For inspiration - google maps 3d generated locations


freyk

Recommended Posts

As you may know, at the website google maps you can look at the world map.
And has nice features, like viewing the streets in 360 streets & pictures using google street view-feature.
A time now, there is a feature you can zoom in on some locations and
get a 3d generated environment of the selected location.
(note that some locations are only 3d generated)
 
This topic is meant to show people some nice 3d generated locations,
to get inspired for your beloved game.

Do you know some nice 3d generated locations?

=====
Instructions:

  1. open your webbrowser (preferably google chrome for this instruction),
  2. go to maps.google.com.
  3. hit the satelite-button on the left bottom of the screen. (and then on the right bottom side, the "3d" icon should appear)
  4. search for a location (for this working example: netherlands - amsterdam)
  5. and then slowely zoom in using the scrollbutton of the mouse.
  6. Wait some seconds to load the 3d objects. and move the camera.

To share the location, copy the url.

(camera zoom in and out = scroll mouse)
(rotate: hold ctrl-button + leftmouse button, move mouse)

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      @TheUnbeholden
      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
