New York City Opera, USA
Designer: Christian De Portzamparc
Location:Manhattan, New York City
Description:
The dual progress program is based on the collision of extraordinary geometries in order to magnify the presence of the theater directly at the heart of New York City. Thrusting towers accomodiates the apartment. At street level the auditorium's great volume floats, pushing against the filtering facade. In between the two, the foyers levitate amongst the ramps and the footbridhe leading to the various spaces. These dynamic volumes a city landmark.

Description:
fryrender is the unbiased spectral renderer developed by Feversoft. All the elements involved in the render (materials, lights, cameras,...) are based on physically accurate models up to the point that when you hit render a simulation of the real behavior of light happens inside. This not only leads to the finest quality true-to-life renditions but also makes the engine very easy to use. Things just look the way they have to once your scene is set up. Moreover, fryrender is the first engine of its kind capable of transforming scenes into a format that can be navigated in real-time with the aid of our Virtual Reality engine Random Control 4>
