i need help inL3DT

[Elemenz]

Hello, every time i make a jump in L3DT and i want to look at it in game it is smaller or bigger then in L3DT.
And my Question is how can i fix that?

L3DT scale can be hard to learn.

To find out where you're going wrong, resize your heightmap in L3DT to the same as your HMF and THT. So say your HMF scale is 400 x 400 x 10, in L3DT change your:

Horizontal scale to 1    (this means 1 unit = 1 pixel)
Resize heightmap to 400 x 400
change vertical range to 0 - 10.

That will display your track in L3DT exactly the same as it would be interpreted by MXB.

Next, because it's impractical to work at a scale of 1 and at only 400 x 400 pixels, you will want to resize your heightfield to 2049 x 2049 in L3DT so you have more data to work with (higher quality) When it asks you if you want to maintain the same physical map scale press YES, this will scale your height (Z) to match the same scale percentage increase as your other dimensions (X, Y) got meaning you have more detail to work with and the same size heightmap.

When you understand it, it all makes sense, but if you don't it can be a right pain.

Also, it's a good idea to have an area of 100% black and 100% white set and to never go below or above them. This way, you always know now matter what jumps or dips you build it will always be right in game.

What stage is this appearing?

What is your original min and max altitude?

[Elemenz]

it is appering when i import the heightmap.

where can i see the altitude?


btw sorry for my englich i am german.

When you import your heightmap you have to select the options of how to import it in the popup. Choose how large (X & Y) you want it and how tall in altitude (z) 0 - something. If your settings in HMF and THT are 10, set it to 0 - 10.

But please, go back and watch my entire tutorial, it explains all this.

There's nothing else I can really tell you to help.

[Elemenz]

these are my altitude.

So watch the tutorial. Then when you import use 276 x 276 for your horizontal size, 1.0 As your horizontal scale and then 0 to 2.2 as your altitude.

I wrote all this stuff in my first post but here it is again. This time I've put your scale in:

Did you already try Unreal Engine Landscape Editor ? Unreal Engine Landscape QUick Start Guide
