Assign your terrain types to your terrain maps as per video (pick the ones you want, you might notice I changed the mud to dirt when mud looked crap.

Import your heightmap and terrain maps (use the same metres per pixel as used when generating it, or it'll be a different size - set the height as you want it, but you can always change it - you want to get it right now though, as once you have roads/trees etc, you can't change it so easily.)Ĩ. Then load up BeamNG and your level from HighDef's templateħ. (You can also use images with the roads in white - I overlay a map on QGIS and then paint over the top - this will make road laying lots easier).Ħ. These will tell Beam where to paint the different terrains, saving you the trouble. Then turn each of these to binary black/white with your favourite method and save as separate PNGs, named GRASS or ROCK, etc. take all the grass (I use select by colour) and paste into a different layer or image.

Separate the colours of the Attribute Map by terrain type. Get HighDef's Loaded Template Map from the repositoryĬreate a Heightmap (if you have one already, make sure it is 2048x2048 or less, 512 or 1024 work, and import into LD3t) as in video (use whatever settings you like, but get it to create an Attributes Map too (pick a climate similar to the map style you want).Ĥ.Export the Heightmap and Attribute map as PNGs to your level folder, or a folder in your level folder (e.g. If you have questions, feel free to ask, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to help. This isn't a hand-holding tutorial, more a demonstration. I usually speed up the video when it is boring, but you can play it slowly if you want to copy anything.

I have also added a rainy version that makes the roads wet, and the ambiance 10x better. New map! This is called The Long Road which aims to bring The Long Drive to BeamNG!
