With the latest development in Google’s 3D Warehouse, you can already embed a 3D view (AKA “swivel”) or even 3D map view (this latter one requires the GE Plugin on the end user’s end however) in your website with iFrames (see below – the above is only an image). Read more.
Made from the excellent model of our “Historic English Buildings” modeller, Tom Harvey, SketchUcation Community Forums member “Speaker” has posted a beautiful animation compiled partly from Google Earth, partly from Podium results. Visit the topic here or watch the video below:
“Lets test some serious organic modeling skills. This challenge is all about sailboats, you can make as detailed model as you like; use limited texture & work more on modeling 3d. your Sailboat can be luxury sail yacht, catamarans, classic sailboat, modern sailboat, racing sailboat or pirate sail vessel…” Read more
Earlier this week, Google released tens of thousands of new 3D buildings in Japan. Major Japanese cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto have joined the growing list of cities and towns prominently displayed in Google Earth’s 3D buildings layer. Read more.
“The new, automated, 3D pipeline will allow us to review and publish your models faster, and with far greater predictability. Specifically, the new system will enable us publish data on a *weekly* basis and, in the near future, even faster. So, with the exception of the one week per month where we need to conduct [...]
The official Google SketchUp blog SketchUpdate has announced an experimental new feature in the 3D Warehouse which let’s you find similarly-shaped models. See the SketchUpdate blog for the details.
