OMG A BLITZER! OUT I SAY!

there are functions to convert a height map to a matrix that users have made, in the code base, there are about 5 or so
I havent tried them yet though i am going to this xmas break
why wouldnt you use paint for a heightmap?

dbc/dbp? in dbp, checkout the "terrain" command set, they are pretty limiting but do what you say, however it'd be better to code your own function to do this with matrices. dbc doesn't have the "terrain" commands

terrain commands in DBP at the moment are quite pointless. There is a snippet in the codebase to adjust a matrix according to a height map.
