The Cincinnati Old Main Library

Completed in 1874 with a capacity for holding up to 300,000 books in its collection. 629 Vine Street was considered as “the most magnificent public library in the country”. In January of 1955, a new contemporary library opened at 800 Vine Street. The old building was sold to Leyman Corp for about $100,000 today, and by June that year, the magnificent library was lost forever.

Glad to share my second Houdini Project! I modeled and textured every asset in the scene.
Procedural modeled in Houdini, textured in Substance Painter and rendered with Mantra. Also a little bit Nuke.

I hope you like it!
