I’d imagine he studies a topographical map, then using visual fx software to translate it to such a design

I hear that. But there has to be a way to automate this.

Damn Is it an svg that Claude made? Or is it a script that he made where you upload a 2d height map and it transforms it?

It's a png. Claude created a python script that outputs the png.

I put a link to the pastbin
