hi, im kang in korea. first i can’t speak english very well. understad this point. ^^;;
Troubleshoot is the antialias of WM heightmap image. I made 2k heightmap image(i use file out option 16bit porray tga and modify red channel photoshop cs2). but the image appear the stair situation. i can’t
erase it. i append that picture is cropped.
i can’t open 16bit file in photoshop cs2.
made povray-TGA(16bit)image----->open phothoshop---->photoshop read it 8bit images. ---->occur stair situation.
I try to all my effort. but stair situation leaves still, as you look picture.
try: 1. I extract *.ter to WM and then use tconv.exe-->i made
16bit tif images. but still leaves a contour line.
2. extract .r16 file and change to file extension. then
Channels count = 1
Depth = 16bit
Byte order is IBM PC
Header is 0 bytes.
open the file above option in photoshop cs2.
but result is same.
Note that “seeing” artifacts on a greyscale image in a monitor, may be natural due to the color depth being used, graphics drivers, or other things.
Test things using your modelling tool, like you have done on your last image.
I am unable to help you much further than this, because I don’t have the right tools to test it myself.
my work flow: wm–>extract heightmap–>photoshop cs edit—>
maya(displacement or import paint effect map):extract modeling---->Zbrush edit+detail(remove stair situation and draw detail)
