Generating Height Maps in Photoshop

[@mementomori9391]

1- Black and white 2- Levels- Redure a little bit the color ramp 3-curves- push midle a bit up 4-Duplicate 5-filter-->3d-->generate bump map--> push high to the middle, push blur to remove small details 6-put original over duplicated --> gausian blur to remove detail 7-> put it to overlay

[@Native_Creation]

There's no 3D filter in the newest version of PS, Photopea allows for Normal generation though

[@mementomori9391]

Luckily ​I use pirate photoshop that allows it. I can't understand those decisions in such a big company...@@Native_Creation

[@husienalwi9579]

Clever.. This is what I need for vectric aspire! I've been searching for this tutorial! Thank you, much appreciated❤🙏😊

[@bignicksdesigns]

How have you done in aspire with this. I need to learn height maps too, for aspire. Any tips from here?

[@yodaov3975]

After around 3-4 tries my texture looks just great! thanks a lot

[@sivaselvan8647]

wonderful i was searching for this content for a long time this helped me a lot

[@MartaDjourina]

Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! I managed the part in photoshop but am struggling to make a file ready for 3d print after that. Also, I don't have CAD. Any advice? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

[@hikimjess]

JUST WHAT I NEEDED, thank you!

[@oswuldleofricvivadirr3839]

i need to do the same but in reverse i have a hieght map but i need it as a texture image for unreal engine how do i do that

[@GrayveRoseMusic]

Pretty good but I think you contrasted and washed out the roundness of the rocks too much to where they became too flat on top compared to the source texture

[@Fellow_Traveller1985]

Yes, they have a plateau like shape instead of round.

[@hardwire666too]

This only works in PS 22.2 and below. Adobe has abandoned the 3D features.

[@edbrown7745]

mate, the stones are all the same height

[@stevensilcock]

Can you still export as .tga from Photoshop? I just installed a trial version & it has no Save As option for .tga, only png.

[@jetkrazee]

Great tutorial! Can the height map be saved from within photoshop as a STL?

[@Infamous-El-Guapo]

Did it work? That's what I'm trying to do now

[@ahmedfariszzss4650]

Where is hight map used in 3dsmad ior or bump or glossiness or oposity Tel meplease

[@dawidwyborski3753]

but this stones are still flat on the top.

[@ivankarell]

Hi Good Sir, does this work on lumion? i dont know why it looks distorted and doesnt work. is it exclusively for max?

[@philosophyfrog2653]

How would I go about creating a height map in zbrush for a seamless texture? I already done all the other maps.

[@TomSidProductions]

I've noticed that since 2020+, the 3d filters (normal and bump) have been completely bugged. They freeze up photoshop and glitch the interface. Anyone else had this issue?

[@bambina5604]

Yup, me, every freaking time.

[@Nonskiller]

So it's just creating lights. Got it. I thought it was Heat-Based (Hot and Cold)

[@Anivia85]

perfect. thank you

[@WiseIsAwesome]

what happened on 6:57? how did you save the result?

[@tweakxxx]

He save nothing the 3D he show in Photoshop for preview only.

[@EdgeSky]

Trying to make a parallax texture for skyrim but damn, It's so difficult to make a good height maps.

[@dreamsprayanimation]

It is indeed quite challenging especially considering there is a difference between height and displacement.

[@sasiimparatorlugu6355]

You didn't show us how to transfer the 3D picture.....

[@ahmedfariszzss4650]

Aren't u using vray

[@ahmedfariszzss4650]

Are normal map and height map are same or different pls reply thnk u.

[@GameDevMan]

They are not the same. A normal map fakes the illusion of detail but can be see to be fake when close, a height map is used to tessalate the geomatry giving the model real detail.

[@ahmedfariszzss4650]

@@GameDevMan thnk u.. Helped lot to understand

[@TomSidProductions]

Normal maps react to lighting at all angles to better fake the depth.

[@jeremiequeyras9653]

Super helpful thank you

[@jesse8068]

Great stuff! Thank you for this!

[@xdonnamonsterx]

what version of photoshop are you using? i dont have Filter-> 3D option in photoshop cs5.1 What is the alternative?

[@Snikabarz]

you have to use photoshop CC

[@chrisharvey7461]

they dont seem to work in Unity, they pull the edges of a painted map to show white

[@raymondstpaul4913]

How would I transfer this to Lightwave 3D 2018 software?

[@dancingpickleproductions7772]

They got rid of it :(

[@yuishirou]

very easy to understand, thanks!

[@IANNEIL77]

Spot on Subbed

[@josephselensky2302]

went way to fast when you were on 3d max

[@SuperSayiyajin]

Thanks a lot

[@amadopascua2469]

Great!

[@ludodegroote3783]

Can't you speak slowly I understood 30% from that jibbrish

[@Duckers_McQuack]

Photoshop doesn't support 3d anymore.

[@AA-hg7xq]

Slow down

[@Haseeb6235]

like this

[@petertremblay3725]

Lot of work for mediocre result! You should use the rock generator script and use the ribbon paint geometry and then bake the displacement at least you will have a good result instead of this. Nobody can make decent displacement from picture to this day.

[@unlikeaboss]

Wow PS
