Create color map in one click:
Go to File>Create>Patterns>Land
Customise parameters, choose the gradient
('Land 1' by default, but you can create your own)
and press [OK] - color map is done!
Create height map in one click:
First, you have to select black/white gradient.
Go to File>Create>Patterns>Flatland
Customise parameters, and press [OK] - height map is done!
!!! ATTENTION all the parameters of 'Flatland' generator have to be same as in 'Land' generator: image width/height, randome seed, detail level, scale X/Y.
Only this way the colormap fit the heightmap.
If you can't reach the maps compatibility:
1. Check each of parameters, maybe missed something.
2. Or press [Reset] and try again.
