Description

Hello, just wondering where things stood on getting a DEM TIF (16 bit signed) into mapbox studio. I used rgbify and gdal and it looks okay in Mapbox studio, but perhaps since its seeing it as a raster instead of raster-dem getting a bunch of noise when I looking at it as a terrain in Unity.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the stated 16-bit signed DEM TIF → rgbify/GDAL → MBTiles → Mapbox Studio → Unity terrain workflow; no repository file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Done would require determining whether the output is treated as raster-dem and explaining the reported terrain noise.
