Objective: To create a highly realistic museum-quality 3D model map, titled {argument name="city archive title" default="TOKYO — NOCTURNAL URBAN ARCHIVE"} ,exhibit{argument name="city" default="Tokyo"} The image is presented at night as a dense 3D architectural landscape archive model, photographed from a high angle on a dark desktop. Canvas: 3:2 wide horizontal composition, like a high-end architectural archive project. The map fills most of the image, with a thick dark border, cream-colored fine lines, coordinate scales, and a data bar at the bottom. A restrained nighttime color palette is used: charcoal black paper, deep navy blue water, warm amber streetlights, cool white building lights, subtle blue accents, and matte model textures. Main scene: A detailed miniature city map combining flat-printed street plans with raised 3D buildings. Roads are rendered as glowing gold and white lines. Water is deep navy blue with a glossy reflection. The terrain should have a tactile feel, reflecting the paper texture, subtle shadows, and realistic model-making materials. Three prominent glowing 3D landmarks are included: Tokyo Tower emitting a warm orange glow near the lower left center, Tokyo Skytree emitting cool blue and purple glow near the upper right waterfront, and the Rainbow Bridge spanning the bay in the lower right corner. Includes the dense cluster of skyscrapers around Shinjuku and central Tokyo, as well as many low-rise urban blocks. Layout and Labeling: Add nine black rectangular label boxes with thin cream borders, each with Japanese text above and small English text below: 1) Shinjuku, 2) Shibuya, 3) Ueno, 4) Asakusa, 5) Tokyo Skytree, 6) Imperial Palace, 7) Ginza, 8) Odaiba, 9) Tokyo Bay. Place them near their respective areas with subtle indicator lines, but avoid clutter. Map Grid: Add an archive-style index grid around the map. Use column numbers 1 to 10 for the top edge and row letters A to E for the left edge. Add small coordinate markers along the border, including latitude and longitude style numbers. In the data bar at the bottom right corner, include a small index grid box that precisely displays 25 cells, labeled A1 to A5, B1 to B5, C1 to C5, D1 to D5, and E1 to E5. Bottom Data Bar: Create an archive legend and title bar along the bottom. The left legend box should be titled "Legend" and list 8 items with colored line samples: 1) JR Yamanote Line, 2) JR Chuo Line, 3) Ginza Line, 4) Asakusa Line, 5) Yurikamome Line, 6) Waterways, 7) Main Roads, 8) Highways. If space allows, add a small park/green space color block. The left-center title text should be {argument name="main title text" default="TOKYO — NOCTURNAL URBAN ARCHIVE"} Add "Landscape Archive Model" and the archive code below.{argument name="archive code" default="Archive Code: TKY-NAM-2024-001"} Add a scale bar labeled "Scale 1:25,000," with distance scales from 0 to 2.5 kilometers. Add a compass in the separate box on the right. Visual style: ultra-refined editorial product photography, sharp focus, realistic depth of field, soft directional studio lighting from the upper left, warm city light, subtle shadows created by raised structures, luxurious matte black project boards, cream-colored ink drawing lines, museum-quality. Avoid people, oversized vehicles, cartoonish style, bright sunlight, cluttered typography, or additional landmarks besides the labeled ones.
