Bouncing Google Earth

January 17, 2007

Ok, you have to see this one – so, to make it easy I made a video. It made me laugh this morning. This bouncing Google Earth (from within Google Earth) was created by ‘barnabu’ and posted at the Google Earth Community (GEC). You can easily view this in GE 4 by loading the bouncing GE file , then click on the little clock icon on the left side of the time slider gadget. This brings up the time options requester, and you need to select the “Repeat mode” to “Bounce” option on the lower right. Click “Ok”, and then select the “Play” button (a little right arrow on the right side of the time slider). You will then see the bounce animation. ‘barnabu’ created this as an example of how to do an animated shadow. He does that, but I think its just hilarious! You can just watch this little YouTube video (but, it looks a lot better in GE):

    That’s really cool! But did anyone notice the amount of detailed 3D buildings in Boulder (east from bouncing earth)?
