A map request.

Hi there, mappers. Been awhile since I've asked for anything, map-wise, but I thought I'd ask for this one.
Basically, I'm looking at making a map based off of a heightfield generated from a 3D model, with procedural textures and other things being used to generate the render, optimized for a top-down view, of course.
The model is almost done, and this is sort've a proof-of-concept for me, so I wanted to hear if anybody else has been doing this sort've thing and has any practical advice for me in terms of making the heightmap and other details.
