CABINS entry by StephenBreux

There are places that make you dream, inspire, make you want to create stuff.
I participate in this contest to increase my talents of renderman. Also a good opportunity to learn how to use Quixel
My concept is a house dug in the middle of the cliffs, lost in the middle of nothing. Perfect place with a perfect view, to enjoy the silence, the lights, the stars.
It will be a night view, with different colors coming from the sky (stars, aurora borealis, moon, etc).
The Cabins will contain a lot of glazed elements to play with the reflections. In the middle of the picture will be a piano, or an artist’s studio, or a 3D computer artist ^^, with a person seeming to be inspired!

Now that I decide where the cabin is going to be located I will start the creation of the environment first. I would like to try use houdini to create the terrain and then bring it to max to combine with substance and corona render.

The idea always starts with an initial sketch of lapin and paper, mainly reference of the MINI ECO book where a series of prefabricated ecological homes that can adapt to any natural environment without damaging it is analyzed. This was the main premise to be able to have a more accurate idea of ​​what is required to recreate a cabin that does not damage its natural environment and is emplaced in any natural environment with the purpose of nature appropriating prefabricated architecture, although the main concept was to give freedom to the rectangular volume of the cabin which has a modulation of 2 modules of 3×3 and an open deck towards the sky making relation to the flight of the birds or the shape of a butterfly.

Our proposal idea comes from the opportunity of imaging and dreaming of a forthcoming future scenario where interplanetary trips are not only possible but also beneficial. This, not just to escape from any likelihood Earth catastrofy, but as alternative of a conscious humankind.
According to the lastest research carried out by NASA/ESA/ASI, Titan’s features – Saturn’s principal satellite – are ideal for establishing autonomous colonies and at the same time remote outposts for Universe studies.
Moving from Science to Science Finction, we have envisaged a humanity capable of performing holiday trips to Saturn’s satellites.
Our design proposal is based on habitat-modules built with large glazed areas (on Titan the sun light is definitely lighter than that one on the Earth) that integrate mini green-houses containing gardens. From these modules will be possible to enjoy the view of “Ligeia Mare” (one of the satellite’s largest lakes made by liquid methane and ethane) and its golden haze, the immensity of Saturn cut out over the skyline and the other innumerable satellites from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, like Enceladus, Tethys and Dione.

The cabins modeling process is quite simple: basic poly modeling in blender. Landscape creation has been developed on 3ds max (elevation map via displace modifier) through radar images found on the web. There’s a lot of stunning images done by Cassini space probe.. So here we are!
