Title: Real time 3d height mapping
Post by: VRT_FLYER on February 15, 2005, 07:08:59 AM
Hello guys  ive never made a track and im  not familiar with  all the  tools available yet . Ihave  been messing with battlecraft 1942. Its a map editor for battlefield  1942 . Iwas  workin on maps for  BF1942 with my  brother and thought . I  wonder  if  i can use  this  tool for  mcm ? Yes you  can export the  height  maps, and it has 3 preset map sizes 257,512,1024 they  can  be exported to  24 bit  grey scale .raw file,  and converted to tga with photoshop. The  nicest  thing i found was to  be  able  to see your terrain in  3d and manipulate  it . Also an excellent set of  tools  to fine  tune your  disp map. So if  you  have  the  game  or know someone who does,check it out . Who knows  maby  its  usefull ?  ;)

If ya  do try  it  out let  me  know  if  ya have any questions . I would  be more than happy to help out . Here is a link for the latest editor http://www.planetbattlefield.com/battlecraft42/  its  version 2.1 There is improved camera movement ect....  and yes you need Battlefield to use  the editor i tryed it without  battlefield installed .  I never  tryed  it  with  demo though .
