I need a height map made

hello everyone, I have an idea for a desert map but, I have no idea on how to make a height map. if you know how to make a height map and you are willing to do it for free let me know.

ideally you would know how to make a dev quality or close to dev quality height map but, I doubt anyone would be willing to do that for free.

if you are interested in making me a height map I am looking for something based upon Nevada. with mountains surrounding the map with the inner areas being flatter. I would like something around the size of 10x10 mile height map

again If you are interested please let me know

Have a nice day

 

i have the same question but this isn't the right forum to ask

 

I did not think it was the right forum but, I did not know which on to put it under

 

Theres a heightmap website you can export from. So find some irl location and export that

 

Do you know the URL by any chance?

here's a program I've used before it generates a heightmap from a bunch of configurable sliders

 

https://discord.gg/DKYbSa6r Also PiX3LMonkey has 3 free heightmaps in his discord, scroll down to game assets

 

the link does not work

 

I sent you an invite on discord

 

You can easily paint a heightmap by hand if you like. Use a PNG picture file with 16bit grayscale, where white is high and black is low. The size must fit to your map settings. You can experiment e.g. in photoshop with different noise types, liquify or blur them. It is also possible to shape the terrain directly in the world editor. With a little practice, you can create entire mountain ranges using the on-board sculpting tools. This is very flexible but time consuming.

 

I might try that in the future
