| 3D New Mombasa in Google Earth | |

Some of you may recall a thread I made a few months ago about the model of Old Mombasa I'd made with Google SketchUp. It was pretty cool, but it's small potatoes compared to what I've been tinkering with since then.
Ta-da! I give you the New Mombasa suspension bridge. Fully realized in textured 3D, this painstakingly detailed model is available for download directly to Google Earth 4, thanks to the program's tight integration with SketchUp. You can also download the model to SketchUp itself, adding on to it as you wish. [/sales pitch voice] This is still a work in progress, mind you. I'm using both GE and SketchUp to create a full 3D model of the entire city, with locations accurate both to the game and the real-life Mombasa Island. If all goes well, the entire model will eventually be available for download and viewable in Google Earth as a 3D overlay to the Mombasa area. Here are some more pics of the bridge: View from above
...Plus pics of pieces that are not quite ready for upload yet: Amphitheater
If you think this is really cool, why not download SketchUp for free and try it yourself? It's incredibly powerful and easy to use, and there's plenty of inspiration to be had in the 3D Warehouse. Happy sketching...
