Height map issues

ArmorPaint 0.8-7466fc1, Windows

Hey there, I have some issues with the Height map in paint layers:

• The resulting height map does not take into account the opacity/hardness settings of the brush, making the map always having opaque values from materials on painted parts;
• The Eraser doesn't erase the height map, instead it paints on it (but works on other maps);
• The preview in the 3D viewport doesn't match with the preview on the 2D view, seems that the map is updated internally but not in the 2D view, and not in the exported texture? (For example, when I erase in the 3D viewport I got the correct results, but the 2D view of the height map is false since erased parts got painted, and the exported texture is false too...)

Thanks for support!

Finally found a workaround to this issue. Since the height map got painted even with the eraser, I need to export both height map and opacity map and blend them manually in a software like Gimp with the Multiply blend operator... This gave me the good results for the height map.

@luboslenco I think it should be better if ArmorPaint do it himself right?

It is more a hack than an actual solution but at least you can avoid switching programs:

1. Paint your height map and your opacity map.
2. Create a new material which looks like this or similar
3. Now fill a second layer (set uv scale to 1 and opacity to 1)
