Landscape Archive 3D Relief Map Model

Please create a highly finished, premium-textured visual of a "Landscape Archive Model" suitable for serialized release based on [Theme].

This is not an ordinary map, landscape illustration, or urban rendering, but a high-end archival visual combining "2D cartographic drafting + 3D volumetric topographic model + professional annotation system + museum display aesthetic." The scene should appear as a physically crafted geographic research model, urban planning diorama, architectural proposal model, or worldbuilding exhibit—exhibiting professional, restrained, precise, and tangible high-grade tactile qualities.

[Basic Setup]
Theme: [Theme, e.g., Crater Lake / Guangzhou / Mountain City Chongqing / Island City / Ancient Ruins / Post-apocalyptic Ruins / Fantasy Continent / Game Capital]
Theme Type: [Natural Landform / Urban Space / Hybrid Landscape]
Core Subject: [Core subject, e.g., crater, canyon, mountain range, lake, CBD, historic district, landmark cluster, island city, ruins, core urban area]
Key Focus: [Key focus, e.g., elevation differences / urban landmarks / street grid structure / hydrological network / nature-city relationship / lore setting display]
Style Direction: [Style, e.g., geographic cartography, paper-sculpture model, architectural proposal, museum archive, urban planning, game artbook]
Primary Tone: [Primary tone, e.g., off-white, light gray, parchment white, sand, snow white]
Secondary Tone: [Secondary tone, e.g., earth brown, rock gray, cool gray, pale blue, moss green]
Accent Color: [Accent color, e.g., fine black lines, red route lines, blue hydrological lines, yellow index markers]
Aspect Ratio: [Aspect ratio, e.g., 16:9 landscape / 3:4 portrait / 4:5 portrait / 1:1 square]

[Composition & Structure]
The main subject is a rectangular map model board placed on a clean tabletop or white cloth surface. The base board has tangible thickness, with visible sectional side profiles, resembling an exquisite map slice or model pedestal. The map surface carries a clear yet restrained information overlay, including contour lines, road networks, hydrological lines, zoning boundaries, geographic textures, coordinate markers, subtle notes, and drafted borders.

In the central or off-center area of the map, a three-dimensional main model "grows" out from the 2D map, serving as the visual focal point.

If [Theme Type] is Natural Landform:
The subject may consist of mountains, canyons, craters, lakes, basins, islands, glaciers, faults, and coastlines, emphasizing topographic elevation, layered contour structures, rock cliff textures, and natural terrain undulations.

If [Theme Type] is Urban Space:
The subject may consist of the core downtown, CBD, historic blocks, landmark buildings, waterfront areas, transit nodes, bridges, water bodies, and parks, emphasizing architectural volumes, urban identity, spatial layers, and planning layout.

If [Theme Type] is Hybrid Landscape:
Integrate both natural topography and the built environment (e.g., mountain cities, island cities, historic ruins, post-apocalyptic ruins, fantasy citadels), allowing nature and architecture to collectively form the central visual.

[Detail Requirements]
- Surface retains cartographic paper texture and professional data feel
- Topographic areas display contours, slope layering, depressions, and elevations
- Built areas display volumetric forms, block patterns, and clear layering
- Water bodies rendered in low-saturation pale blue
- Green spaces, forests, parks, and hills in moss green or muted green
- Street networks and transit axes in thin, clean lines without overwhelming the model
- Key landmarks must have clear, recognizable forms
- For fantasy or sci-fi themes, maintain archival model and blueprint aesthetics rather than pure scenario illustration

[Annotation System]
The borders of the map board must feature an understated, complete technical info module:
- Outer and inner neatlines
- Scale bar
- Legend area
- Title block
- Archive catalog number
- Index markers
- Callout annotations
- Concise symbol keys
Text does not need to be entirely legible, but the overall layout must present an authentic, clean, precise, and orderly archival typography.

[Framing & Camera]
Use an axonometric or diorama-style oblique top-down perspective, angled around 30 to 45 degrees above the model board, allowing the viewer to simultaneously observe the 2D surface, 3D relief elevation, board thickness, and annotation modules. Visual hierarchy centers on the 3D relief, guiding the eye from the main model to surrounding topography/network/water, and finally to legends and scale bars.

[Materials & Lighting]
Must convey real-world model photography quality:
- Paper grain and texture
- Map print finish
- Paper-cut or diorama model feel
- Architectural model or terrain cross-section tactile feel
- Soft natural lighting
- Delicate, authentic soft shadows
- Clean backdrop
- Low saturation, premium, and restrained
Avoid cartoonish styles, cheap game UI looks, excessive clutter, or over-the-top effects; emphasize the harmonious unity of "map substrate + 3D relief model + technical annotation system."

Final output should resemble an archival landscape model visual fit for geography education, urban research, architectural proposals, travel editorials, or luxury artbook covers.
