Using vector displacement as source

General Discussion
1

I have a vector displacement map (not a gray scale gray map)

I want to use this as a source.
WM accepts the file but the 3D is not at all what you expect.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, vector displacement maps are not easily convertible to heightfields (they can describe overhangs and other such things). World Machine is a heightfield-based terrain modeling tool, and so unfortunately you will need to find a way to convert from the vector map to a scalar displacement map (heightfield).
