As mentioned a couple days ago, Las Vegas now has a collection of many 3D buildings representing some of the most prominent hotels and casinos on The Strip. I also discovered this weekend that Denver, Colorado – which was already the city with the most 3D textured buildings in Google Earth – now has nearly twice as many buildings added. Here are two YouTube videos demonstrating the new buildings in both these cities:
Las Vegas
Denver
Wow, nice
I hope more cities will have 3D textured buildings soon. Not just these two, although Vegas is an obvious choice for having textured buildings with all the hotels lining the Strip, lol.
Hiya Frank. I’m just wondering, what is your control method? Oh You just said your using the 3d connexion thing… Is there a way to do a similar thing with a game controller?
Hi MinneapolisRay,
Yes, I used the SpaceNavigator in the videos. Yes, you can use other controllers (if they are recognized by Windows/Mac OSX as a controller). Read this blog entry for info:
