I used to follow this guide for rigs of rods for exporting heightmaps https://forum.rigsofrods.org/threads/tutorial-how-to-export-height-map-from-blender-to-ror.3073/ unfortunately at some point blender started making images noisy, making heightmaps really bumpy. This has persisted over a fresh install of windows too For people that use blender for heightmaps, what settings do you use?
Redipping your toes into map making fillman? --- Post updated --- I have no clue how to do this, but I am looking forward to whatever tomfoolery this is leading to.
It sounds that the exported png isn’t in the right format. It should be 16 or 32bit (can’t remember) in linear or raw greyscale colorspace. If it’s still to bumpy then you could apply a little bit of Gaussian blur in gimp. Remember to save in the highest bitrate here as well.
thanks, I did colour management- SRGB Raw None SRGB export settings- 16 bit, RGBA, 0% compression I think my issue was that I was exporting in 8 bit, because I've been making materials so often recently that I stopped using 16
