For the shape model, we start with a basic model and reduce the Q level (how many vectors). We "dumb" it down so we have a more blank slate to add the topography.
If you are starting with a Q=512, then you typically will reduce it by a factor of 16. If you have a Q lower than that, than adjust respectively.
shape2map allows you to run the view_maps, which displays the shape model
