The cabin is located on pine trunks connected with rope bridge with mountain path. I`ve also added native americans` thematics to location, using common ornaments and dreamcatchers.
I`ve used Megascans` library for close up trunks, needles, pinecones, groundcover, moss, roof shingles and for rocks
Good news everyone! I have finally managed to connect my Unit to a new stable power source so that my XR projections don’t flicker that much anymore. Well, at least not that often as they used to.
Also, last week I found some old stylized HMD that looks very similar to one of those first VR googles from the early 2020s or so. Was it called Wive? Or Vive or something like that? Anyways, the good part is that this display is still compatible with my XR system, despite the vintage design. I guess it must have been some gentle strike of nostalgia that inspired another product designer. Or maybe it’s just a random pick of the manufacturing AI. Who knows?
Sadly, I guess the end is here and now. That’s it. I’ll leave a link to some of my XR views below. Maybe some of you can still check it out, even though it lives in this old-school thing called “the internet” (I know! Hard to believe it is still working).

Well, till next time then! On another platform, on another rooftop…
Hello everybody, I finished my work finally. I had a lot of fun with that challenge and I am very impressed by the others challengers entries. Thanks for that challenge to everybody and I hope we will create again something nice works by an other challenge. Best regards
“It’s an Australian forest and believe me when you are in a glass transparent cabin,
here at night, and you know all those stories, and all those dangerous creatures around,
and trees above you sounds like an ocean – you won’t forget this night…”

It was an interesting task to stick to the initial sketch as much as possible in terms of color balance and general atmosphere.
What you think, did I succeed?
By the way, a shape of the cabin inspired by the SeaStar project of Architectural Prescription.

Cheers!
Working on adding some detail for the final renders.
Meanwhile some views of the cabin.
Here below are the final images and link to the VR tour. For the architecture of the cabin I closely followed the design of the existing Vindheim Cabin by Vardehaugen architects. The Vindheim cabin is the perfect place to escape for a weekend. It is tucked away deep in the an alpine landscape close to Lillehammer in Norway.
Thank you to Ronen Bekerman and all the sponsors for this opportunity. I really enjoyed making this project and using megascans assets for the first time. I found them really easy to use and was impressed with how they worked straight out of the box. I was also impressed with how easy Yulio was to use especially as it was my first time creating VR content.
