For this contest I want to have a nice image by the lake, showing to the viewer a relaxing place to look at the view, get some sun, play with the kids, get into canoes and come back to a cozy cabin for that hot chocolate in the end of a fun and relaxing day. I’m not good at concepting ideas on paper, I can do simple lines but I’m very visual in a sense that I have to get reference images and start to imagine what I want to do. The next stage is blocking out a rough pass on this idea and keep refining it further. I’m modelling in 3dsmax and bringing it all to Lumion 8 for the final real time render. The lighting will be either a nice and sunny day or a nice sundown.
I decided to use Lumion as my main tool and had to figure out how I jump start my terrain based on a real location height-map.
I tuned out to be very easy. Just import a grey-scale image representing the height-map into Lumion and then keep sculpting it with the built-in tools.
I am describing this process in my Making of CABINS Part ONE and will expand on it in Part TWO.
