Dr. Northcut and I decided to work on static images as a possible alternative to animations. I'm going to begin by looking at the original graphics that she used in her article and thinking of ways to improve them. I believe she still wants it to have a realistic look to it, which is going to be the challenging part. I've thought of using a 3D topo map as a base and working from that, but the more I think about it, the harder I think it'll be. The thing I'm leaning toward now is to draw the landscapes myself and then just add textures that make it look as realistic as possible.
