I know I promised a tutorial, but my technique didn't translate well to some (most) of the other shapefiles, so I spent the last couple of days adding shapefile support to Ground Control. It will probably be a week or so before it's ready to release, tonight I got first render.

It's not full shapefile implementation, but it does do what the SRTM data requires. Perhaps later I'll do full implementation, that might be handy for GIS visualizations.
