Fallingwater - By [Kasperg] YUGO      jm_ameyugo@yahoo.es
--------------------------------------------------

This map is based on Frank Lloyd Wright's  Kaufmann House and Guest Wing  in Bear Run, Pennsylvania.
Although it's not a 100% representation of the buildings, the textures choices and measurements give
a very accurate impression of the real place.
You can find info on the real house here:

Facts about the map.


-It was begun December the 23rd 2005 and finished January the 23rd,  2006   One exact month!
-The map has much less vegetation than the real place. There are a lot of reasons for that, like performance.
-The stairs to the Guest Wing should reach 6 more steps than they do in the map. This was learned after the
stairs and most of the house was finished, so no changes were made.
-The map was done with floorplans from the official webpage and about 250 photos found in the Internet.
-Most of the paintings are actually the real ones found in the house, and their placement is also the real one.
-The pictures in the living room are actually pictures of the Kaufmann family members. 
-The not so good performance of this map is a consequence of the water in the stream. Since
this is an essential part of the house, it could not be altered.
-The real house has several statues placed in strategic positions. These are absent in the map.
-The map "credits" can be found close to the main fireplace, if you trigger a certain object.
-There are parts of the map which should be more curved >> performance issues.
-Some doors and doorframes were discarded because they didnt contribute to the experience of the map in a positve way.
-Displacement surfaces might have errors. If you stick to the architectural part of the map, you'll probably won't see them.
-This is the first Source map by this author that includes custom textures.They were added with Pakrat.
-The vmf file for this map will probably never ever be released to the public. 
-A Half-life1 version will not be made, although the map was begun with Half-life1
-This map has give the author a new view of things, and his maps and university projects will probably be 
better thanks to this odyssey.
-This map is not compiled with full VIS. Besides the fact that it would take ages to compile, running a full 
vis would not help performance much. It's a very open map and most of it is func_detail. The compile took 1 hour 36 minutes
-Thanks to the members of TWHL for the help, positive comments and support.
-Unlike the real building, does map will not fall because of structural problems :D
