CABINS / richst_za : Cape Mountain Cabin

Here is my final entry. Possibly the most challenging project I’ve worked on, but worth every bit as it was a great learning experience.

I rendered everything with Redshift and all the models and foliage were created from the ground up using Megascans assets.

A huge thanks to Ronen for organizing this as well as to the sponsors for bringing the community together for the challenge.

Here’s the link to the main submission:

Here are the Yulio renders:

CABINS / richst_za : richst_za

So it’s been a while since the last update and much has changed.

I started the month off experimenting with different environment ideas to surround the cabin. My initial idea was to have a secluded lake house in a pine forest. I ran with this idea for a while but ultimately decided to drop the lake idea and focus on the forest aspect.

Having created a little scatter tool for Maya and after building up a library of plants it was quite quick to populate the areas around the cabin.

For the overall look of the structure I decided to go for a more distressed concrete look and feel. I found this allowed the cabin to sit better in the environment and made more sense as I wanted it to feel like it exists in a fairly rugged terrain.

I have a few more renders to get through in the last couple of days before calling this project done. Looking forward to getting some sleep when it’s all over 😛
