Height Mapping with The Gimp

[Geomoo1]

For those who use the free program Gimp (www.gimp.org) for height mapping patterns I have adapted a chart showing the CarveWright tool height and corresponding Gimp color value and HTML codes. I used the tool height chart that was posted on this forum a while back as a basis for mine. Eddie (eelamb) posted the original but I sure hope you don't mind my additions to your very handy chart. I know you spent a lot of time composing it and am in no way taking credit for it. Just a few additions that I thought might help the Gimp users...

Is there a tutorial out there for height mapping? Been trying on my own and not been very successful with it.

Here are the Gimp tutorials on height mapping... https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...ping+task&sm=1

I downloaded them so I would have access to them even if my connection is down and I need a quick reference from one of the videos.

Here is another video that might be of interest to you... http://www.cncmodelclub.com/free-cnc...in-gimp-2-8-2/

Geomooq1,

Am I right in assuming that the color value for .23 and .24 should be 8 and 4, not 80 and 40?

Thanks Eddie and Geo,this chart will be very helpful to me.

George, your chart is a great tool for the forum members. I have no problem with you post the information. If either help the CW community then we have made a step forward.

ridgecrest, you are correct. They should indeed be 8 and 4. It seems the program I was using decided I needed a zero after the 8 and 4 for some reason. It has been corrected.
