Can we use .tif tiles as terrain tiles?

[mrgloom]

For now I'm using cesium-terrain-builder for producing terrain tiles in .terrain format, but I wonder can Cesium work with float .tif tiles (maybe using Cesium-GeoserverTerrainProvider)?

You should understand that the starting point to use Cesium-GeoserverTerrainProvider is geoserver with bil/DDS capabilities. So You must insert your data into geoserver before working with this plugin.
I recommand you to make a pyramid of tiles with gdal before use of geoserver.
If you are interested, you should check this.

I'm not sure what BIL/DDS means, as I understand for now my cesium app use apache server for supply .terrain tiles.
