Title: Height Map Generator needed for exterior
Post by: bulyfabi on 2017-06-21, 10:41:08

Do you guys know any good height map generator? I found https://terrain.party/ which is pretty easy to use but they said it's not the most accurate one

Also what's the proper way to use it? I use it with the generic 3ds max displace modifier on a simple plane

What exactly do you need this generator for?
You can build a pretty nice landscape with procedural maps as well. :)

Yes using displace
for real places you can extract maps from google map, for generation i like GeoControl\World Creator(new name)

Thank you guys for the answers!

I'm creating visuals of a viewpiont on a small hill but since than we discussed the camera angles with the client and the accuracy of the hill is not that important. I attached the 'path view' WIP of it.

PS: the arrow is not pointing to the viewpiont I make visuals of, but it's close to that one.. don't ask what's the point, guess money. Hungary :D
