Gaea EAP Getting a height map as a mesh in various softwares @cowsmanaut

You can of course just load it as a displacement map on a plane, but if you want the mesh for some reason, and Gaea still hasn't provided the mesh output (trust me, coming soon). Here are some options using World Machine, Zbrush, or Texture deformers in maya.

Keep in mind, you can pause and replay any portion of this video if I speak a bit too fast. I was trying to keep it short and sweet.. and I'm sure this particular video will be redundant in the near future anyway :D

$vue 10.5 MDK in terrains This Video talks about using Quadspinners MDK 1.1 in procedural terrains instead of just as a bump or displacement on objects. Ive put a few things for people new to Vue.. but I expect this will be most useful to intermediate users ..If youre not aware of the MDK set, go to the quadspinner store, its really reasonably priced.. just a few dollars for some really great tools. Besides the element of the use of the MDK I talk about about the rocky mountain fractal a little to get a good base, and blending of multiple fractal nodes using the blender. I also run though a solution to a bug when pressing undo in the node editor. Hope you enjoy Just a side note.. this was done at work and so there are some pauses where people came in to ask questions. but I think its barely noticable :)$
