Making Height Maps
« on: May 27, 2012, 01:38:36 pm »
Just wondering, (I've never made a map before), but would I possibly be able to make a Heightmap use Paint rather then Photoshop?

No, you can only use Photoshop or Gimp.

check out tutorial list here : https://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=18898.0

It contains around 5 or more heightmap tutorials, some with videos as well incase some dont understand the written ones.

If a heightmap dosent work make sure it is

513x513
png image
grayscale
