Not quite. I noticed a couple of errors so I've uploaded a revised version. Same link as above.

Status: offline 		I've been testing a few ways to enhance the elevation changes more, as I'm not totally happy with what I've got at then moment.The North west edges of the elevations are hard to distinguish in urban environments for example.

I've come up with a few ways to do it. I've made a preview of the different solutions below and I'm going to open it up to you guys to see what you prefer. Nos. 1 and 2 use slightly different techniques, where no. 1 has a flat, layered look while no. 2 is a more rounded look.No.3 is an enhanced version of no.2 where I added a black outline after the shading.
