Heightfield Operators
Heightfield Operators are a unique set of nodes which operate solely on Heightfield data. Certain operations cannot be performed on non-heightfield terrains and other shaders.
Heightfield Operators[edit]
A heightmap or heightfield is an array of height values, usually in a grid which describe the height at specific points in a defined area. Heightfields are used to represent real-world and virtual terrain in a specific, easily converted format. Most heightfields can be represented as simple image data in grayscale, with black being minimum height and white being maximum height.
