Scaling should also be noticed, since i think i'm using a different Z Worldscaling.

Re: ArtifexTerra - Terrain editor [0.90RC2b - Bugfix - Pg.8]
which pretty much explains the required size format. So the only way with the current version is to chop it up and convert it to PNG. 8 Bit would be no problem but the output is either 16bit PNG or a custom float binary. I would not recommend 8 bit anyway since it comes with a fat quality loss, 16 bit already has a slight but noticable loss being converted from the internal float array. If you load and save around 20 times from and to 16 bit PNG you will already suffer a very visible data erosion and previously smooth slopes will look stairy - the reason I started default saving to binary.Error message: OGRE EXCEPTION(2:InvalidParametersException): Heightmap width must be a multiple of (tileSize-1) + 1 in ET::Impl::checkInfo at .\src\ETTerrainManager.cpp (line 63)
The scaling should be no problem and can be set freely.

Re: ArtifexTerra - Terrain editor [0.90RC2b - Bugfix - Pg.8]
But my Engine uses an 8bit heightmap and i have to use it. I'ts a bit more complicated. I have an 8bit heightmap and an 16bit colormap of sizes up to 6144x4096 pixel, where each pixel is an Tile.
Now i searched the web for a good TerrainEditor doing the heightmap stuff. The colormap is more difficult and i don't expect to find an programm todo this. But i want to draw the heightmap and maybe also generate the shadowmap. Thats why i'm asking, weather i could import/export my own files. Because I love the way i could draw in your Editor

this is for example a combined color+heightmap: http://sience.schattenkind.net/iris4kin ... n10%29.png

Is ArtifexTerra still developed? How to get ArtifexTerra's source code?

Everything directed at your website is all down.
Is the web server still up and running?
Can't view any of the SS or even DL the binary...

What happened to the AT3d website


It's been over 2 months now, and the website is still dead.
Is there any other way to DL the binary?
I used to have a copy over a year ago for a class project, but I don't have that anymore...

It would be great when somebody adds details.
Also the videos can be embedded to the page by the youtube button in the edit menue. (maybe you need to enable the advanced edit mode)
Also one or more screenshots would be nice.
How to add images you can read here:
http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Help+-+Images
More help you find in the wiki menu at "Ogre Wiki Help".
It would be nice to add it to the OGRE DCC Tools page.
The website is dead since months.
@Nauk: It would be great if you upload the latest binary version to a public repository (like code.goodle.com, soureforge, etc.).
Maybe also the source code (if you like to share), screenshots, help files, wiki snapshot, ...

Add your country to your profile ... it's interesting to know from where of the world you are.

Maybe you closed your nice project.
In this case it would be great if you publish the code and useful stuff on a public hoster , which keep the content online for many years (e.g. Sourceforge, code.google, bitbucket), because it could be still useful for other people.
I'm sad to see several good projects going dead, ...

I will remove the "dead project" note from the wiki page and add the link to your new website.
