Hi :)
Some time ago I saw a really good tutorial on a software like Terragen (to create create outdoors scenes), but i can't find nor the name nor the tutorial... can someone help me please ?

thx :)
 
i don't think that's what he means. i think he means: outputting a greyscale heightmap from terragen to use as the basis for a displacement. isn't there a 3rd-party app that can do this?

even if there is, you're better off creating the terrain in the usual way inside hammer. a single mesh might be less fiddly but also less flexible (and no overhangs either with a heightmap)
 
I've seen a tutorial using all free tools to grab a map with the height and all that of a certain part of the earth (forgot the name of those types of maps) thats in some format that can be imported into a heightmap gernerator and then used to make a .vmf with the displacement.

I think thats how it worked anyway.
 
Oh wow, never knew that was there heh heh.

Many thanks.
