Day 05 - Environment
An unfamiliar environment. Perhaps where we go after it all. The insignia designs are based on an invented alphabet I created as a child. I used COPs extensively for texturing and post processing to achieve a posterised, surreal aesthetic.

For the "Environment" prompt, I created a stylized, dramatic snowy scene. I wanted to move away from pure realism and go for a more atmospheric, slightly surreal winter look, featuring a central Snowman character set against a dark, stormy sky.

The project relies on a tight integration between SOPs for geometry, POPs for the snowfall, and LOPs for the final cinematic composition.

Hi there Today I am uploading renders For Day 5 of Mardini 2026 Environment
I just had a bad day today. My Houdini kept on crashing—I think I poked it too much lol. I tried making a snowy mountain with dense clouds.

I made a micro environment today, for "Aspergillus", a tiny fungus. Portrayed here inside of a human lung (not healthy).
