Chromatic Elevation Shader - Topographic Surface 3D model

The Chromatic Elevation Shader – Topographic Surface is a high-resolution, fully procedural 3D asset designed to bring abstract sophistication and cinematic vibrance to your creative projects. Crafted entirely in Blender v3.5.1 and rendered using the Cycles render engine, this model features a flowing, contour-like surface enhanced with glowing, chromatic gradients.

The design is inspired by topographical mapping, fluid dynamics, and elevation data visualization. It delivers both artistic flair and technical performance, making it suitable for professionals working in motion graphics, sci-fi visualizations, digital installations, concept environments, and shader experimentation.

This procedural surface model excels in visual storytelling, producing dynamic lighting reactions and captivating depth that make it ideal for close-up renders, animation, and high-end concept design.

• Built entirely using Blender's native shader nodes—no image textures or UVs involved.

• Customizable through node parameters including:

  • Color mapping and gradient transitions
  • Surface displacement depth
  • Glow and emission intensity
  • Contour thickness and spacing
  • Chromatic distortion strength

• The shader system is highly modular and labeled for easy navigation and tweaking.

• Vertices: 129,026
• Polygons: 129,024
• The geometry is dense yet clean, built for visual fidelity in high-resolution renders. Subdivision-ready and compatible with most rendering workflows.

• Clean, non-overlapping, manifold geometry ensures compatibility with simulations, sculpting, and close-up macro shots.
• No hidden artifacts or internal geometry.
• All elements are logically named and grouped for a professional workflow.

• Materials are fully editable without baking or UV unwrapping.
• Artists can iterate rapidly without worrying about texture seams or projection errors.
• Ideal for real-time rendering and experimentation.

• .blend – Native Blender file with complete shader setup, lighting rig, and render-ready camera
• .fbx – Export-ready for most digital content creation tools
• .obj – Widely compatible static mesh format
• .stl – Clean geometry for prototyping, 3D printing, or physical experimentation

All files are included in an organized ZIP archive for streamlined import and version control.
