Very cool!  But how do you export these to Pov-Ray?

John, I have NOT played with this new toy yet.  I will over the weekend and
should have a new tutorial on it soon.  You might want to email Kai
Brodersen about how to export the file to POV.

From my understand of the website.

terrain import/export - Terragen can import and export raw heightfield
information in 8-bit greyscale (and soon 16-bit). Possible uses include the
construction of terrains from externally created pictures. Terragen can also
save terrains as Lightwave LWO files, and files compatible with the 'Import
Binary' feature in VistaPro.

I take it that you export the scene file as a Lightwave file.  If this is
the case you will need to also grab the 3DWIN4 from here:

http://www.ldraw.org/download/win/3dwin

This program will convert the LIGHTWAVE file into POV.  After that it's a
matter of cut and paste into your POV model file.  I promise to within the
next 3 weeks get a tutorial on this out.

Sorry, but I don't know what to do after that.  I sent all the resulting inc
files to the include folder, but when I render, the render window is all
black.  Now what?
