Has anyone tried Wilbur? It's a heightfield generator.

http://www.fracterra.com/software.html

I can't seem to get the Wavefront OBJ to export properly. The outputted 
files all have only one value used for elevation. Has anyone tried 
exporting to OBJ before?

Thanks!


Mike

Or, does anyone know of a program that can convert one of these formats:

to Wavefront OBJ or STL?

POV-Ray! The obj format is just text:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file

You could write a POV script that outputs vertices and faces to an obj file, and
have Blender take care of other things like normal calculation and mesh
reduction.

It turns out that the latest version of Wilbur is just buggy. I rolled 
back to an older version and the output worked fine.
