When we used imagemagick v7.0.4-1 on Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz, 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9-9-9-24, it took total of **2h 52min** to stitch 40960 x 40960 satellite together from 10 x 10 mosaic pieces. | When we used imagemagick v7.0.4-1 on Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz, 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9-9-9-24, it took total of **2h 52min** to stitch 40960 x 40960 satellite together from 10 x 10 mosaic pieces. | ||

Use low values on perlin noise brush. When done add some smooth brush on top of it to remove the most rugged elevations. Important: use low numbers, don't go crazy with large numbers as that easily ruins your heightmap. | Use low values on perlin noise brush.

+ | ====== Mask to Texture ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create new project with blank heightmap matching your real heightmap size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | File -> import -> attributes map -> import from color map. Choose your satellite mask image, PNG would be nice. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Assign climates and land types in land type color table. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Operations -> texture map -> generate map. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Sapphire Teleport ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Position menu or T key allows you to teleport into locations in sapphire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can save and type in locations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the heightfield view you can double click on the heightmap to get coordinates and height info popup. | ||

+ | ====== Sapphire Performance ====== | ||

+ | L3DT -> extensions -> sapphire -> hardware settings -> 1gb. This should in theory, not confirmed, not sure, improve 3D performance. | ||

+ | Tested on v18.08 Pro x64 dev build 1. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Settings -> Multi-thread settings -> core count manual override. This will not save across program restarts, it always seems to revert back to 8 threads then you tick it and use values of 9 or larger. | ||
