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!

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter.
– Physics-based color repulsion
– Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias
– Adaptive spacing to hit target count
– 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: observablehq.com/d/0a51240cfc...
Not that useful, but I thought it looked cool!
