Question about heightmap usage

Hello.
i was wondering if I am allowed to get a height map off google and use that. i would credit the original author of course.
is this a copyright issue?
thanks

probably not an issue..but why not create your own..its reaaaaaaaalllly easy..i can create one for you if you need me to..just mention my name if you decide to release a map with the heightmap i created for you

 

Can you make me a heightmap? I need one for Alaskan Paradise. I don't want to waste my time making mountains by hand, but I don't know how to make a heightmap. You would be credited.

 

if i knew how to create a canyon height map i would. i can create others though.
thanks for the replys and advice

I will make you one and send it to you tomorrow

 

I can generate some height maps with textures if anyone needs it. I use L3DT mostly so it's not the best but they still look nice.

 

Okay, make sure it has tons of mountains, and a little flat area, also think 1k by 1k.

 

OK, sounds doable. Give me 24 hours (perfection cannot be rushed ) I'll PM it to you ASAP.

Make that 48 hours
