I use Lightwave to make most of my maps, But now I ues unity 3D a lot Need help

Is their a way to convert a map made in ligthwave (out put as .X, FBX,OBJ,3DS and other ) is their a converter to change a object file into a unity terrain file with Coll. I would like it to be just like it was made in unity 3d.
I hope their a way I can make some very nice maps in lightwave.

 

Unity uses height maps for terrains, which are basically just an image file. I'm not aware of a tool which converts 3D models into height maps, but you could search around for one.

But you can certainly use 3D models for the purpose of a terrain in Unity, even though Unity won't see them as a terrain object.

 

Thank you

There are also Unity asset store assets, like this that might do what you need (some free, some paid):

Edit:
And you could also render out a heightmap image from Lightwave (don't remember anymore how that went, long time since I've used LW) and then import it to Unity, terrain seems to support importing heightmaps:
