Hello John,

I didn't bother to watch the 14 minute video, just the first 43 seconds, so forgive me if I do not answer your question or speak out of line.

Thus, if you are looking to import real world height maps, there should be a tool in Course Forge to allow you to do this.  Pretty cool, huh.

It should be a state of the art tool probably worth $500 or more, but possibly given with C.F.

If this was not your question, then I apologize.
