Anybody know how to take terragen *.raw files and import them into POV?
I guess you would have to convert them to a *TGA file, anybody know of a
good conversion program?

 If Terragen's .raw format is the one I think it is it should be possible
to conver from .raw to POV-Ray's internal triangle format using a conversion
utility such as 3DWin of Crossroads.

3DWin - http://www.stmuc.com/thbaier/

Crossroads - http://www.europa.com/~keithr/crossroads/


The terrain modeller Leveller has direct import support for Terragen
.ter files - http://www.daylongraphics.com/  which then can be exported
to .tga height field images.

There is another program called Forester that some capabilities for
using Terragen and POV-Ray but I forget what the relationship is off
had. Find out more here - http://www.dartnall.f9.co.uk/

You can use Paint Shop Pro 6.02 adn save it as a bmp, or png or any file
A *.raw file by Terragen is a heightfield...

I am so used to dealing with the .raw 3D geometry file format it didn't
occur to me that Terragen was using the .raw image file format. Good
catch Bugs.
