I finally had a chance to add some 3D models to my Marlton collection. I get a few minutes here and there to add a wall or roof profile, edit out a tree so don’t judge too harshly. Included here is Doreens, Dog Days, and the huge fire station.

First I will give you Philadelphia. Which is the closest city for me. Some of the models done by Google/AMA like City Hall are truly excellent. Enjoy:

About one every day or two even if they are a little rough. I figured I would start with the largest buildings in Marlton first and then branch outwards. I think it is easier to constrain oneself to an area so I decided that I would stay in Marlton/Evesham for a bit. Actually Evesham is the largest town in the largest county (Burlington) in New Jersey. What I am wondering now is whether I need to create lower level-of-detail (LOD) models for the same in order to improve the performance of GE when the models are turned on. Maybe some one in the GEarth community would care to answer.

I have been following the Sketchup Buildings Blog for a little while now and I can’t help but notice that almost every day a new model of a building in Kabul is modeled. I can’t find a site for this development and I am not sure the motivation but it seems to be related to a German Computer Science/Mathematics professor. I imagine this may be part of reconstruction projects and planning. What I don’t get is why they were nice enough to make it public. In any case here are some more shots. I will make a fly through video when I get a chance.

Sadly there has been only one live election results site that I have found here. Oh and don’t try to tell me that ABC has a fulfilling live map, you can only see one senate race per state and nothing else.
