i whant to take a depthsmap out ouf a 3dgame to genarate Surface for game tiles.

so take something like [metadata.springfiles.com]
and put it on something like [www.thingiverse.com]
do anyone know openscad is able to read data like this? or is there may be a more mighty language?

I think the surface command of OpenSCAD could be what you are looking for:

I wrote a gimp plugin to export dat files that the surface command can utilize:

but that surface you linked to does not look like a useful depthmap (heightfiled) rendered output attached it looks more like a normal map or an edgemap.
