Just wanted to ask if anyone else would find it helpful to have a multi-threaded version of the Heightfield generate node? I for one do this technique all the time to bake out a bitmap (EXR) from some DEM data using the Heightield generate node, and the Use shader input. It takes a long time even when baking out an 8k map, and I do 16k, and 32k maps.
If more TG users find this would be useful, Planetside may consider adding it to their list of features to work on in the near future. Just a thought...

Just an example: Tried generating a 32k map and after 15 hours of processing, I came back into work and it was only at 78% done. I sure would love to be able to take advantage of this Threadripper machine for Heightfield Generate. Seems like a task that could be broken up in chunks for multithreading to work.
