Terrain question

Is it possible load a Heightmap image and save the Terrain as a .X file. Is it any code available?

Thanks

That would be a 'mesh terrain'. There are several ways to create them. I found these after a quick search:

There might be more, I didn't search thoroughly.
To save the mesh, I think you need to use one of the SaveMesh routines in the archives. In that case, I would use the second link, since that one creates the terrain as a single mesh.
For exporters, look at this thread:
