I'm 16, and I love doing game art. I prefer art to anything else, I don't have the patience for most coding, and I haven't bothered to learn much of 3DsX. I hope to have gamedev of some sort as a career in the future..

Dont use a normal map as the heightmap, also discard the normal map that geocontrol kicks out, its useless spread out over the whole terrain tbh.Export a Tif heightmap from geocontrol and then convert to 16bit png
