SketchUp Model in Lumion

I used the artisan tool in SketchUp based off my axonometric drawing (third design of concept 2). The result was a sheltered cave like form. This structure is reminiscent of desert based buildings as the outer walls create shading from the harsh environment (both sun and wind resistance). Consequently, I alternated the weather and environment to match that of a dry tundra environment. I left the landscape and removed objects to create this baron environment.
