I finished model of the building, and did a fast sketch of surrounding.
Building – The hardest part for me was modeling of wood cladding: since I did not have normal blueprints of facades, I used to look at reference photos and was matching them with blueprints.. Again and again. In my opinion, wood cladding is a key in this situation, it’s not just a chaos, there is a logic inside of it. For example, Architects used 5-6 modules of wood cladding which repeated steadily. Also I used Randomize Elements script, to give them more natural look.

Landscape – I gathered all information which I wanted, by downloading about 130 images. Thankfully, Swedish Archipelago is often visited by tourists. I’ve made fast sketch of surrounding in 3dsmax, for better understanding of distances and composition. For further works on landscape I will use Zbrush.
