Higher resolution grey-scale height map

[Matt Henke]

I have worldengine installed on my Mac, and it works mostly beautifully well.

I've used it to generate a map (2000x1000) that I'd like to have a much higher resolution heightmap (say, 8000x4000). 

After looking around a bit, I think the best option might be to use GDAL tools to output a higher quality. I cannot get this to work, though. 

Has anyone had luck with getting GDAL to work with World Engine? I get the following error:

"MacBook:~ matt$ /Users/matt/Maps/worldengine -o /Users/matt/Maps/Generated --sat -q 50 -x 2000 -y 1000 -r --gs --scatter

Unable to load GDAL support, no heightmap export possible.

 Or does anyone have a better idea than this?

Hey buddy,

When I created my 'GUI' for WorldEngine 18 months or so ago (http://github.com/Shando/WorldEngine_UI_Win64), I allowed a World Size of up to 8192x8192, so it is definitely possible.

From what I can see in my code, the export is carried out via __init__.py in the imex folder, which, in turn, use gdal & ogr.
