One Minute Map Hack: Multi-Scale Hillshade

Light is weird, and robo-hillshading algorithms can get overly fixated on precision, resulting in terrain that's too crinkly and not lumpy enough. This hack just uses a couple of blurred versions of elevation data and smashes all their hillshades together to get the best of lumpy and crinkly.
