Landscape Creation Issue [Box Grayed out]

Visceral

Hi PC, im having a really simple yet frustrating issue. Im trying to create a landscape.

I want the landscape to be based on a heightmap that i have created in Mudbox, everything is fine until now. I can't seem to create the lanscape actor.



My heightmap is a .RAW16 so it should work. I have tried to convert a terrain actor, but i cant get that to work at all. Its just complaining about the NumPatches beeing the wrong settings.
I dont have any terrain layers, is that whats wrong?

Shameless selfbump since google shows 0 results for this..

Most likely this is caused because of using a wrong size.

use one of the dimension in the table here:

So you probably want to resize it to a 2017x2017.

Ok it gives me 256 components, but its still grayed out. Should i render out my heightmap at 2017 aswell?

EDIT: Ok im trying to rebake the heightmap as .raw instead of that .raw16 format.

joeriv

yes, the heightmap that you load in should have been rendered out at 2017.

edit: just saw your update .r16 (raw16) is the right format, just make sure to actually bake out the map at 2017, and not just change the values in the udk landscape window to 2017

Thanks a bunch man ! I got a heavy render inhead of me. I should have read the UDN moore carefully.

No problem

I can't remember what the restrictions are on the World machine trial, but in there you can resize a heightmap very fast.

(if you do this, just make sure to set the input to "full range" instead of "natural elevation" and the output to r16 (column on the right side).
