I never got to complete this project. My disabilities prevented me from using the 2-handed key combinations 3D Studio Max required.
Since all of that, my friends the Penfields, have put the estate on the market. I wish them only the best in their retirement. I know the house will be difficult to say goodbye to. I've been visiting the house since 1970 and both Lou and now his son, paul, have been gracious hosts. Donna Penfield... thank you for all the materials and time you gave toward this project.

The house at dusk
This chronicles my journey into the world of architectural 3D creation and animation. This is my first-such attempt. That challenge, along with the fact that I am working from original blueprints which are, for the most part, scaled drawings rather than 'dimensioned' drawings, has presented an extraordinary amount of challenges and frustrations. What began as a seemingly simplistic project due to the simplistic nature of the design, has proven to be anything but...

I was just at the Penfield House this past weekend and I enjoyed my stay very much. Do you still have copies of the blueprints you received from CMU? If not, how could I go about receiving copies? Maybe I could do a little of the work on the model for you. I do a little bit of CAD drafting and I have done a little bit of 3D modeling. I can't promise that I would be able to finish it but maybe I could do a little and pass it on to someone else who can.
