What are all the possible ways to import terrains to the TGE?

Heightmap only as far as I know. Hit F11 in game to bring up the editor and select the file menu. You'll see two import functions and one export function for terrain (as long as you're in the right terrain editor window).

Darn, I already knew that way but I had hopes that there's also other importing possibilities.
Sometimes the heightmap just doesn't feel accurate enough because the heightmap has to be so small file (256x256 if I recall right?)

Aye. TGE terrain is small and lacks quality texturing. Though it is really easy to use and pretty undemanding on even the lowest spec PC's so that makes up for it IMO.

I imagine you would want to look at TSE for it's atlas terrain. I don't say that with much conviction, just thought I'd beat everyone else to it ;)
