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.

I took inspiration from someone blowing into cupped hands to keep warm in the cold. The idea led to a focus on creating a space that provided warmth within a cool surrounding without separating the experience of being in the environment.

Spent the last couple of days finishing up the foliage library and scatter tool, UI still a bit clunky but it’s functional at least! I used Houdini to generate the height map for the terrain using a rough sculpt as a base. Done with the animatic so I now have a pretty good idea of the angles I want to cover
