i saw a video to use L3dt kind of software but it did not work. please help!!
is there no software that directly converts a location into a height map i.e. in >RAW format from a png or jpg height map.
What size do you mean. There are some ways to get heightmaps, but their quality depends on the size you want the heightmap.
I.e. you can get heightmaps from a NASA satellite, its free as long as you give them the credit, but they arent very detailed, and city sized maps arent very good, but if you need the heightmap of earth theyre a good option. Here’s a link for more Information.
Or you can use Google Earth for more detailed locations. Here’s a [tutorial] (Tutorial: Importing Detailed Terrain from Google Earth - Epic Games Forums) on how to extract heightmaps from Google Earth.
well i need a well detailed height map as i want to create an open world game but the problem is that i need an easier solution because i don’t have a full team to help me .i am working alone on this project hence i need a direct and easy solution on height map import.
