Radobot Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I made my version of 3D Heightmap plugin. New version 1.3 has now light angle option and updated names of settings. How plugin works: Imagine that you are looking at uneven surface - heightmap (image in PDN). Lightness of each pixel represents it's height. You can choose from where is light coming and you can adjust the angle of light. Plugin generates how will heightmap look with your settings. It generates lightness of each pixel by calculating at which angle it is from next pixel and generating lightness of pixel form angle. How to use it: Light direction - Direction from which is light coming. Brightness - Angle from which is light coming. Contrast - Strength of light. Shadows - Turns on/off shadows. Replace Alpha - If you have image with transparent parts, this changes them all to one value. Replace Alpha with - Value, to which change all Alpha in image. Plugin is in Stylize submenu. Images before: Images after: Just ask if you want something (previous versions, code, ...) . Heightmap v1.3.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) this looks like it could be useful...(downloads plugin) PS your sample images are reversed as in if the before pics are labeled 1 2, the after pics would correspond to 2 1. Yay for me over-complicating my explanations EDIT: I always wanted one of these with a lighting angle adjustment...could you please add that? pleasepleasepleaseplease?

Radobot Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I made new version 1.1 with angle adjustment (as you wished ) and fixed images. Now I am thinking about shadows. P.S. thanks for . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I was thinking more along the lines of this : but that was a good addition too... moar updates! ^^ Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Radobot Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Sorry for not responding. I don't know how to make that lighting angle (I know how to do it mathematically, but I don't know how to write it in code). Moar updates? Tell me what do you want (except that lighting angle ). Edit: I made new version 1.2 with shadows option! Edited April 2, 2011 by Radobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radobot Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 New version 1.3 is available! Now it has light direction option! (well, only left, right, top and bottom, but still better than nothing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 omygosh I haven't been checking up on this enough. Thanks for the updates! (downloads again) PS Just a thought, but you may wish to change "light angle" and "difference" to "brightness" and "contrast" so people won't get confused (since those terms are typically reserved for other things). Great plugin! I pretty much don't use height field to normal map anymore because of this Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Radobot Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thank you for helping my with this plugin ! When I program applications/plugins I usually name thing by my names because they came from my crazy ideas and I then know what they mean, so often the names aren't the best and can confuse others. Again thanks . (And by the way I thought you forgot on this plugin, I forgot too .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Help? I didn't do much more than post requests xD Thanks for the great plugin! Are you planning on adding more to it in the future?

Radobot Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yes, help. You're saying what could be improved. I don't know if I will add something to it. I don't know what I could add/improve and be able to add/improve it. If you have any ideas? I'll then tell you if I could add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
