But you only have the full resolution versions of these files, and you feel a little lazy. Let's imagine that you want to display on your website a list of thumbnails of your creations or travel pictures. To start with a simple example, we'll stick to regular images. Hence, it is useful to always remain aware of what data a client's computer gets from a website. There is a fundamental concept in information technologies that any good hacker keeps in mind: what data your computer sees, you can see it as well and save it. Yes, they 3D-scanned 3D-scanned data! As crazy as it sounds, this is actually the only "successful" reports I found. Some people got crazy about it, and ended up doing photogrammetry from series of still screenshots of Google Maps. I am not the first to try and tackle this challenge. Wow, so much data! What cool things could we do with this? Nice 3D flight overs, impressive holliwoodian visual effects, city mashups… You tell, I'm sure you have a lot of ideas! But mmh, wait, how do we actually get this data into a 3D software? Here's an example of a Fly-Over of a route from plotaroute.Many cities around the globe are available in 3D in Google Maps.A viewing distance of around 300m usually works quite well. You can alter the viewing angle and viewing distance in the Touring tab in Google Earth Settings/Preferences - a viewing angle of 70-80 degrees will give you a good view of the hills and the route comuing up.You can view an animated Fly-Over the route by clicking on the 'Fly-Over Tour' item in the left panel (arrow 1 below) and then clicking the Play Tour button (arrow 2 below).Once the file has downloaded, simply click on it to open the route in Google Earth.Then select KML as the GPS download file format and choose whether you would like to include mile/km markers.Select Download from the menu above the map.You can also download the Google Earth app for mobile devices from your app store and view the route in Google Earth on your smartphone. You will first need to download and install Google Earth if you don't already have it.You can even watch a fly-over the route! Follow these instructions. You can view any route from in glorious 3D using Google Earth.
