Is there a filter which let’s you make a height map out of you black and white drawing ?
Heightmap needs to have smooth gradient between B & W.
I’m not sure what you mean by a heightmap.
Could you provide some kind of expected results from an input, to see if this is possible ?
For example this would be the expected results. There are white and black areas with soft gradient between.
That looks a bit like what some filters in the Rendering/ section can do (e.g. Plasma).
I don’t know how to do before.
If I understood you correctly, it looks like you showed two resulting heightmaps, but not the drawings they came from.
I guess because there are no inputs at all. The OP wants a filter to render something like this from scratch.
I have made outline with airbrush but there are hard edges between B&W. I tried with the Plasma pattern but when I desaturate it doesn’t look like organical as heightmap shown.
Is it possible to use some filter to create that soft tones between white and black colors to look more natural as heightmap ?
I don’t know how they came to be.
Please check if it is gaussian blur what you are searching for. Use a large radius such as 50 or more.
I think a little more description is needed. In virtual reality environments like Second Life, a heightmap is used to make the 3d terrain. It’s a grayscale one-channel image where each pixel value represents an altitude. In the scene render, a plane geometry is deformed according to the heightmap, and then another image is draped over the deformed plane to give it color and texture.
Here’s a heightmap:
