Add new node - heightmap from bitmap

As i understand currently only File Input node have option to automatically convert bitmap to heighfield - i dont know why this alghorithm not available as separate node, so i may sugest to add it

here i have color node that generates same image as heightmap, but i can not work with it due to there no bridge to convert bitmap into heightmap or so

I know that i can just use primary image, and not image that color node gives me - but i have some ideas about using specificly image generated by color node with filters nodes that process bitmap datatype to create interesting landscape solutions :thinking:


As a bit of a workaround, if you have a black and white image bitmap in a Color node, you can use the Channel Splitter Utility node to convert it into height data. Since it’s black and white, all three channels will be the same, so it shouldn’t matter which one you use. This also works with Colorizer devices, or really any source of bitmap data.

waaaaaaaaaaaaa

thankssss

now i start think that before “feature request” post i should do “help, how to…” :thinking:
