I've updated Geoblender so that the country DEM prep is automated using python! Simply add the DEM tiles and set COUNTRY_CODE to your desired country. I also added the option to download and drape a Sentinel satellite image over it! See

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter. β Physics-based color repulsion β Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias β Adaptive spacing to hit target count β OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform) Early Access: please break it!

Out of curiosity, I made a notebook that turns an image into a csv grid and visualises it with gridviz, allowing you to manipulate each pixel:

Not that useful, but I thought it looked cool!
