Heightmaps?

I’m playing with the basic edition of WM2 to try it out and see if its suitable for a project I’m working on.

I construct terrain maps based on real-world GPS tracks. I turn these tracks into gray scale masks that are meant to represent terrain and height. With some software I have, I’m able to turn these into very simple stylized terrain maps. I’d like to use these gray scale masks as heightmap inputs, but…I have no idea what a heightmap is to WM2, nor how to input it into WM2 as a “hint” for how it should draw terrains.

Any suggestions as to where to look or how I might do this?

You mean WM shows your heightmap as a flat greyscale image rather than as a terrain?
Right-click on the File input device -> Set device display hint -> Terrain
