my question is, i have someone heightmaps was wondering what program i can use to make it into a terrain, can unity do this??
What format are the heightmaps? If they are in raw format, you can just load them into Unity using the terrain settings, though they should be square and power of two plus one in size. (e.g., 513x513, 1025x1025, etc.)

they are png
You could load them into Photoshop and save them out as raw, though that’s not ideal since they’ll only be 8-bit and not 16-bit.

can gimp save them as raw. if i find ones that is 16bit, or is there a way to take a 8bit to 16bit
I don’t use Gimp, but you could try this.

thanks, ill give it a try
i figured it out, how to do it with gimp
I decided to use the same post, instead of creating a new one. The heightmap i have is 1024 by 1024. My question is when i create a terrain then import the heightmap as raw, what would i set the width and height to as well as the terrain size. Would i set the with and height as the same size of the heightmap, which would be 1024 by 1024. as for the terrain size its set to 2000 600 2000 which is way to large. would 512 600 512 work.
