Empire State - CG Animation

This CG animation is basically a flyaround of an architecture piece I modeled. It is an exact replica of the Empire State building in dimension, and in the number of windows. I was trying to achieve a very Film Noir mood, with an art deco style, and a neutral color palette.

nice, i think at the last second or so you can see a bit where the window texturing gets caught on the corner. nice though, i just made my own empire state building.. please check it out

[AaronJamesPatterson]

You are right about the texturing. I have fixed it, but somehow that happened right as soon as I rendered that shot. Don't know how. Oh well, it's not a big deal for now.

You could play this in reverse and call it, 'The Empire State Building: A Suicide's Perspective'.

One attempt was made, but it was called off after encountering severe wind sheer.

Only a few airships were docked on the tower due to the Huge drafts created by the building

[Dudeifyacation]

[hep2jive]

[Tsuzyoko]

Didn't only one airship dock at the Empire State Building because of it being so dangerous?

Always happy to see someone who knows their history! What a site it would have been to catch a glimpse of an airship actually tethered to the building.
