heightfield 1.0

Introduction

heightfield is a simple tool to generate a heightfield from a texture and make images like the ones below. The tool generates a complete standalone appleseed scene.

appleseed 1.1.0 alpha-22-preview-3 or later is required to render the generated scene. You can find releases of appleseed in the Releases page on GitHub.

Instructions

1. Unzip the package somewhere.
2. Place a PNG image called heightfield.png into the data directory.
3. Run heightfield (on Windows, simply double-click on heightfield.exe from the Explorer).
4. Start appleseed.studio.
5. Open the heightfield.appleseed scene from the output directory.

The package comes with a sample heightfield.png image, so to get started you can simply run the tool, open the scene in appleseed.studio and start rendering in seconds.

Please post your renders to the appleseed forum!
