mankyle 407 Posted June 12, 2010 Hi there guys I'm trying to create a new island but a strange problem has arisen. I create my sat, my mask and my greyscale picture for importing the terrain. The problem is that when I import the terrain the resulting terrain is "squished" in the horizontal axis. I have checked the resolution and it is 1024 x 1024. I have selected a 1024 x 1024 terrain with 10 meter cells, a 10240 x 10240 meters terrain. I have changed parameters in the pbl file, reimported different pictures,.... the resulting terrain is always "squished. It is as if I had imported a 1024 x 512 pixels picture. The x axis is divided by two . thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted June 12, 2010 "Squished" from memory is because your greyscale heightmap has the wrong bit depth. Can't remember the exact numbers, but you may have an 8bit greyscale and its meant to be 16bit greyscale (or 32 ? ). Can be difficult because many paint programs I've used wont allow you to save greyscale in a higher number of bits. Think ive use Wilbur in the past to load and then re-export in the right format.
