Need some tips

Post by manored »

What I need tips about is how to know where the elevations/depressions you did in the height map will be on the textures map so you dont put your mountain texture in the depth sea :lol: .

What image editing software are you using? If you are using something like Gimp or Photoshop that uses layers... Just increase the size of your heightmap to the size of your texturemap. Then you can add a new layer and draw your texture on top of the heightmap. You could also change the opacity of one or the other to see exactly where you are placing textures.
