I was wondering if in superpatch, is there a way to make it output the
HF_GRAY_16 file, from a pattern type Height Field, so that in animations the
parsing time could be cut down on?

Thanks,
T'vakah

Not as such, but you could easily create a scene to do that even using the
official POV.  Just create a scene with an orthographic camera and a plane
containing the pattern you wish to use and render it at the appropriate
resolution.
