Hi there,

the RAW-FP32 format is, as its name indicates, a raw format, and is possibly the simplest you can get.

There is no header information; it is essentially a straight memory dump of the 32bit floating point values of the heightfield, from left to right and bottom to top.

For 16bit, the terragen .ter format is not too complicated and is described here: http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/dev/tgterrain.html
