How to add Detail map to landscape?
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 2:08 pm
Hi Aaron How would I add a detail map to the mesh or to the heightmap that gets exported?
So, what's on your mind?

Thankyou for your continued support.
Unfortunately, no, I have not yet added a detail map to the mesh exports. What mesh format do you intend to use? Do you want a single detail map for all the land types, or does your target renderer support splatted detail maps (if so, how many)?
As for the 'combining multiple heightmaps smoothly'; yes, I think that's implemented.
Firstly, there's the old 'atMergeMaps' plugin, which smooths the joins between two or more heightmaps:

However, I seem to recall you wanted the edges of your heightmaps smoothed to a particular value before joining. This was implemented in the atEdgeLeveller plugin:

Please let me know if you had something different in mind.
Best regards,
Aaron.
