Another quick test...

This time, I saved the MOLA stuff out of 3DEM as a TER file and loaded that into GeoControl 2.2.  I did a 4096 generated terrain in that and exported a 16-bit hightmap TIF file.  I applied the TIF to the Proc (altitude) function of a fractal terrain and got this (again, I had to eyeball the re-sizing).  It's not as good as the DEM file because it went through a 16-bit TIF funnel to get to Vue.  But it is still better than nothing.

NOTE: Maybe adjusting the high in GeoControl frist before exporting the ITF will give Vue more depth to work with?
