Buldozer terrain looks like lego blocks, where did i go wrong ?

Hey all,

Does anyone know where i went wrong with my terrain ? In Buldozer it looks like a lego block map

I used L3DT to create my terrain.xyz if that helps.

Try exporting it as an .asc, TB also imports these, just drag'n'drop the file into TB.

 

Don't know if it will fix your issue, but it's worth a pop incase the xyz is borked :)

I chose another location and that worked fine, then went back to my original island and it's still b0rked.

I guess i just got unlucky, the island i chose had dodgy data.

If anything else fails, you can try my method importing PBL into visitor 3, export as PEW and import that into TB instead. Works flawlessly for me, since applications I work with does not support .xyz (I prefer heightmap images anyway and this allows me to do quick Buldozer previews inside visitor after editing it in photoshop). Make sure to use 16bit heightmap and not 8bit, either png or tga, since jpg might damage your map due to high compression.

 

Code from video:

class cfg
{
PNGfilename="terrain.png";
squareSize=2.500000;
originX=0;
originY=0;
minHeight=-100.000000;
maxHeight=500.000000;
};
