archpartners Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hello to all, I'm working on an animation for a building that is located on an island. I would like to have a kind of satellite view of this island and then the camera coming down or flyin to the building location. I've seen in the past a software that helps you create this specific type of work but I don't remember the name. I will apreciate if someone could tell me the name. Thanks. Max.

Jeff Mottle Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Have you looked into Goggle Earth (formerly Keyhole) http://earth.google.com/ There is a really good example of this on the SketchUp page here:http://www.sketchup.com/index.php?id=408 watch the top Flash banner.

LOL, I'm a Google whore. I have almost every app they make installed on my machine. Screw privacy, it's all about convinience. IMHO. Like I can have privacy...search for "Jeff Mottle" on Google and there are over 4000 links!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, they are here to help us. They work from a book called 'To Serve Man'. Soon we will all be climbing abourd their silver spaceships for a trip to the stars.... "We just finished translating the book---it's a cookbook!" Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilky9 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Wow, Dave! That's really good work. I've done some work with Google Earth and the Sketchup plugin. It's really easy to do. I think it took about 30 minutes the first time I did it, and about 15 the next time. Unfortunately, GE doesn't support any texturing besides simple colors; no bitmaps. I've heard that it's coming, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
