I will have to say i dont think anybody understands what you are asking/claiming/suggesting. You should really have somebody proof read it for you so people can easily understand what you are trying to say :smile:

I believe he’s talking about heightmaps in JPEG format should be supported in the world builder also.

Yeah it makes quite good sense after he made that edit :smiley:

Isn’t it simple to convert the JPEGs to PNGs?

(We use PNGs because it’s a lossless format, whereas JPEGs are lossy. This means that with JPEGs you lose visual detail in the saving process. This means that with PNGs the heightmap will match the PNG perfectly.)

Yea I meant GIMP for those who want to stay legal :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Honestly, you want to avoid JPEG even if the world builder did support it.

JPEG compression is going to introduce subtle and confusing artifacts into your noise functions. Even small changes can result in many blocks worth of weirdness in the generated world. You might need to smooth over artifacts from images converted to PNG, as well.

You necro’d a 1 year old thread to post the same thing that had been said no fewer than 3 times already? Did you not even read the thread?
