Top-Down Terrain Height Maps

It converts a top-down terrain image into two image outputs: a top-down view and a grayscale image. In the grayscale output, brightness represents elevation, making it suitable for displacement data and Unreal Engine landscapes.

It is useful for people working with game landscapes, terrain-focused art, and film or entertainment planning. The outputs provide both a top-down terrain reference and a grayscale elevation representation.

Prepare a top-down terrain image as the Source Image input. The recipe is designed around that viewpoint, so an image showing terrain from above is the appropriate starting point.

The saved example produces a Top-Down View and a Grayscale Image. The grayscale result represents elevation through brightness, while the top-down view provides the paired terrain image output.

Yes. Source Image is the exposed editable input, so you can replace it in Fuser with your own top-down terrain image. The saved page shows a default example rather than a live run.

No. It produces image outputs: a top-down view and a grayscale height map. The grayscale image is described as displacement data suitable for Unreal Engine landscapes, but the recipe itself does not output a 3D landscape.

You can change the exposed Source Image input in Fuser. No other editable inputs are listed for this recipe, so customization is centered on the terrain image you provide.
