Public Sticky notes
1. Import the DEM into a program called Landserf. You can download it here. NOTE: DO NOT use Internet Explorer to download Landserf. I have no idea why, but by default, Internet Explorer converts .jar files to .zip archives, and renaming doesn't work, so this will pretty much destroy your installation file. There are other programs available that will convert DEMs, such as 3DEM, but I've never used them.
2. Export to a .RAW format.
3. Import the .RAW in Photoshop.
4. Convert to grayscale mode (Image/Mode/Grayscale.)
5. Convert to RGB Color. (Image/Mode/RGB Color)
6. Export as a 24-bit bitmap.
7. Import the bitmap into Sandbox.
The result won't be overly spectacular by itself, but it's a good starting point. There will be some jaggedness, but this can be corrected with a Modify/Smooth Slope in the terrain editor. Then, after some optimization with Sandbox's terrain modification tools, you will have a truly breathtaking terrain. It's not a good way to create islands, since most DEMs cover a wide area, but large landmasses will be no problem.
