High Res:

This Dystopian Ringworld was inspired by a Competition in the Cartographers Guild
The Basic Idea is that Humanity living on the Once abitable planet was forced to build a new Home in space because of a Cataclysm that hit the homeworld.
This lead to the Creation of Orbis ( meaning both Ring and World in Latin ) , a Huge megastructure Ring World .



Name: Orbis
Internal Radius : 32 Km
Angular Velocity : 0.167 Rotations/minute
Tangential Velocity : 560.758 m/sec
Centripetal Acceleration: 1 g
Location : Planet–Moon L5 Lagrangian point
Total mass: 188 million tons (including radiation shield (95%), habitat, and atmosphere)
Diameter: 64 Km
Circumference: 200,96 Km
Habitation antiradiation glass tube diameter thickness: 130 m (430 ft)
Radiation shield: 1.7 meters thick raw lunar soil
Terrain Area Surface : 2009,6 Km^2
Radial terrain diameter : 10 Km
Highest peak : 2000 m
Lowest Peak underwater : 500 m



Trivia On Making of:

There are flocks and Herds hidden in the map.
There are no manmade structures visible
There is a little Reflection of the opposite side of the Ring on the sea based on The Italian Peninsula , barely visible if even .
Geographical Features were taken from New Zealand, Caribbean Islands, Seljalandsfoss in Iceland for the Waterfall and Alaska clouds Green landscape mountain nature river Snowy Peak Spring Valleym the Highest mountain Peak is from Alps In Italy.
The Little Spaceships are from my previously made Eva Pods for the Albatross Spaceship.


Softwares used :

3dsmax for basic Ringworld structure
Keyshot for Basic Single Element rendering
Photoshop for Photomanipulation , Texturing, composition and everything else.
Grand Designer for The Planet and the moon.
Google Earth for Maps and images.

Time to complete 32 - 48 hours.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on this site. I don't know if it can be called a map, per se, but it is an absolutely stunning piece of artwork. I could stare at this all day long. Absolutely nothing else to say, my mind has officially been blown. Would rep ten times if I could.

Thankyou , I just updated the map fixing the Waterfalls that seemed to go excessively beyond the line of the coast and added a small boat ...

This is a great painting!

I am only confused by one thing: your highest and lowest peaks are outside the diameter of the tube. Is that right (or did I misunderstand your statistics)?

[Naima]

Diameter is 64 km , radius 32 to sea level , from there highest peak mountain is 2km and lowest deep warer is -500 m the diameter of the whole tube section is 10 km.... so from highest peak to top glass there are about 1-3 km still.

[jshoer]

I think they mean....isn't the whole megastructure manmade?

Diameter is 64 km , radius 32 to sea level , from there highest peak mountain is 2km and lowest deep warer is -500 m the diameter of the whole tube section is 10 km.... so from highest peak to top glass there are about 1-3 km still.

Ah, I see, I misconstrued which diameter and which thickness was which.

I also had the chance to open this up on a much bigger screen - and WOAH! It's really amazing. I love all your little details on the structure, the landscape, and the geometry. Putting in a view of the reflection of the other side of the ring really gets the viewer into the middle of it.

Gorgeous and impressive ! Wow, I barely worked on mine (I hope to do more soon), but you already did a wonder in the same time !
I love the concept, the view and the art...
If I had a nitpick (or a wish), it would be to have some of those data about the ring on or around the map itself.

This is absolutely stunning! You obviously put a lot of thought into this and it shows!

Great piece of art work Naima. Every one know your cartographic skills, and now can appreciate your composition and style. Rep coming.
Cheers.
