    Sorry for the question that has probably been asked 1,000 times.
    How do I convert my existing .bmp and .png files to .raw so that I can use them as a heightmap in Unity?

    You can use this instead of converting, though you should really try to use native 16-bit raw files instead of using other formats, because otherwise you only have 8-bit vertical resolution.

    Thank you for this. I tried this earlier and had an error. You are just the man to answer it :D
    The error is that I have to make the height map "isReadable". I see no place to make the file readable. Please help
    Here is a screenshot:
