    I have a Mesh.
    bound size - 10 x 10 x 10
    vertex count 307200 ( 640 x 480 ) - the Vector 3 array

    I would like to create a terrain from it's height values that is 640 x 480

    How do i go about doing this? I already can make a terrain of a desired size from Perlin noise.

    I would feed the heighmap of the terrain with the "altitude" of the mesh vertices (their y positions). So first thing is to get a table of your vertices Y position values and then create a 640*480 array based on this first table. You would probably want to use some smoothing functions on your values before feeding the heighmap table of your terrain
