Madrid is now in 3D

Madrid, Spain is now in 3D, it's quite impressive. According to Google, Madrid has the largest concentration of 3D models anywhere on the planet! If you see if for yourself, you'll see that it's true.

Madrid in 3D

Through a combination of SketchUp and Building Maker submissions, Madrid has an amazing depth of coverage. Fly there yourself, or check out the video below for a quick tour.

No word on whether they've added additional cities or buildings, but I assume that various other user-submitted content was added to other areas of the world. If you see any of yours that just landed in Google Earth, leave a comment and let us know.

Real-time 3D models with Live3D

A group of graduate students at Washington University in St. Louis have developed an incredible technique to put real-time imagery on the sides of 3D buildings.

In the words of Austin Abrams, one of the members of the group:

In the last few months, we've been developing Live3D, a Google Earth-powered web application that allows users to transform photos into 3D geometry in Google Earth. If you give the application a webcam URL, then the geometry of the scene changes as the webcam image refreshes. So, you can recreate (say) the Eiffel tower in 3D and get a live, constantly refreshing 3D model, instead of the static Sketchup model. We have a few examples of university campuses, and you can actually watch in real-time as students walk across the surface of Google Earth.

Once a user has built up a scene enough, the camera is automatically calibrated, revealing its location and orientation.

Swan and Dolphin Hotel

As Digital Urban points out, this technique could work particularly well for urban areas where the content would change much more often (billboards, etc).

The technique is amazing, though it certainly needs some refinement. The biggest problem will likely be the quality of webcam images -- most are of lower quality than what would be ideal. Still, that could one day be an option in Google Earth; view the standard model (better looking) or view the real-view version of that model. The possibilities are certainly intriguing.

Check out their site to browse through the models. They're all shown using the Google Earth Plugin, so you'll need to have that installed to see them.

New 3D models for the Olympics (and Cincinnati)

Toward the end of last year, Google pushed out a bunch of excellent 3D models for the upcoming Vancouver Olympics, covering 8 of the 9 venues. They've now updated many of those models with higher-resolution imagery and they also added the ninth venue (the Bobsled Course).

Vancouver Olympic Bobsled

With this update, they have include a total of 54 buildings across all nine venues. You can view them in the Google 3D Warehouse, or simply fly out there (Bobsled KML) to see them in Google Earth (make sure to have the "3D Buildings" layer checked).

For another way to view the venues, Soren Johannessen has built a tour of the venues using the Google Earth Plug-in, which you can view here.

Also in the past few days, Google has added 3D buildings to Cincinnati, Ohio. These buildings come from a variety of sources; some are user-generated, some are Google-generated, and some gray buildings were submitted via the Cities in 3D Program. All in all, it makes for a great 3D city to fly through!

News: Building Maker, iPhone App, SketchUp

New improvements and cities in Building Maker: Google continues to improve the slick (and popular) Building Maker tool. This update makes it even easier to see which other buildings are under construction by fellow modelers, which is a much-requested enhancement. When viewing the map for potential locations to build, blue icons will appear to show where nearby buildings have recently been modeled. In addition, they've added the cities of Milan, Italy and Miami, Florida to the list.

GEB iPhone appGet the GEB iPhone app: With the help of MotherApp, we're pleased to announce the launch of our first iPhone app! The app gives you quick access to our recent posts, recent videos on
our YouTube page, and our recent tweets (@GEarthBlog). It's nothing too remarkable, but it's free! Download it from the app store here, or simply search for "Google Earth Blog".

New SketchUp Build: A new build of Google SketchUp has just been released, which tackles some bugs and security issues (full details). It's a free update, so it's recommended if you're a SketchUp user.

More 3D models added, with many more on the way

As they often do late in the week, Google has added a bunch more 3D models to Google Earth. There are no new 3D cities this time, but they've added a lot more user-generated models, presumably many of them from users creating them with the Building Maker tool. The official Building Maker Twitter account (@BuildingMaker) even showcased a user ("egRender") that has modeled over 200 buildings!

Google has also announced some numbers from the popular "Model Your Town" competition. As of now, more than 400 locations have taken the challenge to model their town.

Model Your Town

As these towns begin producing their 3D content, we could see another nice stream of 3D buildings find their way into Google Earth. We already have three main channels: SketchUp submissions, Building Maker buildings and large cities that are auto-generated by Google. Having another way to get additional models show into Google Earth would be excellent.
