Height maps are used to store values such as terrain elevation for the use in 3D computer graphics and/or game development (bump mapping, displacement mapping, cloud opacity, fractal noise, etc.).

Heightmaps come in two forms: grayscale and color.
Grayscale heightmap's are visualized as luma of grayscale (black to white) with black representing the lowest elevations of the terrain and white the highest elevations (peaks).
Color height map's are visualized through a color gradient (blue to white) with blue being the lowest height and white the highest.

Heighmap Maker is a tool for creating random and semi-random grayscale and color height maps and 3D terrain previews. There are advanced controls with parameter and seed settings that provide more control for generating noise and heightmaps. The app has a minimal and clean interface which is very easy to use. You can choose the type of the height map and the output size of the generated map and image. The generated 2D height map output can be previewed in 3D for a rough estimate how the generated map can look as a 3D generated terrain.
For 3D terrain geometry preview, Heightmap Maker requires OpenGL ES 3.0 hardware support in order to create potentially highly detailed 3d terrains with basic zoom in/out, dynamic light on/off, and field of view controls.

Higher output values generate more detailed and complex images.
Generating maps can be very taxing* on the user's device. The higher the value of the output size the more processing and memory resources are needed for generating an image.
You can save and share the generated images. All images are stored in the PNG format.

Heightmap Maker requires these permissions:
The permission to write on the device's external storage (memory card) for saving images;
The permission to access the network state - App rating, 'Share App' function, Ad's and crash reporting.

* On lower-end devices, choosing an higher output value for the generated image can sometimes lead to a long period of waiting for the app to finish generating an image preview or even the app crashing due to it reaching it's memory limit for the device. Choosing an lower output value for the generated image is the best solution for those devices.

Download Heightmap Maker and start creating your new 2D and 3D maps.
