There were complaints that there was no video tutorial about how2map for ZK, so here i've made a crappy and silent video that shows my mapping workflow, or at least, one version thereof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHzrftvQN0E&feature=youtu.be

The whole process here takes one hour, but this assumes you have this set of prerequisites before you can start working:

1) The heightmap export from SpringBoard seems to cause an annoying edge-of-map wall issue that i've never seen before today. Oh well.

2) If you use heightmap export on Windows, you'll have a 8-bit grayscale file. You can solve this by reexporting from blender (rendering using the heightmap material). This will however further rescale your heighmap altitudes.

3) Yeah, heightmap altitudes seem to also not be that consistent. Exporting from springboard and recompiling seems to change water level!

4) You need to remember to edit feature collision volumes because the features (which i took from SpringFeatures) have extremely crappy default values. And 0 metal and energy.

For
me,
SpringBoard
texture
export
fails
to
export
the
diffuse
texture.
This
is
not
a
problem
in
this
case
because
i'm
using
it
to
only
edit
heightmap
and
features
anyway.

newer

the

That said, 1h shitty rush job is 1h shitty rush job. Now you can see how crap maps like Glacies are done.
