for the record, I was trying to recreate that with v.extrude + NVIZ,
but couldn't figure out how do color shade the different elevations. I
now realize that the screenshot was made in NVIZ from a 2.5D raster
image with colors set by r.colors and elevation from raster cat.

So I can do v.to.rast and solve my task that way, but it would still be
nice to know the answer to the v.generalize question.
