About This Demo

DEMO
Welcome to the Height Lab Demo store page! The demo is just like the full version, except it imbeds the Height Lab logo into the height and normal map, and only saves to JPG. Try it out to see if it's the right solution for you!

OVERVIEW
Design height maps using expressions. When done, export the height map, auto generated normal map, or both.


Height Lab is good for creating height maps, normal maps, brushes/stamps (normal and height), particles, and masks. These are good for: games, simulators, 2D and 3D paint programs, shader effects, and various unique transition effects.

FEATURES
  • Expression can be broken up into layers.
  • Preview changes live.
  • Quality of life Undo/Redo and Shortcut Keys.
  • Includes examples.
  • Layers can be enabled/disabled, and soloed for single layer viewing.
  • Multiple height maps can be designed in a single project.
  • Custom variables can be created and used in expressions.
  • Built in functions for: sphere, cone, donut, pyramid, and sweep.
  • Viewport area for previewing the height map in 2D and 3D.
  • Height map can be animated in both u and v directions.
  • Height map can be "dissolved" from top to bottom.
  • Supported output types are: height map (including normalized) and normal map (GL and/or D3D).
  • Supported Output for the demo: JPG
  • The output size can be powers of two from 32x32 all the way up to 4096x4096.

PREREQUISITE
You'll need to know some math and a little trigonometry to get the most out of Height Lab. If you've written shaders before, then Height Lab should be a breeze to pick up since some of the concepts are the same.
