Hi,
Anyone had any experience with converting LIDAR to DEM or other formats that can be used in Terragen?

No but I imagine you could probably convert your Lidar to a VDISP map, similar to this thread:

Thanks 😊
I'll look into that.
I've found a good source for pulling point cloud from my home country which has lots of awesome mountains. I wanna import them to Terragen, but need to figure out how.
If anyone can find a good solution to this, I would be very happy ;D

I'm not entirely sure what sort of data you're working with but there are some options.

Ok. I've tried and failed so many times now. I know it's possible, but right now I just want Matt to implement and option to read these files and convert it to terrains ;D
Just look at all the data that is there in the attached image. And the lovely landscape of course.

The data is in laz. btw.
This one seems specific to LAZ files to OBJ: https://wiki.beamng.com/Using_LIDAR_to_generate_terrain
Does seem like a lot of these are on other paid for suites.
I'll try this one as well. Thanks :)
You could look into using MeshLab which is free. Looks like from searching it may be possible:
MeshLab Import LIDAR (https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk01441Okd1nc8WaovnNwKFNjb7oH0w%3A1590427151038&ei=D_7LXtfqAZL5-gSakpKoDA&q=meshlab+import+lidar&oq=MeshLab+LIDAR)
You might need this to convert your .las file to something else: https://www.danielgm.net/cc/
