3D Render output to Height and Ugly Noise Results

[StrongBeaver]

How can I get the results of a 3D Texture Surface render since it outputs color to a height map ?

Second, why when using the noises seen in the screen shot is the 3D Texture render output look as it does instead of a 3D noise result ?

The 3D Texture Surface Render node surface outputs a rendered image , not a heightmap

Is this more in keeping with what you were trying to achieve?

That is the result which I'm after. Although I was informed one can extract to a height map.
