DDS Volume Heightmap import/export
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2019 8:19 pm
I have read on the forums of people using Gimp to make dds files for Ogre. Using Gimp 2.8 and gimp-dds from https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/ I was able to export to this format. However Ogre crashed when trying to load the file on line 104 of OgreVolumeTextureSource.
Steps I took:
1. Create a new 384x384 pixel file
2. Fill it with a shade of grey
3. Export as dds.
4. Crash in Ogre when loading file.
The export function has many options including Compression, Format, Mipmaps. I have tried several combinations of configuration options but all have failed.
Then I tried to import volumeterrainbig.dds which is included as the example for Ogre. It failed as well citing "Unsupported format (FOURCC: r".
If anyone has a working content creation pipeline for Volume terrains please share your experiences.
