How do i convert Terragen files into a format useable as a POV height field?
I guess this means .ter file to .tga?
Thanks,
Tim

Unfortunately I don't know of a direct conversion route. The program
Leveller - http://www.daylongraphics.com/ - can import .ter files and
export to POV-Ray but it is a roundabout method of getting there.

You can try HCREdit by fellow Pover Christof Hormann.
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0013390/
Export the terrain file as RAW 16 bits, Intel byte-order, write down the
size (default is 257 x 257)
Import it in HCREdit as RAW, same size, skip header size 1 (otherwise it's
just snow), 16 bit grayscale
Save as PNG 16 bits for use in POV-Ray
You'll have to reverse it scale <1,1,-1> translate z
To get an exact result you'll have to note the exact size and height of the
terrain in TG and scale it accordingly in POV-Ray.
(disclaimer : this is fresh knowledge as I discovered all this a couple of
hours ago !)

You can try "wilbur", though I had some problems with it.
A perfect job does "forester" by Stephen Dartnall. It is not free, but it is
the only program capable of reproducing the exact camera settings as in
terragen.

What do you use to generate the Terragen file? Terragen? WorldMachine?

I am using Terragen to generate the files.
Thanks,

I think that there are some Terragen plugins that export to POV-Ray's
special TGA format.

Firmament v1.6 - http://www.mclusky.co.uk/firmament/ - will allow the user
to 'import' .tga files, but not export...
There are various RAW formats allowed for exporting to, as well as a windows
bmp format (with For Export Only,
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~jomeder/feo/index.html)... Take a stab with
those perhaps...
