Wright's Fallingwater in Half-Life 2

[Chacal]

Everyone knows about Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house, possibly the most beautiful house ever built.

Here it is modeled for the Half-Life 2 engine:

Ahhh Falling Water in Source. Quite awesome. I particularly like Source's lighting capabilities. (complete radiosity lightmaps on all objects) It would be interesting to see some well known architecture in plasma. "An Uru explorer visits Fallingwater"

Then again, I'm not entirely sure how legal that would be to release..

There's the actual video of the Half Life version. It's been around for a while. Very nice.

That looks like the same video that Chacal posted, except with more bloom. Perhaps running on better hardware? (or maybe just a lost of post-processing. )

Chacal's video is the real Fallingwater, the one I posted isthe Half Life one

[Chacal]

Actually I posted links for both, but only one link shows up colored for me.

[Nadnerb]

This is correct. I watched both of Chacal's videos. Check his links again. No, I did not mistake a video of the real Fallingwater for a computer rendering, thank you very much.

I would love to visit it some day.
I fear I'll be disappointed by throngs of tourists, like it was in Japan.

I've been there (I was living in Pittsburgh at the time, so it was a short drive).

It was a nice trip. There were other tourists, but it wasn't packed.
