Hi,

It may be a silly question , but does anyone now how to export an EarthSculptor map to 3D Gamestudio A7?
I would be very pleased if someone could make an tutorial or give a link to a website with a tutorial on it.

Gr. LOLZ

Hi, never look at Eaqrth Sculpture but have seen a dearth of others very similar and if they dont have direct export to 3ds, obj or fbx then look for a texture export format.
If they export as bmp, raw or similar then you can greyscale the skin if no raw is available and use that to generate a height map in Med.

Their may be some hieght difference but scale should fix that.

Hope it helps ...

Take a look at MystyMood for A7. It's free and has good documentation.
His web site is here http://www.loopix-project.com/ then click on Easy then templates.

export heightmap from ES to blender>
in Blender save image as an openEXR(32 bit)>
reload the image(IDK why it doesn't always recognize the bit depth)>
using paint tools in blender smooth it a bit>
Add a plane>
enter edit mode it top view>
unwrap plane(project from view UV bounds)>
subdivide plane(as much detail as needed)>
exit edit mode>
apply a material with the image as a texture>
apply a displace modifier(use the texture as displacement)
apply the displace modifier(click apply...finalize)>
export to MED>
Rotate model so up==up>
convert to terrain>
save HMP.

you can make tiled terrain as well by applying your displacement and vertex group to a plane.
Sub-D the plane to the # OF tiles wanted, separate those to individual plane objects, then sub-D each of those to the desired resolution.
