    TBGL Bitmap To M15 [ UPDATED to v1.4 ]

    Hi all,

    here you can download the latest "TBGL Bitmap To Terrain" tool.

    It takes as input bitmap with heightfield, optionally also texture and produces M15 file.
    You can see how much complex will the model be and set up level of detail before the process starts.

    ! Big thanks to Mr. Kent Sarikaya for testing and suggestions !

    I have attached two simple source data bitmaps so you can try how it works


    Bye,
    Petr

    Re: TBGL Bitmap To M15

    Thank you Petr, he did all the work believe me. I just had fun playing with it. It is addicting. Just draw away and you have a nice terrain, it works great. Petr is good, I tell you!!

    One thing that Petr mentioned is the level of detail. You want to use like 1/8 or 1/16 probably, so make sure you do set that option. It makes a big difference in the polycount and yet the model still looks great. And the program is really fast in doing the computations, really neat stuff!!

    Oops, Petr, even though I specify where the texture is located it, it still tried to look in a texture folder and says it can't find the texture.

    Hi Kent,

    if you want to get it viewed using old thinEdge_Viewer.exe, then M15 must be in Models folder and texture in Textures

    [Models]
    - Terrain_Heightmap.m15
    [Textures]
    - Terrain_Heightmap_Texture.bmp
    In script, you can specify it as you want.

    ... ok, beacause it is you I have updated viewer so it will work even with texture in same dir as model, please download here : Latest downloads


    Bye,
    Petr

    Thanks Petr, I forgot about the viewer wanting things in the texture folder. Thanks for the fix to the viewer!!

    Petr, when you have some free time...

    The Divide Height by selection box does not serve any purpose with heightmaps. It would be much nicer if that box was changed to height scale.
    This way the user can adjust it up or down.

    The level of detail box is fine the way it is.

    As you can tell I have been doing lots of tests with it and found it very stable, fast and very useful tool!!

    What about including your M15 file viewer in zip file.
    This way very easy to get an idea of you nice work!

    Good idea Eros,

    I added check box to show model when conversion was finished.
