[Plugin] Heightmap from model
-
Hi all,
After a long silence, here is another toy I wrote to export SU terrains to Unity3D game engine, which uses RAW heightmaps to create terrains. I thought it could be of any interest to others, so here it is.
Features:- creates BMP or RAW images, greyscale or color, 8 bits or 16 bits from any view of your model (top view recommanded of course)
- creates a colored mask where no faces found in the view
- can crop the image to the model projection
- can blur the heightmap before writing it.
Extract in Plugins folder, PDF doc included.
Regards,
EDIT: new release May 5th 2010, instant bugsplat fix
Get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=mesh2HeightMap
ENGLISH VERSION: Extract in Plugins folder, PDF doc included.
VERSION FRANCAISE: à décompresser dans le dossier Plugins, doc PDF incluse.

That is interesting. Could probably use the generated image as displacement texture in render engines.
-
Thanks Didier, very interesting and good to see you around..
-
Hi Didier,
Indeed, long time no see and good to know you are still around.
I have been looking at Unity for a while now so I guess this will come handy soon - thanks!

I get a instant BugSplat upon starting SU.
When I remove it from the plugins folder SU starts normally.
Using latest SU and the english version of your script. -
Same here...

Thanks
Works at 6 version, but slow, seems my pc is slow
same thing at 7 as TIG and Pixero -
thank you very much for sharing.
Could make the menu visible, in order to personalize it.
the plugins *.rbs , and menu of plugins *.rb -

Are you on Mac, guys ? or do you use 7.1. ?
Always the same boring SU version update problems with rubies, I guess...
-
PC, Vista, with latest SUp v7.1+M1
-
@TIG:
I'm on SU v7.0.8657
Do you know of any change in the API for 7.1. ? -

-
Have you modified any 'built-in' methods that might clash with others mods ?
-
@TIG: No, I never do that !

awesome Didier! I had asked for such a plugin some months ago! It will be great to create some bumpmaps (or displacement maps) to use with VRAY!
-
Didier I extracted the plugin to the plugins folder and it causes SU to crash upon opening. I removed the plugin and SU opened fine.
-
It seems that crappy Vista is causing the problem (as usual).
Since the script writes binary BMP or RAW files, ensure you have the right to do this (be logged as admin ?)
Any other clue anyone ? -
Well...I had the same problems on XP at work, so... it can't be just Vista.
