Hello all. This is what I'm trying to achieve: I have a topographical chart (curves that depict the height of a territory) which I want to use as a heightmap for blender. Blender uses gradient grayscale images to raise the pixels of a plane according to the "whiteness" of each pixel (i.e. the white pixel will be raised to the higher level, whereas black pixel will remain to the bottom. The in-between pixels will be raised according to their value of white). With this in mind someone must create a grayscale gradient image out of the topographical chart. Could someone suggest a smart way to apply grayscale gradient to the image according to the height specified by the curves?
My map resembles this one: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/PHA/alaskap/apc-f3.gif And the result I am trying to achieve resembles this one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/americanfishguy/Buildings/Australia.png The blender effect I want resembles this one: http://gchen.sdf-eu.org/Chengine/Images/Screenshots/HeightMap.jpg Thanx in advance!
