Cómo agregar un cielo en Google Earth

James Stafford, conocido en la Comunidad de GE como "Barnabu", ha escrito en el Barnabu blog una nota buenísima sobre cómo crear un cielo 3D para Google Earth. Lo llama "Domo del Cielo". Básicamente ha creado una semiesfera (o hemisferio) usando Google SketchUp, y luego agregó, proyectado apropiadamente, un cielo lleno de nubes al interior de la semi-esfera 3D. Tomó uno de sus modelos 3D, el Edificio Torso Retorcido, y creó un video mostrando cómo se vé dentro de SketchUp. Véanlo aquí:



Yo dí un paso más. Bajé su Edificio Torso Retorcido , y luego bajé su ejemplo de "Domo del Cielo" en SketchUp. Luego, importé la Vista Actual desde GE (simplemente seleccionando "Herramientas->Google Earth->Obtener vista Actual"). Luego exporté el Domo del Cielo a GE, seleccionando "Herramientas->Google Earth->Colocar Modelo"). Nota: También hay 2 íconos en la Barra de Herramientas de SketchUp para facilitar esta tarea.

Pueden ver el resultado bajando esto modelo de domo que mostrará el modelo de cielo y, si ya lo tenías descargado, el Edificio Torso Retorcido dentro de GE. Sólo ahora tienes un cielo alrededor del edificio. Puedes editar las Propiedades del Domo dentro de GE "Modelo" y arrastrar para mover el cielo a una nueva posición. Inclusive puedes cambiar el tamaño también. Puedes mirar hacia el cielo si tienes un SpaceNavigator (Navegador Espacial). Esta historia de Barnabu explica cómo puedes aplicar diferentes imágenes de cielos al Domo, usando SketchUp. Gracias Barnabu!

Revisión de Noticias: Iniciativa Google Earth de Beneficencia, Earth Pantalla Gigante, Pollmapr, Conferencias

  • Iniciativa Google Earth de Beneficencia - El Martes 26 de Junio, estoy llendo a la Oficina de Google en Nueva York. Google envió invitaciones a la prensa hace dos días para anunciar un nuevo programa creado especialmente para las organizaciones de Beneficencia de todo el mundo. La Red de Tecnología de Beneficencia informó sobre la invitación recibida. Los únicos detalles que se conocen al momento son los oradores: John Hanke, Director de Google Earth; Jane Goodall, del Instituto Jane Goodall; Kathy Bushkin Calvin, de la Fundación Naciones Unidas; Edward Wilson, del Instituto "Earthwatch"; and Elliot Schrage, de Relaciones Públicas de Google.

  • Google Earth en Pantalla Gigante en Apple WWDC

    La Tierra en Pantalla Gigante - Apple muestra Google Earth en una pared gigante de video usando 18 pantallas Apple de 30 pulgadas y alta resolución. Aparentemente una Mac Pro fué utilizada para cada dos pantallas. ¡Me hubiera gustado verlo por mí mismo! Fué presentado en la Conferencia Mundial de Desarrolladores Apple 2007. via OgleEarth.

  • Pollmapr - Herramientas Geográficas Gratis informa sobre un nuevo sitio gratuito que te permite realizar encuestas. Lo interesante es que el sitio ofrece la posibilidad de registrar, mediante la IP del usuario, la ubicación de quien participa, mostrando ciudad/país del mismo. Pollmapr luego, provee un archivo KML para poder ver los resultados en Google Earth.

  • Conferencias - Se aproximan las conferencias de Mundos/Globos Virtuales: Conferencia y Exposición de Mundos Virtuales de Otoño tendrá lugar en San Jose, California el 10 de Octubre de 2007. También, el próximo mes está Geoweb 2007 del 23 al 27 de Julio de 2007en Vancouver, British Columbia. El CTO de Google Earth, Michael Jones, será uno de los referentes en esta Conferencia. Esta, probablemente, sea mayormente del interés de la gente de Google Earth. Me gustaría ir pero esa semana estaré navegando por el Caribe!!!

Taipei, Modelos 3D para Google Earth

Ya que estamos en el tema de los modelos 3D, un lector del GEB de Taipei, Taiwan llamado Steven Ho, me ha enviado una colección de Modelos 3D que ha creado para Google Earth. Tiene un blog (en Chino) donde muestra un número interesante de proyectos que ha realizado. Se destaca la colección de Edificios 3D de Taipei (son edificios simples, sin textura, pero abarcan muchos de los edificios de Taipei).

Steven también creó el Modelo de una nueva atracción turística de Taipei - un sistema de Góndolas para pasajeros en las montañas cercanas a Taipei llamada la Góndola Maokong. No sólo modeló la Góndola Maokong , sino que también creó una animación que muestra su uso. Sin embargo, esta animación requiere de bastante memoria - no tienes que habilitar la opción 4D de todas maneras, sólo mira este video de YouTube:

Aquí hay algunos detalles del mismo:

La Góndola Maokong fué planificada y construída por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Taipei. Recorre una distancia de 4.030 metros, con 4 estaciones donde los pasajeros pueden desembarcar y embarcar: la Estación del Zoológico de Taipei, la Estación Recinto del Zoológico, la Estación del Templo Zhinan y la Estación Maokong. Hay también dos estaciones donde las góndolas pueden cambiar de dirección. Son utilizadas para controlar el movimiento de las góndolas y no llevan pasajeros.

Las góndolas están hechas de aleación de aluminio y pueden llevar 8 personas. El sistema viaja a una velocidad de entre 3 y 5 metros por segundo y puede soportar un máximo de 144 góndolas al mismo tiempo, o sea, un total de 1.300 a 1990 pasajeros por hora en una sola dirección. El viaje más corto en góndola es de 17 minutos.

Google debería probablemente hablar con Steven Ho sobre sus edificios 3D e incluírlos en la capa de Edificios 3D de Google Earth. ¡Gran trabajo Steven!

3D Buildings Update for Google Earth - June

Christchurch 3D Buildings in Google Earth Google has pushed out an update to the "3D Buildings->Best of 3D Warehouse" layer. This means models which have been selected to deserve the new "Blue Ribbon" status are now part of the default "Best of" layer (see tips on how to submit your 3D model).

I had noticed there were a bunch of buildings being added to the 3D Warehouse for Christchurch, New Zealand a while back. The models were built by architects ZNO Christchurch (see their recent blog post). The ZNO guys had previously been using real architectural software and converting them over for viewing in GE over a year ago (before GE 4 came out). But, they now seem to be using SketchUp pretty enthusiastically. They say in their blog they will be adding more buildings every month. Right now it looks like several blocks in downtown are available.

Another huge improperly scaled building can be seen at these coordinates: "39.48, 26.90" (western Turkey). Make sure the 3D Buildings layer is turned on. You may have to zoom out to about 20 miles to see it as the building is 11 miles wide. I imagine this will be removed from the layer pretty quickly. A GEB reader e-mailed me about it yesterday, so I told Google about it.

There are cities all over the world getting 3D Buildings created by people using SketchUp. Check out cities like Chicago, Karachi, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Moscow, and more.

[UPDATE 1420 ET: Got a list of cities from Google which had significant new buildings: Kabul, Afganistan; Montreal, Canada; Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, Germany; Madrid and Barcelona, Spain.]

Tour de France 2007 in Google Earth

Tour de France 2007 in Google Earth As in the previous two years, biking enthusiasts have put together the details on the routes for all stages of this year's Tour de France. Someone called "Timetxu" in the Netherlands has published this TdF 2007 KMZ file in this forum post (Dutch).

Viewing the Tour de France routes in Google Earth is one of my favorite examples of the power of Google Earth. With GE's 3D terrain, you can tilt your view and truly get a feeling of how challenging this race really is - even if you have never been to see it in person. An important difference this year for Google Earth viewers is that the imagery for the French Alps has been greatly improved now that Google Earth includes medium resolution 2.5 meter resolution imagery from Spot Image. Still fuzzy up close, but better than it was last year. Also see a thread of posts with some other KML files showing some of the different stages for this year's Tour de France.

The GE file for this year's TdF posted above is not as detailed as some previous versions of the Tour de France, but it gives a good overview of all the stages. Last year Google helped develop an official Google Earth file (in four languages) for the stages for the official TdF web site. And someone even developed a live tracking capability of the race for 2006 (see below). Maybe we'll see some other innovations before the race begins on July 7th.
