In Response To: 3D New Mombasa in Google Earth (Jordan117) : 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 : Side view : Entrance : ...Plus pics of pieces that are not quite ready for upload yet: Amphitheater : Space Elevator : Downtown : All the models in a GE placement map : 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... O_O
