I am brand new to World Machine and have spent the last few days playing around with the various devices and getting familiar with the process of using macros and masks.
I have a question, or more so, need some direction. I have a hand drawn map with the outlines of continents and islands, a few scribbled in mountian ranges, and some rivers and lakes that I would like to generate terrian for. I do not have a grayscale heightmap, nor would I know where to start to draw one by hand. What are some efficient ways I could go about getting the terrain and mountian ranges shaped the way I want with World Machine?
Do I need to start somewhere else with another program to create a grayscale map? If so any suggestions?
Ideally I would like to just work within World Machine but I am completely open to suggestions.
Thanks!
