Hi, this is the wrong newsgroup for this topic, it is for
discussing the programming of POV-Ray itself. Appropriate
groups would be povray.newusers or povray.general.

Anyway, you need

1. A tool to convert DEM file to a supported image format,
    TGA or 16-bit PNG would be ok.

2. The height_field object to import an elevation
    map as a geometric object. This is common, you
    should find tons of sample scenes.

3. Change the camera from the normal perspective
    type to panoramic (see 3.3.1.2.6 in the docs).
