Fistandilius Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I would like to begin my own mod for Fallout 4 with a new area. I know TrickyVein had a tutorial for New Vegas to convert DEM information to usable heightmap. I struggled with that tutorial and the information is now dated and unsupported. I have or have access to Blender, Gimp, VTP, L3DT, Sculptris, & Photoshop CS5, along with the usual free modding tools, tesannwyn, creation kit, niftools, etc.. I have tried various different methods from the internet to try and get a usable heightmap from a dem, including TesAnnwyn methods and I have yet to get a working map into the creation kit. The closest I ever got was as an exercise I tried to take a picture of the Fallout New Vegas heightmap (screen capture from GECK) and I managed to get it to load and look right in L3DT, but then I couldn't generate a heightmap from it or load it in 3d. Any help would be appreciated. If I am able to successfully get it to work I would be glad to see that a tutorial is written to help others. I have noticed that the DEM packages from USGS and Reverb both have a number of resources in them, and I have been able to load heightmaps into various programs using a number of the different files included, but they never quite come out in 3D properly. Starting off with what is the correct files to use from the DEM packages would be a great start. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
