    Default February 2019 Challenge: Earth Reboot, New Eden

    OK people, Warlin sent me a very complete, very detailed & challenging one.


    A bit of background
    Earth reboot.
    The thermo-industrial civilization collapsed. What remains is a transhuman elite hidden behind bunker cities, enslaved by a all mighty AI and besieged by a vengeful Madmax-like mob.
    Confronted to the imminent ecological danger threatening all life on Earth, the project Earth Reboot emerged in the AI awareness.
    Facts :
    - Planet Earth will be inhospitable near 2100.
    - Energetic & moral incapacities to move humanity to another planet.
    - Time travel possible for technical devices, not for living organisms.
    AI answers :
    - Development of a space technical complex including everything required for asteroid's belt mining & solar/fissile energies, a nanites production device, an helioperipheric time travel system.
    - Choice of a terraforming of an Earth-Epoch by the nanites to create a germ of a civilzation composed by synthetised organisms in situ, with adaptation abilities and human consciousnesses downloaded from the AI.

    And the commission proper :
    Map the Earth Epoch selected (Cretaceous, around -100 MY) showing the new human civilization after about 100 years of terraforming.
    Requirements :
    - A regional map showing the main colonization site with infrastructures for settling, production, etc. The cartographer is free to decide if it's a success or a failure, unexpected events (geological accidents, oppositions between settlers...).
    - An insert displaying a global map of the Earth Epoch with the main sites of colonization (choice of projection is free).
    - a description of the natural resources and the situation of the colony, with a projection of its evolution (optimist or not, the more realistic possible).

    Optional elements :
    - A map of the solar system with the technical devices around the sun, in the asteroids belt.
    - A structure plan of the helioperipheric base.


    For the regional map, I chose the India zone at -105 MY here.

    And I'm trying I've always wanted to : a kind of "holographic map" iso view like in avatar or other sci-fi movies.
    A very start.

    Not sure of the very dark blue waters, though.

    Wow, that's quite the task Warlin has set you up with. I'm sure you can handle it, but my head is aching just from the thought of it Interesting to see what will come of this.

    Nice work with the mountains At a glance, I thought they were 3D renders of some sort, so the shading is certainly doing its job.

    that's looking stunning already!!! This is going to be one of the toughest challenges to vote on, I can already tell! Those mountains, are beautiful!
    Like a thief in the night
    she comes with no form
    yet tranquility proceeds
    the accursed storm...
