Generating a Height Field Image

Hi all

I'm sure it's possible but wondering how I might go about rendering geometry in the top view as a Height Field / grey scale image. Ultimate goal is to build the geometry I want for a Wolfenstein Enemy Territory canyon type map, render this geometry as an image which I can then use as a height field for the game map editing tools.

Sounds long winded I know but will be ultimately simpler to get exactly the desired end result rather than use the clumsy mapping tools available.

Thanks in advance
