CABINS entry by novena

I decided to go for an A-shaped cabin as the one designed by Utopia arkitekter, I found it visually more attractive, so here come some sketches with a raw sketchup model to test angle views, lighting and mood.
Landscape is a raw model done with world machine.

A correct scatter at this stage, i think it will make a huge difference in quality and rendering times. I have to get to a good balance between what it will be texture (normal bumps) and a 3d model. Adding general textures help me to picture how it will look and where to add more details in the model.
