Abstract layered terrain 3D render

Tags
[abstract layered terrain] fills a vertical 2:3 frame as a close-up study, occupying the lower-left to center-right diagonal with a [winding channel] that runs from the lower-left third through the center toward the upper-right third of the composition. The composition emphasizes layered contour ridges and carved grooves across the surface, with the center area occupied by the brightest flow and the upper third showing more compressed, darker ridges. Soft, directional rim and top lighting sculpts shallow shadows and gentle highlights, producing low-key contrast and neon reflections in [cool teal highlights] and [warm pink-orange accents]. Microscale particle detail and discrete [bead-like bumps] punctuate the midground while the foreground and background are softened to create shallow depth. Render as a polished 3d-render with smooth surfaces, subtle micro-reflections on raised edges, and controlled bloom on the highlighted channel to preserve tactile speculars. Maintain the vertical 2:3 crop so the diagonal channel remains the visual axis and ensure the center remains the brightest area with upper-third compression of darker ridges.
