Modelling Madrid 3D. Geovisualization live!

And now, Let’s start with a 3D model… this is not very simple thou… First of all we have a flat /2D scenary at GE, no much more than 50 cm of resolution. The place is very close to Madrid downtown, a very big neighborhood called Moratalaz…we will find there two very big towers ofContinue reading “Modelling Madrid 3D. Geovisualization live!”

Modeling from scratch. Geovisualization live!

This is what we first have, a low resolution image taken from Google Earth (GE) visualization engine. This area is a small town within La Rioja, NE of Spain, about 300 km from Madrid. The town is called Muro en Cameros. First of all we have to find a better resolution imagen beacouse is absolutelyContinue reading “Modeling from scratch. Geovisualization live!”
