A nice way to make height maps

Get this free tool called Nem's Mage 3D Terrain Generator, It is mainly used with the half life modding scene, but it also allows the exportation of height maps, that are the perfect size anyways, here is the link have fun

Also to actually get the height map, sculpt your terrain in 3D. after you get it the way you want. Goto File>Export>Heightmap then it'll save it as a 65x65 Bitmap I think you have to screw around in the options to make it an 8bit bmp. so just messaround with it and have fun
