# Ridgeline Terrain: motion graphics style

> Seventy stacked ridgelines flow toward the viewer like a night landscape, and the word heaves up out of the ground as a range of glowing mesas. Minimal data-art with true hidden-line removal, for tech, music and outdoor brands.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Render a minimalist night landscape made only of stacked horizontal lines in which the word [TEXT] rises out of the ground. About seventy thin parallel ridgelines, spaced closer toward the horizon for gentle perspective, are displaced by smooth noise terrain that scrolls slowly toward the viewer, with hidden lines removed so nearer ridges occlude the ones behind. Lines are cool slate blue on near-black, with a pale moon sitting low on the horizon. The letters of [TEXT], in a wide heavy geometric sans, heave up from left to right as flat-topped mesas whose ridgelines glow warm amber-white over rust-red cliff faces, hold while the terrain keeps flowing, then sink back into the plain.
