That's the hardest : you'll have to make them.
Have you well understood that the whitest the pixel of the image is, the 
highest the heigh_field?
A simple solution is to run a paint software and  use a blurred brush to 
paint clear zones on a black background.
Then save your image and use it as image for your height_field.
You'll have to follow a try and error way I guess

So.. with the image, black background and white blurred brush?

If possible, can anyone give me an example of the image? :)

Thanks

Here is a very fast done example... put the image in the same folder as the 
.pov file

Marc

camera {
  location  <-2, 0.5, -4.0>*.6
  direction 1.5*z
  right     x*image_width/image_height
  angle 100
  look_at   <-.4, 0.5,  0.0>
}

sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient y
    color_map {
      [0.0 rgb <0.6,0.7,1.0>]
      [0.7 rgb <0.0,0.1,0.8>]
    }
  }
}

light_source {
  <0, 0, 0>            // light's position (translated below)
  color rgb <1, 1, 1>  // light's color
  translate <-30, 30, -30>
}

// ----------------------------------------
#declare P_Rock = pigment { color rgb <1,0.3,0.1>}
plane {
  y, 0
  pigment {P_Rock} }


// uses image color index as height, extends along X-Z axes
// from <0 0 0> to <1 1 1>
height_field {
  png               // the file type to read (tga/pot/pgm/ppm/png/sys)
  "new-1.png"
     // the file name to read
smooth
 pigment {P_Rock}
 translate <-.5,-.02,-.5>
 scale <5,1,5>
}

You can find a quickie demo in the scenes directory (a collection of 
examples to study/play with) that is installed with POV-Ray.  Look for 
crater.pov and crater_dat.pov in the objects directory.  Read the 
comments at the beginning of crater.pov for the instructions on 
rendering this example -- you have to render crater_dat first.

This is prety advanced stuff, and, as it makes heavy use of randomness, it's 
harn do acheive specific results.
