Not sure you're wanting the same thing as me, but maybe this will help. I have a mesh terrain with color data and I wanted to convert that to a heightfield and read in color data into different layers.

I first did a heightfield project to get the height data. Then for each channel of color, I did a point wrangle on the source mesh:

@P.y = @Cd.r;

Once the color was converted to height, I could do a heightfield project into a mask layer.
