High!

A recent thread on p.b.i. drew my attention to http://www.buining.com - 
those 16-bit PNG elevation maps of Earth, the Moon and Mars look 
tempting! But AFAIK PoV-Ray's height_field functionality can't handle 
grayscale 16-bit PNGs... are there any tool for conversion into 16-bit 
heightfield TGAs available? Or at least into ordinary uncompressed 
32-bit TGAs, so I could write a converting routine on my own... perhaps 
I should take a closer look at the latest version of IrfanView?

See you on www.khyberspace.de!
