Technically, yes. "Proper" shaded relief is with a light source in the
Northwest. However, for larger areas (where the angle of incoming
sunlight would be different on opposite ends of the project area), I've
been able to get by with coloring based on the angle of the slope. Mind
you, this is in VNS, which is more or less specifically designed for
this kind of work.
