't answer certain questions here since I have never worked on height maps or terrain masks but well you could look here for a number of helpful tutorials that might answer your questions:

Look at the first catagory for "Map Tutorials"

2.) If you are working with GIMP you change it from greyscale to RGB by clicking where it says "Image" at the top and then "Mode".
