How do you make a height map with Adobe Photoshop or any other picture editing program to load it up as a .bmp (bitmap) so make a heightmap (and terrain) with EasyGen. And does anybody know how to load it up in GTK Radiant if you did that..? Any tutorials or something like that. Please tell me if you know anything :P

Why not post this in the JA Mapping (http://www.lucasforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&forumid=540) forum?

Chester this tutorial should answer all your questions:

ala-ka-dooved, this thread is moved...

Thanks, the tutorial is great. I haven't found anything about adding models into the landscape...

Just place them where you want them as usual.

Q3map_surfaceModel PWNZ!

Yeah, but i can't get the models in the terrain in EasyGen. Or do i just have to do that in Radiant?

lol, first you make your terrain in easy-gen, then you export it in the radi; you can put models in the terrain only in the radi ;) *g*
And a tip: If you don't see the terrain after in the radi after exporting in there: View -> filter -> detail brushes off/on

Like I said, this is your best option. If you want just a few or even a lot of bushes and/or rocks in your map, add this parameter to your TERRAIN shader file. No fiddling around wasting your time trying to put stupid models that are going to lag your map anyways. Just add this and they pop up all over the place when you get ingame. NO clipping required! Well.....why would you?

BTW: I recommend making your own .ase models and then adding them to your shader. But you can add MD3s if you want to...just specify the filetype or radiant wont pick them up.

Who knows anything about blended textures? When i use different textures to paint my terrain that i made in EasyGen, i can only choose two things at the end, the bottom/sides, that is the texture of the skybox, which is (in JKA's case) system/caulk and i can set the top, the texture of the terrain. But how can i use the alphamap textures which i just painted the terrains with..?

anyone?

lol, I have the same problem...I have a tutorial, but when I've done like there it dodn't work ^^
I send you the tutlink, when I see it ;)

The tutorials you guys are refering to should have the attached shader files you need to blend your terrain. YES, you have to make a custom shader to blend terrain using AlphaMOD shaders. If not I will check and post them here later.

Okay here is the REAL tutorial:

Use this and you should be good to go.

I thought this one :p but I didn't have the link either :s

Thank you very much, Lauser, that really helped me.
