I use geocontrol for the heightmap and you can actually export a real 3D data out from it to be used with and 3D program. But I don't have any 3D program and those are really expensive, so I just work on the 2D gray scale image in Photoshop. If you are interested in using Geocontrol, please seach for a tutorial created by our fellow cartographer Jykke. It is a tutorial that got me started with Geocontrol.
