I've been working on a map of the Suez Canal area for a while. Learning how to remove surf from inland waterways did a lot to improve the look on this. But I have also been trying to find a method that would allow the making of embankments or levees alongside the sides of a waterway or canal.
The Suez Canal would look better if there were higher levees alongside the waterway. Nothing very prominent, but just enough to notice in game.
I have not however been able to find a way of heightening the height map evenly for this idea.
It's not hard outlining the area to raise, but how to heighten it evenly along the whole course of the canal? Filling with one particular RGB value won't do, this needs an elevation that is in proportion to the elevation of the surrounding terrain ...
Any ideas would be welcome....
