Landscape Archive Model Map

Based on the {argument name="theme" default="theme"}, create a high-completion, high-quality 'Landscape Archive Model' visual image suitable for series publication.

This is not an ordinary map, nor a simple landscape illustration or urban rendering, but a high-end archival visual image combining '2D map blueprint + 3D regional model + professional annotation system + museum exhibition feel'. The image should look like a real geographic research model, urban planning sandbox, architectural proposal model, or worldview setting exhibit, with professional, restrained, precise, and tactile high-quality texture.

[BASIC SETTINGS]
Theme: {argument name="theme content" default="theme, for example: crater lake / Guangzhou / Chongqing mountain city / island city / ancient city ruins / post-apocalyptic ruins / fantasy continent / game main city"}
Theme Type: {argument name="theme type" default="natural landform / urban space / mixed landscape"}
Core Subject: {argument name="core subject" default="core subject, for example: crater, canyon, mountain range, lake, CBD, old city area, landmark cluster, island city, ruins cluster, main city area"}
Content Focus: {argument name="content focus" default="content focus, for example: terrain elevation / urban landmarks / road network structure / water system relationship / natural and urban relationship / setting collection display"}
Style Direction: {argument name="style direction" default="style direction, for example: geographic mapping style, paper sculpture model style, architectural proposal style, museum archive style, urban planning style, game setting collection style"}
Main Color: {argument name="main color" default="main color, for example: off-white, light gray, parchment white, sand color, snow white"}
Secondary Color: {argument name="secondary color" default="secondary color, for example: earth brown, rock gray, cool gray, light blue, moss green"}
Accent Color: {argument name="accent color" default="accent color, for example: black thin lines, red route, blue hydrology line, yellow numbering markers"}
Aspect Ratio: {argument name="aspect ratio" default="aspect ratio, for example: 16:9 horizontal / 3:4 vertical / 4:5 vertical / 1:1 square"}

[IMAGE STRUCTURE]
The main image is a rectangular map model board placed on a clean tabletop or white fabric. The base has realistic thickness, with visible cross-section structure on the edges, like a refined map slice or model base. The map surface is covered with clear but restrained information layers, including contour lines, road networks, hydrology lines, zoning boundaries, geographic textures, coordinate feel, slight annotations, and map borders.

In the center or slightly off-center of the map, a 3D main model grows out of the 2D map, becoming the visual core of the entire image.

If [theme type] is natural landform:
The subject can consist of mountains, canyons, craters, lakes, basins, islands, glaciers, faults, coastlines, etc., emphasizing terrain elevation, layered contour line structures, rock wall textures, and natural landform undulations.

If [theme type] is urban space:
The subject can consist of core urban areas, CBD, old city blocks, landmark building clusters, waterfront areas, road network nodes, bridges, water systems, park green spaces, etc., emphasizing building mass, urban recognition, spatial layering, and planning structure.

If [theme type] is mixed landscape:
It needs to integrate both natural terrain and artificial built environments, such as mountain cities, island cities, ancient city ruins, post-apocalyptic ruins, fantasy main cities, sci-fi bases, etc., allowing natural landforms and urban structures to jointly form the core visual.

[DETAIL REQUIREMENTS]
- The model surface retains map blueprint feel and professional information sense
- Terrain areas should have contour lines, slope layering, depression and undulation relationships
- Building areas should have mass sense, block relationships, and clear layering
- Water areas use low-saturation light blue to represent
- Greenery, forests, parks, mountain bodies can be represented in moss green or low-saturation green
- Road networks, paths, transport axes, or exploration routes can be represented with thin lines, but should not overshadow the main subject
- If there are landmark buildings or key structures, they should have clear recognizability
- If there are fantasy, sci-fi, or game setting elements, they should retain archive model and blueprint display feel, rather than being made into pure scene illustrations

[ANNOTATION SYSTEM]
The edges of the map board need to be designed with complete yet restrained annotation modules, including:
- Outer frame lines and inner frame lines
- Scale bar
- Legend area
- Title area
- Archive number
- Index markers
- Annotation labels
- Concise symbol explanations
Text does not need to be fully legible, but the overall presentation must show a real, clear, precise, orderly archival layout structure.

[COMPOSITION AND CAMERA]
Use an oblique isometric or sandbox-style composition, with the camera observing the entire model board from approximately 30 to 45 degrees above, allowing the viewer to see the map plane, the height of the 3D subject, the edge thickness, and the annotation area simultaneously. The visual focus is concentrated on the central main model, with the reading path: first look at the core subject, then at the surrounding terrain/road network/water system/block information, and finally at the legend, scale, and annotation area.

[MATERIAL AND LIGHTING]
The overall should have a realistic model photography texture:
- Paper texture
- Map printing texture
- Paper sculpture or sandbox model feel
- Architectural model or terrain slice texture
- Soft natural lighting
- Delicate realistic shadows
- Clean background
- Low saturation, high-end, restrained
Avoid cartoonish, cheap game UI feel, excessive clutter, excessive trickery, focusing on highlighting the unified visual of 'map base + 3D main subject + professional annotation system'.

The final effect should look like a landscape archive model image that can be used for geographic popularization, urban research, architectural proposals, cultural tourism visual features, worldview setting collections, or high-end series covers.
