ntkirby Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I posted this also in the SideFX forums... I've been searching for a way to convert the maps I download, MicroDEM produces memory leaks, PullSDTS is no where to be found.... I'm trying to convert these maps to images to use to create terrain Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papicrunch Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Do you try openev or fwtools to convert dem into image ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybernetix Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 dunno if anyone found a solution for to this, but this looks promising: https://www.flipswitchingmonkey.com/2015/04/houdini-dealing-with-digital-elevation-model-dem-data/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Here is an example file I found on this forum a while back that shows how to use a greyscale DEM image for terrain. The image is brought into COPs network and there is an example of drawing a new plateau on top of the original DEM then feed that to SOPs for final generation. The red scattering is another feature of this file. You can scatter objects based upon DEM slope value. I also wrote a python based DEM reader for Moon data that can be found by clicking on the link in my signature. ap_DEM_based_terrain.hipnc Edited June 25, 2016 by Atom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
