This 2D photo-realistic images and resulting 3D video animation of a Waterfall Wall design concept was “inspired” originally by photos found on Houzz and added to one of my Ideabooks.

Both idea projects – a 2D imaging project and 3D model animation -- were designed for Haney Landscaping, in Ojai, California.

A customer and local area homeowner had an existing two-tier wall planter in a small backyard patio space. They wanted to “see” imaging ideas that showed the “feeling” of a backyard oasis designed for meditation and relaxation. (One family member was in need of an outdoor healing space to retreat to.)

Using the Houzz inspiration photos as a starting point, 2D photo-realistic images displayed various wall stone textures and colors that could be a launching point for the design/build project. As a fun extra, the 3D animation was created afterwards to punctuate the “aliveness” of what a water fall wall and pond would feel like, as shown is several of the 3D Screenshots.

PLEASE NOTE:

--The V-Shaped waterfall was originally designed by Envision Landscape Studio in San Francisco, California and found under their “San Francisco” project: https://www.houzz.com/projects/305386/san-francisco
