I. Modeling for a Map
Modeling for Google Earth can be challenging because it
is quite different than 3D modeling for architectural
projects or to achieve professionally rendered scenes.
Since Google Earth is an online, interactive, 3D
program, models must be optimized for fast download
and for good computer performance. Also, since the
goal is to view a full city worth of models at a time,
models must coincide with the big picture, and
therefore portray only enough detail.
Keys to Success
¤ DonÓt model all the Details
¤ Represent only the Important Aspects
¤ Let texture images show most of the details
¤ Small files are Crucial
¤ Make it Beautiful
¤ Maintain Accuracy in Scale and Location
