Athens goes 3D
With the Winter Olympics wrapping up, Google thought it'd be fun to revisit the site of the first modern Olympic games. They've added detailed 3D coverage to the city, with thousands of buildings now showing off sharp 3D models.
They provide a list of fun places to check out, such as the Parthenon and the Herodeion Theater. If you can't load it up now, check out the video below of a short tour:

WOW, I have some questions to the 3D Citys:
-Which people building this?
-How many works on this and how long?
-Are they using the "Building Maker" or have they a special tool?
-Or is there someting automatic?
Anyone have a Idea?

Nils - They have software that autogenerates many of the buildings, though they include SketchUp and Building Maker generated buildings quite often as well.

The 3D version is gorgeous! It's always nice to see the city in a different perspective.
