joltan 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Great stuff, as usual! One more hint though: By using the terrain errosion tool from the visitor tool menu you can make your imported terrain look smoother and more real. Especially if your island is not based on real height data but on an image like in Col. Klinks tutorial it will improve the looks of your island greatly!

jens198 0 Posted June 29, 2003 Hi folks, tried the tutorial. But after importing the ase file into visitor, I get results like this one. after pressing the button on the right side of the zoom tool I cab see the island that way (twice the island plus the green line above it) Any ideas what I did wrong? jens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joltan 0 Posted June 29, 2003 Save your file as 32bit tga before you convert it to ASE. To get a 32 bit tga copy your grayscale image into an rgb image and add the alpha channel (3x8 bit rgb + 1x8 bit alpha = 32 bit). If you have less than 32 bit the image gets distorted when converting it with Kegetys tool. Can someone make this a sticky??? This question turns up every second day...

jtec 0 Posted June 29, 2003 Just also check that when you are saving it in rgb format that you do not compress it. You should see a box at the bottom when your about to save it called options click that and uncheck compressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
