Hello, is there any trick or workaround allowing to export (as bitmap) the weight map layers painted on a landscape, so that I can eventually recreate the terrain for use with another 3D application? Thanks.

In the landscape paint tool you should be able to export the weightmaps if you right click the layer and click export. Same menu also allows you to import weightmaps.
