Am trying to bake several heightmaps within blender (2.65). They all make up one larger heightmap. I'll sum up beneath what I do, works perfectly fine for only one heightmap. My propblem follows after that.
- Eh, ended up as a mini tutorial (edit: bstone's url is much easier and what I searched for):
- make a plane
- scale it (doesn't matter)
- go into edit [list]
- select all vertices
- hit U for unwrap (to bounds)
- This will be the heightmap [list]In edit mode and all vertices selected
- hit New in the UV window [list]
- In the pop up: Give it a name and set width and height to 513
- _Uncheck_ alpha
- Press OK
(next time you load the blend, it loads in the last saved heightmap)[/*]
[/list]
[*]then set a multires on it (I divide it to 512 - 9 divisions - that makes 513x513 vertices)[/*]
[*]sculp it only on Z, or how you do it[/*]
- Add a material to it, leave all as it is [list]
- Add a texture [list]
- Type: Blend
- Mapping/X: X
- Mapping/Y: none
- Mapping/Z: none
- Influence/Blend: Add
- Influence/Colour: Black
- Add a second texture [list]Same as previous but;
- Mapping/X: Y
- Mapping/Y: none
- Mapping/Z: none
- Add a second texture [list]Right a third: The Z for mapping i.e. the height
- Mapping/X: Z
- Mapping/Y: none
- Mapping/Z: none [/*]Influence/Colour: [b]White[/b][/*]
[/list]
[/list]
[*]Save the blend file[/*]
[*]Apply all modifiers[/*]
[*]Then bake (Bake mode: Textures) with the object selected[/*]
[*]Save the heightmap in the UV/Image editor window[/*]
[*]Reload blend file or hit CTRL-Z until you have your modifiers back
or just quit as you are done \o/[/*]
[/list]
The above will be updated regarding the answers
Back to my actual question
With the above, two or more maps for one terrain and both maps have one mountain with a different height, it won't bake as I need. All height values are clamped to the min and max values resulting in mismatches at the borders. Leaving gaps. Anyone knows how I can change that, other methods are also welcome.
