Calculating the correct "Desired Height" based off Google maps data

[Adamsapplespie]

Hello, I'm making a post here regarding the best way to generate 1:1 scale Google Maps terrain portions which I am taking from Render Doc/Blender as obj files, and bringing them into Minecraft via ObjToSchematic.

Specifically, my question is how does the "Desired Height" parameter work? Is it assigning the number of blocks to scale the height axis of your voxelized model? If so, is this height measured based off the lowest and highest mesh vertices within the obj file itself?

Further info about this would help me better calculate the right scaling to apply to my terrain chunks.

Is it assigning the number of blocks to scale the height axis of your voxelized model? If so, is this height measured based off the lowest and highest mesh vertices within the obj file itself?

Yes and yes. The maximum height is 320 blocks as that's the height of a Minecraft world. If you're know the height of your mesh in metres then that should be your desired height as each Minecraft block is supposed to be 1m. Although I'm assuming your meshes are going to be larger than 320m?

Sounds good! As for making meshes larger than 320m, this would only be in length and width. I'm looking forward to any further optimizations you can make for processing larger obj files :)
