Height map for small terrain

Help! How do I...
2

I need to see the TMD project file for more detail, but here’s my two cents based on those images.

  1. Jpeg format is not the one you want to use for your heightmap. Use “height output”, and set the heightmap to TIFF 16Bit or higher. JPEG compression is designed for color images for the web, it’s only good for bringing in gradient colortables etc.

  2. Your heightmap still has elevation, it’s just a bit low quality. Part of it is due to the reason I mentioned in #1, the other part may be a custom resolution set within your node graph. Double check everything, make sure none of your groups (if any) have “custom resolution” or similar setting enabled.

If these don’t help, PM me your wm project. I’ll see what I can do.
