I may be totally wrong, but I don't think vector areas work well with NIVZ.

try

g.region vect=yourmap
g.region -p

#if rows, columns > 2000x2000 set the resolution coarser:
g.region res=100 -a

then try a raster version: v.to.rast 

or just

r.mapcalc basemap=0
nviz elev=basemap

Then display the vector on that surface, or go to the NVIZ raster panel
and set basemap's color surface attribute to the v.to.rast result.
