Note: Important images have a larger version. Just click on them. Intro: Okay folks. In this tutorial we are going to learn how to create height maps using Photoshop or a similar program. We can then use these in a modeling program to create 3D terrain. Sounds great right? Let's get started.Preparation: Since I will be using Adobe Photoshop© in this tutorial the references that I make will be to that program (duh!) but this doesn't mean that this is the program that you have to use. Something like JASC Paintshop Pro or even Paint will work. Also, since I am writing this for 3D Game Studio A5, I will be using MED and WED. All of the programs mentioned have a trial version available for download. The links will be in the footnotes at the end of this tutorial. |
