The 7th Architectural Visualization Challenge I’m running in partnership with Quixel as the marquee sponsor. The book CABINS by Philip Jodidio and the fantastic illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi served as the principal inspiration for this year’s challenge theme. That, and my love for prefab architecture design.

CABINS entry by antoniobosi

The basic idea is to create an image where there’s a clear contrast between the human’s and the nature’s craft.

I’ll build a concrete home cabin, covered by brass plates giving the illusion of a gold plated box just posed in the woods. I will decide in the final stages the aging of the brass. For the interiors I’ll use few basic materials, probably raw concrete walls, wood planks for the floors, stone and shinny metals for the furnishing.

I’ll use Maya to modell the entire scene, Quixel Suite (ddo) for texturing, Megascans assets and Arnold for the final render.

I did some sketches (I’m not a very good hand painter) to have a basic layout. I also did some grass render tests using megascans.
