CE: Intermediate- Create & Convert Heightmaps To Terrain

Post by Hailfire »

Here is a detailed walkthrough of how to make your own heightmaps in photoshop, then convert them to usable terrain with 3dsmax. You can use any imaging program you wish but I refer to photoshop in this tutorial. This package includes the .psd and .max files. Also included are several reference images.

Note: If you cannot open the .max file, it's because you don't have all of the .dll's that 3dsmax6 has. In all of my tutorials, I used 3dsmax6.
