Right after a basic WorkFlowDiagram invented for finishing maps with a NON GIS (graphic) software comes another interesting subject - i.e. Hill Shading.
Much has been told abt this matter already, however most of us (mappers) had to develop our own preferencies - how to obtain best results.

1. We got within this Forum at least one very good material ref. to hill shading:

2. But still uncomparable is one methode created by Mr Roger Smith from
http://www.geographx.co.nz/
where we can admire his beautiful New Zealand's 3D maps.

and even ready for download maps:

3. Following those materials I've found my own way in HillShading my maps, however I'm still not quite happy abt that.

Perhaps we could share our experience abt this matter here and learn more one from another
