When making a blank heightfield, the only settings required are the dimensions of the map, the horizontal scale, and the mosaic settings (if used). These are entered using the heightfield size wizard, shown below: text/html 2017-08-31T05:34:28+00:00 http://www.bundysoft.com/docs/doku.php?id=l3dt:userguide:newmap:design_inflate&rev=1504157668&do=diff Note: This page follows-on from making a new project page. Algorithm description If you select a 'designable map' project in the select project type wizard, the algorithm L3DT will use to create the terrian map will be its very own 'Design/Inflate' algorithm, which is explained on the algorithms page. text/html 2017-08-31T07:08:25+00:00 http://www.bundysoft.com/docs/doku.php?id=l3dt:userguide:newmap:design_inflate_blank&rev=1504163305&do=diff Note: This page follows-on from making a new project page. The blank designable map option in the new project wizard allows you to generate a completely empty design map, that you may then edit manually. If you choose this option, you will be asked to input the heightfield and design map size (using the heightfield size and design map size wizards), but you will not have to set any of the other design map parameters (otherwise seen in the design map parameters wizard). text/html 2017-08-31T04:36:45+00:00 http://www.bundysoft.com/docs/doku.php?id=l3dt:userguide:newmap:fractal&rev=1504154205&do=diff Note: This page follows-on from making a new project page. The Fractal parameters wizard pane (below) is very simple, which reflects the fact that L3DT's fractal algorithm is itself very simple. * The map must be a square power of two, ranging from 128 × 128 to 8192 × 8192 pixels. * A low Fractal persistence value makes the terrain smoother, and a larger value rougher. The recommended range is ~ 0.45 to 0.65. * If you select the Edge wrapping option, the top/bottom and left/right bord… text/html 2017-08-31T05:32:46+00:00 http://www.bundysoft.com/docs/doku.php?id=l3dt:userguide:newmap:horizscale&rev=1504157566&do=diff One of the most important factors to consider when making a new terrain map is what horizontal scale to use. If your horizontal scale is too large, your terrain map will look very bland and undetailed, but if your horizontal scale is too small, your map will cover only a tiny area. On this page, I hope to provide some useful guidance on how to choose the right horizontal scale. text/html 2017-08-31T07:26:02+00:00 http://www.bundysoft.com/docs/doku.php?id=l3dt:userguide:newmap:perlin&rev=1504164362&do=diff Note: This page follows-on from making a new project page. After selecting the 'Perlin heightmap' option in the 'new project' wizard, L3DT will show you the 'heightfield size' wizard pane (shown below), in which you may choose the size settings for your perlin heightfield.
