To get this value, in 元DT go to Operations -> Heightfield -> Change vertical range.Īdd the non-negative minimum value to the maximum value.
Since this is a 1024x1024 terrain, set both to 1024. since 元DT doesn't export the heightmap upside down leave this at 0. If the terrain heightmap needs to be flipped. For this terrain, it is 1024.īytes per pixel (1 = 8bit, 2=16bit). PageFileFormat=l3dt_tutorial-page-0-0.otc Now go back to Notepad++ and open l3dt_tutorial.otc. Now check the Re-size for export box and set the Width and Height to the same values as you did when you generated the terrain (i.e. Name the file the same as you did previously (i.e. button to browse to where your terrain files are located. In 元DT, right click the Heightfield layer -> Export layer.Ĭlick the. Now click File -> Save All to save your current files. If successful, you should see something similar to Replace in Opened Files: 5 occurrences were replaced. Set "Find what" to template_04_raw and "Replace with" with your terrain name, then click Replace All in All Opened Documents. Press CTRL+F to open the Find menu, then switch to the Replace tab.
