The official blog for Google Maps
Your 3D buildings in Google Earth
March 30, 2009
[Cross-posted with the
SketchUp Blog
]
Late last week we updated the
3D Buildings layer
in
Google Earth
. The emphasis of this release was user-contributed data; photo-textured 3D models created using
Google SketchUp
and published to the
Google 3D Warehouse
.
This release was significantly larger than previous releases. Thousands of user-generated models were pushed live and we hope yours was included! The reason for the increase is that we've
been
working hard to identify and review 3D building models that may have been overlooked. Many thanks to our loyal modelers who have helped to identify these deserving models, and been patient while we work out some kinks in the process.
If you're a geo-modeler and have been waiting for your model to be reviewed, have a look to see if it made it in this release. If not, then stay tuned. We've already started the process of re-reviewing each and every "Google Earth ready" model submitted to the Google 3D Warehouse. It's no small undertaking but we're committed to having this completed very soon.
In the meantime, hats-off to the many modelers whose models were included. To highlight a couple....check out the
Chrysler building
in New York modeled by
Kevin Girard
, or
Saint Peter's Basilica and Square in Vatican City
by
Antonino Grasso Cristaudo
. Awesome work!
