Have you been looking for how to create 3d grayscale depth/height map images? In this tutorial video I'll be showing you exactly how I create my 3d depth maps in Blender from any object or 3d model and have them come out perfect everytime. The process only requires a few simple steps which anyone can follow along with even if you aren't familiar with Blender. Blender is completely free to use which makes this process ideal as there isn't any special paid programs to download. Once your heightmaps are created, you can easily share them on sites like 3dgrayscale.com and even make money selling them if you wish. The height/depth maps are then able to be used directly for 3D modeling, laser engraving, CNC machining and more. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

If you'd like to see something made or designed, leave a comment and let me know. Also, make sure to Subscribe and ring the bell so you don't miss any new videos.

Hey everyone, so I’ve been asked by a ton of people how I create my height maps so I decided to put out this tutorial which hopefully will help a lot of you out. Now there are programs out there that can do this for you but most are paid and/or are limited to what you can do. With Blender though, it’s completely free and very easy to setup. I hope this helps some of you out and I’ll see you all in the next one! 👍🏻

Is it possible to make a height map from a 3D image? From an AI 3D image using this method

This was a great tutorial!! I made my 1st height map today using blender for the 1st time. Thank you!

This is great, do you have a .blend available with your compositor set up?
@ernstalbrigtsen9419 21 days ago

So you can't just extract the ZBuffer from the GPU, like in Rhino? It takes a second.
