Incredible Computer Animation

Posted by Edoray


Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and is part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.

Hailed by TIME magazine shortly after its completion as Wright's "most beautiful job," the home inspired Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, and is listed among Smithsonian magazine's Life List of 28 places "to visit before ...it's too late." Fallingwater was featured in Bob Vila's A&E Network production, Guide to Historic Homes of America.

But then Cristóbal Vila has created this incredible computer animation of the house. Trust me on this, you'll love it. State of the art animation work.

A shot from the same area as the one below, but I left it in color.

Black and White HDR

Still exploring HDR, but now with a B&W image. There's great tonal range in a B&W image to work with, so once again take at least 3 images of any great image you see and give it a try. Photoshop has some very nice HDR capabilities or you can use Photomatrix. Most people like Photomatrix better, but there are some really nice features buried deep within Photoshop.
