Height Map

Sahil Bhardwaj

Can anyone tell me how to create height map (manually and with quixel) and how to place them in Maya with normal map.

Creating a height map manually is a matter of preferences. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap)

You require a Normal, Cavity map to generate a Height map In the Quixel Suit.

In Photoshop & Quixel:



The way you import them to maya is something I don't know since I use 3Ds Max. But I assume you drag and drop them into the Height Map Slot in your material setup.
